I don't disagree, but it's not a direct comparison with Bottas because the w12 was a much easier car to drive. The w13 on the other hand is incredibly difficult to drive and it seems it isn't matching Hamiltons style so he doesn't have the confidence to push it all the way. With George he's used to driving crap boxes and literally putting them into positions where it shouldn't be.
So imo George is out performing the car and able to push past the natural limits of the car that is induced by porpoising and can extract every ounce of performance the car can give, i.e. he is extracting performance that shouldn't be there. With Lewis he is driving at the limit of the car if not under it, so he is slightly underperforming. That's just how it is, if you don't feel confident in the car you can't perform.
