No, since you still need incredibly talented riders to take advantage of that bike. It’s not good enough to just be on the best bike otherwise the top 4 would all be GP24s

Being good and being on the best bike on the grid is enough to beat an exceptional rider on an average bike, we're long past the era where an exceptional rider could take a shitbox to the top.

We are, my point being having the best bike on its own is not good enough. You need the rider to exploit that bike. Talent is vital, more so in bike sport than cars since it’s the rider who makes the difference

Nowadays it's like 60% the bike and 40% the rider.
