Definitely, it someone saw the 2021 season and particularly the extraordinary  finale in the scenario of a movie, this spectator would find it farfetched.

Nevertheless FIA and the F1 organizers must be very happy for the change at the top of the sport. All sports are televised spectacles nowadays and 8 years of Mercedes domination in the constructors' and drivers' championships is too long to keep fans interested and on the edge of their seats. Fans are looking forward to more action next year after 8 years of predictable stalemate.

We must remember, however,  that Hamilton just missed his 8th but Mercedes-AMG got their 8th constructors title. Ferrari, as the oldest team, have won more (16?) since 1961 and McLaren in their various ownership structures and engine partnerships also won 8. But Mercedes-AMG are the only ones who have done it in consecutive seasons and with an unchanged corporate/engineering structure.
