He looked faster as he was recovering against slower cars!

Re: Some amazing stats from 2021 season!
One from the Autosport review of the year that surprised me: Number of laps led (out of approx 1500 in total): 1 Verstappen 652 2 Hamilton 297 3 Bottas 79 4 Ocon 66 etc. Verstappen led over twice as many laps as Hamilton? In all the other stats they're near even. Maybe that explains my feeling that...

Perez if your only contribution in a race is being a doormat for your team mate you dont get a vote for slowing Hamilton down which did not matter overall.

I'd feel a lot less nervous about it if Verstappen had gotten a penalty which put him back to 3rd or 4th. That would have been wise from the stewards.
