Really?
Hamiltons first 9 races with near zero F1 seat time were all podiums considerably outscoring the then current 2DWC Alonso.
He would have won the 2007 DWC bar a gearbox fault at the last race. He then went on to win the 2008 DWC.
There is literally no comparison with Verstappen who in his first two years against Ricciardo didn't do so well.
The first mark of a true great is beating your team mate from the very first races.
And after 5 years he still manages to not win races he should have (see Istanbul) because he lacks the instinctive talent to control the car at the limit of adhesive and more importantly he lacks racing intelligence.
