As you know I'm Hamilton fan as well so it's hard to be impartial.
The only thing I don't get sometimes is people that dislike Hamilton for his post race reactions, which are actually not really any different from any other driver on the grid.
Lewis wins 'DHL Fastest Lap Award'.

This is the thing that bugs me the most. When you ask them why this is, they will say you are accusing them of being racist.
A lot of people worship Senna but he was one of the most loathsome people around when things did not go his way. Vettel is another one as is Alonso. Somehow this is never mentioned, just Hamilton's. It is a phenomenon I do not understand
The thing that entertains me the most is the simple lack of grasp of the english language.
Couple of phrases which seem to blow some peoples minds:
Control
Downforce
Similiarities
Comparison
Facts
Opinions
Debate
Coward
Some of those words are key to understand and engage in reasonable debate
YOu could probably grasp it from those stats, but would be interesting to see, how many times Hamilton qualifies second and finishes first, and the same for Rosberg.
I.e has rosberg ever beaten lewis in a straight battle - just brazil???
Rosberg has a poor poie to win ratio
If it came down to it, where an overtake was required to win the World Championship, Alonso would be the best man for it. After that it's Hamilton. They have the best wheel-to-wheel racing ability on the grid and I don't think anyone can argue with that as the top two.
However, F1 isn't just about that. It's about managing tyres, consistency, getting the ultimate one-lap pace for qualifying. And some of those things is where Rosberg excels. It isn't the flashy stuff but it is also equally important.
This season, Hamilton has been the unluckier driver for sure, but you can't slate Rosberg for winning races because Hamilton was out of the picture and he has the fastest car. It's like the people who criticise Vettel for winning his World Championships, it's ridiculous.
Either of them would be a worthy World Champion.

Came across this, explains why Nico was able to nurse the car back at Montreal and Lewis couldn't.
