I feel bad for people watching F1 that only care about who finishes 1st. There is so much exciting racing going on between every other team. 2021 is the exception, not the rule.
If anything, the competition has been more exciting this season with multiple teams reaching podiums - Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren. The reason why Max lead is so significant is because the distribution of points within other teams is fairly even.
