Tom mentioned it in his newletter and he did a post on instagram

And next season with Tom Scott, can't wait!

I do agree Max is the best driver on the grid right now.

But remember Lando has helped developed the car from the last seven year by giving his feedback. It's a combination of both the driver and the car.

Put Lance Stroll in the McLaren, would he Champion ? Of course not, he would still find a way to crash the car in a wall.

That's the way I understood it at first. But after reading it again after reading the comments above, I can see the other way of viewing it. I do agree with you that how the sentence is currently written it's confusing.
