Same for MSC when he stepped in for Bertrand in 91.
Superior talent beats inferior talent who has more routine. Quite simple.

But you miss the point. They tested pretty much every week. There were test teams so they could drive current cars regularly before hitting the tack in a race weekend.
That doesn't happen now so how does one explain this? Palmer was also pretty quick in testing when he got the chance. Now he's being possibly sidelined.
