But the perception is that Perez is doing much worse than George.

Well noticed, and it's certainly noticed amongst the people I deal with.
In fact it's worse as the points differential between the positions the Mercs are fighting over is less than those for the Red Bulls, meaning the massive point difference is even bigger really.
Also Perez is up against a Verstappen at the possible height of his abilities, whereas I think most would agree Hamilton is slowly in a gradual decline.
Also, in a seven car fight Russell is currently P7.
I am sure Mercedes are in a quandary as to who to look to for the future. Putting too many of their eggs in the Antonelli basket already would have to be a big risk.
