The difference is down to, yes, Hamilton outdriving the car, Bottas usually doing the job when needed in Baku and Austria
But mostly, the fact that Mercedes has not instituted team orders, and more importantly that they have not treated the 2nd car as insignificant.
Kimi has been the beneficiary of some lousy strategy, poor cars and team orders that have hampered his and Ferrari's ambitions in general.
That, ultimately is why Mercedes are this far ahead in the WCC
