Here’s What The F1 2016 Season So Far Would’ve Looked Like Without Mercedes
Mercedes has done the best job with the current regulations since they were introduced in 2014, but someone’s taken a look at what the F1 2016 season so far would look like without the Silver Arrows - it's pretty fascinating!
Reddit user Supercar_Toons posted these two imgur (via EEESJ) pictures showing headlines, brief race summaries and championship standings if we were in a parallel universe where Mercedes wasn’t competing in F1.

Naturally 11 of the 12 races have different winners and the shake-up in the top 10 for each round so far has nicely mixed up the drivers’ and constructors’ standings, with Daniel Ricciardo the run-away leader ahead of the summer break.

Another image was posted later on with a graph showing the accumulation of points over the course of the season.
So yeah, while we appreciate the awesome job Mercedes has done so far, this looks pretty damn cool too!

That’s why we all liked Spanish GP so much…
Although I think Mercedes do deserve these wins and Lewis is an amazing driver, they kind of ruin the intrigue
It looks way more exciting but some people would complain about Ricciardo dominating and destroying the sport just like it is with Hamilton and Mercedes.
TL;DR an engineer/mechanic or Lewis and Nico should run into each other more often
F1 without Mercedes= Vettel and Raikkonnen pub stomping noob skrubs
Mercedes haven’t gone so this is not true
Well this is interesting
Why are the drivers on different teams?? Ex: the hulk on Manor and Massa in Haas
Theres actually a fight between teams? This is what ive been waiting for
Mercedes is ruling F1 for a reason. And that’s just Ferrari being nowhere as good enough.
