I think these stats are pretty interesting after Lewis got quite some backlash last year for not performing as some expected. Honestly I think at this point Russell has proven himself a solid driver and this just then goes to show Lewis is still on his game. I hope Lewis stays around long enough for this pair to battle it out for a while yet especially in a more competitive car, that would be interesting to see.

Lewis’ stats were subpar last year because the team used him as the setup Guinea pig since he had far better/more feedback experience. No point testing setups on George who wouldn’t know what the top car is supposed to feel like anyway

Oh that's interesting I hadn't heard about that before but it makes a lot of sense.

Not that I don't believe you, but I heard this take elsewhere as well. Is there any "source" for this I can read?

The way it's painted, it looks like having DNFs is a good thing.
