The $100M/year Hamilton is struggling with a difficult car, while his teammate seems to have the upper hand. Meanwhile, the driver they wanted to get rid of just won a race coming off a surgery (and a strong podium finish before that) and seems to be more comfortable than his teammate, who is considered one of the best on the grid.

While this is probably not going to be the norm throughout the year (Hamilton will find his form; as will Charles), so far it looks like Ferrari made a huge mistake. I would love to be proven wrong, but only time will tell.
