But if you look back a least year's quali pace, Nelson was one of the closest to his teammate compared to other teams. If you then consider him being a rookie against a double WDC and also what a difficult car it was to drive, especially at the first half of the season.. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
Actually, wasn't Alonso the only one last season who beat his teammate in every single qualifying-session, often getting into or near Q3 while Piquet lost out in Q1, and later on reaching mid-high Q3 while Piquet remained in Q2?
