Not only could Verstappen hardly beat Ricciardo in the same car, he could barely have a race in the first 2-3 years without crashing into something or somebody.
It was a standing joke in the press conferences in those days asking Verstappen when he was going to stop crashing.
Verstappen is winning in a supremely dominant car, why would he not.
But he is no Hamilton.

Max was 17 when he entered F1 and that was when Ric was at his peak in F1 and was quite good. Yet Max with almost no experience had the same number of wins and 1 less podium. Ham was what? 23? Huge difference in maturity. Let's also not forget that Ham lost to Ros who wasnt that good.
Let's compare that to Max at 23 years, where he, in an inferior car, not only beat Ham, but put up a better season than Ham ever has. His car is not at all dominant if you look at the stats - he is. Stats of 1-2 finsihes, gaps to the rest of the field all place the w05/06 ahead of both the RB18/19 and w11 is right there too.
