Verstappen was a huge flop in the first part of the season, he wouldn't have won the WDC in a Ferrari or a Mercs for that matter. He showed his class in the 2nd part but that was just enough for 4th in the WDC. Lewis showed that for one to win a WDC, one needs speed but most important consistency. Seb and Max had the speed but not the consistency. Kimi was the only one who had consistency but he lacked a bit of speed and those 4 DNFs by no fault of his own didn't help. Hamilton had the car, the speed and the consistency in results, plus a rear gunner.
