It has nothing to do with fans or not fans. It's all about understanding
why. It's a simple indisputable fact that Rosberg was quicker during a very narrow but distinct window of the race, namely then when the track became unpredictable. We know for a fact why Hamilton drove slower; he said it himself in the post-race interview, namely because he had lost tire temperature and pressure. Rosberg, evidently, did not. This explains the large lap time offset we saw. Nothing more, nothing less. In hindsight, Rosberg did it right, Hamilton didn't (and thus became vulnerable, which forced him into the perfect pit-stop decision).
I cant disagree with you. Mainly because we are saying the same. I mean, Rosberg was better on a certain moment of the race, then Hamilton pitted, conditions changed and Hamilton was again the best. My complain, if it can be defined like that, is that when Nico is better there are tons of explanations which give me idea that he was better because of a certain reason, not because he is also a great driver. On the other hand, when Lewis is better the only reason is because he is THAT good. I suppose that pressures, conditions of the trac,etc can also be applied to explain Hamilton's superior performance(and obviously because he is great).
