A small, young, or sickly lion would not necessarily be able to bring down a healthy adult gazelle. But an adult lion, especially a large female, is more than capable of bringing down a full-grown gazelle. The object of lions as predators is to pursue and kill the most available prey, which are usually the smaller, slower, or less agile individuals.

Who feels more fear the gazelle of the lion or the lion of the hunt?

The gazelle likely experiences more fear of the lion, as it is the prey facing an immediate threat to its life. The lion, while also participating in the hunt, is driven by instinct and the need to secure food, which may not evoke the same level of fear as the gazelle's instinctual response to danger. However, a lion can feel stress or anxiety related to competition or scarcity of food, but this is generally less intense than the fear felt by the gazelle. Ultimately, the gazelle's fear is a direct response to the life-threatening situation it faces.
