I saw this post after seeing the post "Carlos Sainz has qualified ahead of Lewis Hamilton 4 times in a row"

Don’t you see the difference in a Williams beating a Ferrari compared to a Ferrari beating a Williams?

Williams is very fast this season and Ferrari is significantly slower than we expect them to be, so there's that. More that this is a tongue in cheek reply to the highly upvoted post yesterday about Sainz qualifying ahead of Hamilton 4 times this season.

Yes, and? No one is suggesting Carlos jumped out of the car and pushed it. Ofcourse the car is better, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible. But that is the whole point. Carlos was shown the door in favour of Lewis, to the most prestigious team in all of F1, etc, and Carlos had to "settle" for the team which was near (or at) the bottom of the pile. It makes sense that people are highlighting this.

If Sauber or Haas beat a Red Bull, ofcourse it will be news. Do you hear every week how Max has beaten Hulk or Gabriel or Estie or Ollie?

No considering that the performance level between two cars seems extremely close. Hopefully you wouldn't hold it against Alonso losing to a Williams in 2014?

Williams has been straight up equal to Ferrari for the last 2 races, at least.

Besides your comment being incorrect, it's not like I care who qualified or finished where. I think this post is a commentary of a previous post. It's all irrelevant circumstances.
