I could understand a few seconds of margin from aero, but it's hard to believe it's even the same engine.

I was thinking the same and I think Massa thinks the same too. But McLaren did state last year that a customer team cannot win the championship. All things being equal, Mercedes knows their engine better and they know how to utilize it. Also IIRC, I think Mercedes withholds the source code for the software.
