That's a far-too-simplistic comparison. Consider the following:
1) Age - Older drivers get slower, Kimi in his prime was a faster driver. Just look at Schumy - the fastest in his prime, and much faster than any teammate, yet Nico outperformed him at the end.
2) Luck - mechanical failures occur, other cars hit you, pit crews mess-up, each driver gets a different race strategy. VET got most of the bad luck compared to RIC.
3) Bias - A team's 2 cars will always suit one driver better than the other, for various reasons.
