No no no. Chidori is just the usage of one's Raiton chakra to create unstabilized 'static' in the palm of one's hand. It doesn't require nearly as much chakra control as Rasengan. If Sasuke had of used Raikiri in part 1, then you might have had an argument (as Raikiri requires advanced chakra control to increase the density and concentration, and as a result the piercing and cutting power of, Chidori).
That was early part 1 Naruto. Overall, part 1 Naruto had better chakra control than part 1 Sasuke (in the end).
