I also like to point out how some Hamilton fans talk about how Hamilton "destroyed" Alonso in 2007 even though they ended up with the same number of points.
I'm curious how they would describe the performance differential between Russell and Hamilton now, LOL.

The official explanation by Mercedes and HAM: experimental W13 setups for HAM and, based on his vast experience, HAM giving feedback to the team about those experimental W13 setups.
However, it looks like months of experimenting fails to remedy the fact that Mercedes rookie RUS keeps finishing each race in the top 5 (unlike HAM), is regularly outperforming HAM in qualies, is currently leading HAM by 34 points in the WDC and seems to physically cope better with the porpoising antics of the W13.
At some point you run out of explanations for the finding that the current young and modestly paid RUS wingman is squeezing more out of the W13 than the current old and lavishly paid HAM team leader.
Rendez-vous at Silverstone: interesting how both will handle their home race. Hopefully no team orders. Let them race for what they're worth on their home grounds.
