As if a 4xWDC shouldn't be expected to perform better than he's doing right now because he can't handle "pointy read end" and should be given perpetual passes for lack of results because of his accolades.
If Vettel/Albon is slower than Charles/Max, it's because Charles/Max is simply faster. Another funny argument or excuse is, driving style. Both Charles and Max had to adapt and cope with the demands of their machinery. They are making the car do all the hard work, instead of fighting with the steering wheel.
And if Vettel/Albon's "driving style" makes them break 0.1 sec early or going trough the corners 10 kph slower than their teammates, and its not the "driving style", it's called lack of adaptability.
Last year, mind you, Charles came to Ferrari to find a car he knew nothing about. He worked, adapted, he had to overcome a team that was Seb's team and would believe (rightfully) that Seb was the boss, prove that he did not come to be #2, and proved that he simply was faster.
That alone goes to prove that you are exactly right, Ferrari provided with two cars to the drivers and at the end Charles is -that- faster.
This year, without having to overcome something, he's showing true pace and this is why he's REALLY THAT faster. There is no conspiracy, there is no #2 car, there is nothing wrong with Seb's car.
It's all about the driver.
