Has there ever been a time when the top teams have remained this stable for this long?
Now that Hamilton has re-signed for Mercedes, the top teams are keeping the same driver’s for yet another season.
I know that the sport is safer, so fatalities and serious injuries do not create opportunities the way it did in the 60s and 70s. (Sorry if that sounds callous.). But that’s been true for a couple of decades at least.

So why are things so stable at the top?
