I truly think you could put any of the other "top tier" drivers in the MERC and they would beat ROS.
A lot of knee-jerk posturing here. ROS outqualified HAM last year, and beat him on-track several times. He's no hack. He consistently beat Schumacher for 2 years. Raikkonen is often listed among the top drivers, yet he's been roundly trumped by both Alonso and Vettel, so what does that mean?

Clearly, Hamilton's more comfortable than ROS with this year's car, but that can change. It had better change, or this will be one damn boring year.
