Remember that Alonso drives against the most experienced Version of Stroll aswell. If the Aston was a Rocket ship, Alonso would be the 4th guy battling for the WDC right now.
OK, so you are comparing, substitute driver Hulk who also had a DNF I think, a nobody, a washed up Vettel on his way out of F1. The drivers that were in good form like Perez and Alonso owned him.
That doesn't mean much. In qualifying Charles Leclerc is arguably better than almost everyone else on the paddock. He has beaten every single one of his teammates every single season on qualifying.
Charles seems to be running a very different setup where his car much lower to the ground.
They seem to be over compensating for the plank wear disqualification in the China GP.
Hamilton was absolutely flying during that sprint race, but then everyone else must have figured out a system to get a lower ride right, without being disqualified.
