That’s the point I was trying to make! How are cars with different setups and engine settings the "same"?
Yes I know the cars are physically the same. But the tuning and setup are not and not just because of driver preference. For example, a team may setup one car to be faster and the other slower but more reliable. Another example, they may build one engine to consume a little bit more oil than the other thus making it slightly faster. The two engines are technically the same but they do not perform the same. It’s all F1 team strategy. It's also what's wrong with F1. Good for the teams, bad for the drivers and spectators.
I'll bet if Mercedes had decided at the beginning of the season that Bottas was their man, he would be leading in points right now, not Hamilton.
