I'm not buying the "conspiracy againt Mercedes (and Lewis)" concept.
I'm a fan of Lewis, The definition of a quintessential 21st century Englishman and an example to us all.
He's also the "local boy" for me (very local) , so I'm just glad he is someone we can all look up to.

However during the season and the final race, track decisions were made that favoured each team.
In the end, the race came down to strategy , pit stops and tyres, not  some crazy Senna/Prost scenario or any anti Merc conspiracy.

RedBull and Max won in the end NOT because the car was better, or the driver was better, or even because of great strategy but because they were left with no options than to wish for a miracle and to position themselves just in case that miracle fell into their lap.
On the flipside, 15 seconds ahead & 15 laps to go Mercedes had no other option than to keep Lewis out on track and hope that Max had no opportunity to close that gap.

Don' t forget that Max still had to make that move in the final lap.
Being the best driver in the best car does not guarantee you the win. This is motor racing.

For those who think that we've seen the end of Lewis , think again. 
In a recent pre race interview Lewis said that if his younger McLaren era self had to race against himself now, the younger self would not stand a chance (but would never have accepted that an older version of himself could be faster) 

- we are defined by our of our adversaries
- we are defined by our response to our defeats
Lewis had had (and done) the best of both.

Rock on 2022, could Lewis  even BE more focused? Is that even possible?
