Directly comparing the data suggests Bottas is as much as 0.2-0.3 seconds per lap slower than Alonso and considerably less effective in races.
Neither Massa nor Bottas have been team-mates to Hamilton. But Alonso has - at McLaren in 2007. They finished tied on points, with four wins each, and Hamilton edged qualifying by the tiniest of margins. By any measure, it was - and is - very difficult to separate Hamilton and Alonso.
If 2017 follows the trend of those results, Hamilton can be expected to be comfortably quicker than Bottas.
Perhaps more surprising is that those comparisons suggest that not only is Bottas not a match for Alonso and Hamilton, but he might not equal Rosberg either.
However, drivers' form does not always directly translate across teams and rivals in as linear a fashion as might be expected.
It is up to Bottas to prove the comparisons wrong and grab the opportunity with both hands.
