Because he's an extremely consistent driver and has been pretty much since before he was 20. In 2017, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (strategy at Monaco and Massa terrorism at Monza), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. In 2018, whenever he finished a race without a skill issue (Australia spin, China crash, and Monaco FP3 crash), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. [This is the only time I have to exclude skill issues - the six race stretch to start the season is almost inarguably his worst stretch of races in his career, especially when considering races he finished. Hilariously, in this alternate timeline, he wins three of the four races he finished during that stretch, only finishing behind Ocon and Gasly at Monaco.] In 2019 and 2020, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Vettel terrorism at Silverstone 2019, engine penalty and Perez terrorism at Monza 2019, Bottas terrorism at Mexico 2019, and an asymmetrical front wing at Turkey 2020), he never finished behind a slower or equal car. In 2021, he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Bottas terrorism in Hungary) behind an equal car once (Hamilton at Bahrain) and behind a slower car zero times. In 2022, whenever he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Perez Q3 red flag at Monaco, blocked Venturi tunnel at Silverstone, qualifying strategy blunder at Singapore, setup issues at Brazil), he won. In 2023, he finished a race without severe mitigating circumstances (Q2 engine failure at Jeddah and setup issues at Singapore) behind another car once (Perez at Baku). So far in 2024, whenever he's finished a race, he's won.

It's actually way funnier (and way worse) than real life - the safety car mistakenly picks up the nearly lapped Lando Norris, putting Sainz nearly a whole lap ahead of Lando (as well as Esteban Ocon), and the race director fails to wave the two cars through, which would be the standard procedure. Only after fierce lobbying from McLaren team principal Zak Brown did the race director finally order the safety car to give Norris and Ocon the wave through - but with only two laps until the checkered flag, and the fast pace of the safety car, Norris and Ocon were utterly unable to catch back up to the queue, with Norris finishing 55 seconds behind Sainz, never having an opportunity to attack for the win and the championship.

Worse still for Brundle, the availability of former champions like Johnny Herbert means this alternate timeline would not involve him making a name for himself as a prominent TV commentator. Anthony Davidson would be another big loser, his career in the top class of the World Endurance Championship never getting off the ground thanks to Peugeot and Toyota picking drivers with more success in the WEC’s feeder series (Formula 1, so named because it would lead to LMP1 seats for successful drivers) than he had. He would now be hosting a sim racing podcast, not on TV covering F1.

Also in this timeline, Massa would not have his accident in hungary 2009 and thus not get injured and lose his form.

Even with less then 10 cars on the grid, there's still no one that beat the 19 wins...

Then, the pilots with the most points will do the rest 12 races in the top 3 teams. This way, no pilot will dominate for 5 years just because a team got one technical rule better than the rest.
