The race track isn't helping.

Hamilton was slow, but he was only slow on parts where you couldn't overtake.
He was fast in the first section until after the straights, to make sure Rosberg never had a chance to overtake him.
Consequently, Rosberg was slow on the same parts but could be fast on the parts where one could overtake, thus not giving any chance to his pursuers either.

Once in the Hamilton queue, everyone was slow.
