He was compared to his teammate don't you think? If it hadn't had been for numerous problems not the fault of Hamilton in big points positions the gap at the end of the season would have been 40-60 points rather than 2 points.

The Shooting Star: Hulkenberg - "They (Ferrari) have farmed Nico out to their customet team, Sauber, for mext year. But the bungee is firmly attached" The Juiciest Scandle: Hamilton - Twittergate (Spa & Unfollowing Buttongate) "Humble pie was eaten..." The One Hit Wonder: Maldonado - " 'Pastor is unavailable (Williams). We have a firm contract for next year; he's going nowhere!' At which point Pastor went 13 races without scoring another point." The First Lap Nutcase: Grosjean. The Bravest Overtake: Raikkonen on Schuey - Spa - "Who would lift first at 180 Mph...." The Master Politician: Horner (RBR)
