I don't know what you're saying. Who was at a disadvantage? Verstappen, right? He was 10+ seconds behind, with five laps to go, and that lead was not shrinking. It was 'in the bag' for Hamilton, as much as anything could ever be. Hamilton, even with his old, harder tires wasn't even losing tenths to Verstappen at that point. The difference, though, was putting Verstappen immediately behind him, with fresh tires, after a restart where tires were cold, and giving him the draft. That's four factors that made it pretty easy for him to pass Hamilton on the one/first lap after the Safety Car went in. I give Hamilton tons of credit for not doing anything stupid to block Verstappen. That was pretty mature, given the insanity of losing the championship under those ridiculous circumstances. There was nothing Hamilton could do on that last lap to "rise to the occasion." Nothing. Nothing Schumacher, Fangio, or Senna could have done. It was all down to physics.
