You're right, it's not a guarantee, but it did look good - almost a tenth slower than Nico's pole would have been enough, given that Lewis' middle sector was 2 tenths up on Nico reliably.
it was not 2 tenths, only 1 of Lewis advantage in S2(saw it on F1 app). But Rosberg was also usually faster in S3 (S1 and 3 usually had Nico faster, while S2 had Lewis)
It's entirely speculative what would have happened without the yellow flag
In Canada, Lewis had already been crawling all over the back of Nico, and would have taken the place in the pit stops even without Nico's stop being "screwed" by 1 second.
All in all, on a dry track, Rosberg has been usually on par or faster than Lewis.
I disagree - so does the 4-1 victory count on a dry track in even conditions.
No, Lewis would have not passed without the 1,6s longer pitstop of Rosberg. I mean, not that time. Whether he would have overtaken him later, that's another matter.
Only in Sepang and Canada that Lewis had better race pace. In Bahrain(where Nico had a bad start) and Barcelona, Lewis was slower in the race but won for leading the race after T1 as would likely be the case with Rosberg in Canada(assuming they wouldn't suffer the MGU-H problem or whatever it was)
I feel sorry for Lewis' DNFs and think, overall, he's better than Nico(especially on wet track, green track, changeable conditions, outdriving a bad setup car) but a lot of his fans(I'm not saying you) surely loves to exagerate things in order to worship him(as happens with other popular drivers)
