Tbh it probably doesn't matter whether he's quicker than Vettel or not. He's paid well to be the other driver and accepts begrudgingly that 9 times out of 10 he won't be allowed to race Vettel even if he was able to.
Maybe he has had a stay of execution because there was no suitable alternative. Maybe because they didn't want to disrupt Vettel.
Hard to say but it's probably somewhere along those lines?
