Not surprising you are wrong and cannot back up your theories, mindlessly attacking drivers which is accepted and common behaviour here as long as targets are right. Your level of F1 knowledge makes you suitable candidate for Sky commentator.
- Silverstone and USA '15 he was considerably quicker than Hamilton, slower in Monaco and Suzuka, Malaysia Q '10 very quick - the only other I could remember, Rosberg has been good in the wet AFAIR. Brazil was not the only good wet race for Massa when he was quicker than Hamilton, he was similarly bad/quick/off track in Monaco '08 but didn't crash at the right time
- Myth of Hamilton's wet conditions brilliance brought up every time there's a chance of rain based mostly on one Silverstone race is getting annoying. There is a dozen examples to the contrary. Four mentioned, spinfest in China '09 (the only occasion not in the best cars which helps), China '07 gravel, crash vs Button in Canada, crane in Germany, lost Australia '10, find yourself the rest.

He's been outperformed by Hamilton in qualy under rain in Australia, China 2014. We will not even talk about the rape of Hamilton against him in Suzuka 2014 in 1v1 race. About Silverstone 2015 we all now Hamilton was so slow because of tires freeze due to his brake balance
No and no:
- in four wet races between them Rosberg was twice considerably quicker (USA, GB) and twice Hamilton (Monaco Suzuka). That's a fact and no, the latter wasn't "rape" if you can count (and care I don't) speed difference in USA and GB was bigger
- I've never heard of "brake balance" excuse. What kind of reason is that anyway? Change it. Always some BS excuse No, It was a matter of tyres, conditions and drivers dealing with. Roberg was dealing with it 1-2 s quicker per lap. Problem disappeared after pitstop (change of tyres) and Rosberg ending ~8-10 s behind.
- Tue LH was couple of time quicker in wet Q early '14 but I (and I think Rosberg) will it take because it makes his dry Q advantage even more visible
- Before '14 one Q vs Q is hardly a case that justifies stupid statements like that , impossible to compare cars anyway
Silverstone yes Rosberg gaining 3second per lap on Lewis and that's without issue for Lewis ? Stop this bullshit. I t was not rain but changing condition
I've heard brake issue for Rosberg in Monaco, the outcome is he couldn't heat the tires. And you can see on the onboard of the race that Lewis is on freezing tires and Rosberg well heat tires.
It's a rape when you fight for the Championship in one of the last race and your opponent past you on the outside under the rain and he's on another rythm.
He was always quicker under rain conditions in 2014, only in Spa he made a little mistake through the sector 2 and Rosberg grab the pole by a small margin.
That's your point, compare with other car.. I'm not doing that
