I guess the same was in effect when Ferrari were winning lots (though there was a little more to the FIA / Ferrari relationship) but I really don't understand how many people stick blindly to Max after races like todays.
Same when Red Bull/Vettel were on their 4 year streak. This Mercedes team have been much more dominant that either Red Bull or Ferrari in those examples, and for a much more sustained period.
I mean people were acting worse than this when Vettel was winning and those 4 years gave us what I'd say is 2 of the 4 best season finales that I can remember since the late 90's (alongside 2007/2008). I'd say Ferrari only really had 2 seasons (2002/2004) that were in the same ballpark of what Mercedes have normally had over the past few seasons (excluding this season).
I'd say the pro-Hamilton bias that then gets sent out on the world feed probably also is a significant factor. Of course each nation's TV coverage will have their biases if their nation has a driver in the fight, but I'm sure we'd be sick of hearing the constant pro-Max opinions if we had to listen to Ziggo Sport's coverage.

The vast amount of chat on r/Formula1 still seems to be pro Max / anti Lewis / FIA conspiracy
