No.
That's not so much the narrative that's happening as the narrative people are trying to create
Mercedes have already admitted Lewis and George have different spec of car (higher DF for George, Lower DF for lewis) as they're trying to understand this car rather than push for outright performance
Obviously higher DF was gonna prevail today, they both made great starts then Lewis got boxed in by the accident, George got around it and, coupled with a slow pitstop and an unsafe release into his path, that was it for Lewis as no-one in that DRS train was making passes on anyone else with such a wet offline area they needed for braking
An Alpha Tauri couldn't out drag a Williams FFS
But you know, Lewis is shit, it's all the car, yadda yadda yadda, meanwhile Vettel has been shit for about 4 years and spins of any and every chance he gets and no-one calls for his head after 1 mediocre performance, it's just the realities of mid-grid driving these days, sometimes you look like an underdog hero and sometimes a lemon through circumstances
If Lewis is lower DF then why could he not pass Gasly (or anyone else really)?
Maybe poor old Lewis has just lost his mojo.
