Not knocking on Max because I'm certain he's a great driver. I think this is more indicative of red bull building cars that are specifically bespoke to Max's unique preferences. For almost every other red bull driver, handling the car is probably like wearing pants that are 3 sizes too small and trying your best not to have the ass seam split when bending over.
There are drivers like Albon who found great success when they stopped driving for Red Bull and had a chance to drive a car better suited for them.
Some of it is also that Max has had years driving the car that has a similar philosophy as they are evolutions of that Newey concept while some of his teammates are lucky if they had a full season. Very few drivers can just swap teams and be immediately world class level, see Lewis and Carlos this year, both of whom have masses of experience, some of Max's teammates have been comparative rookies or never were that fast in the first place (Checo).
