3) Bias - A team's 2 cars will always suit one driver better than the other, for various reasons.

And someone live in a cleaner city, another wear better shoes. Obviously it will never be exactly the same for both in a comparison but they drove at least a full season together and at this point of time the result was clear. Good enough for me.
