LH didn't have and didn't want to push as hard as he may have could because he was saving his engine (as he had already a few problems) for the rest of the saison:

This is why he stated that MV wasn't catching up on him, he was just managing the pace and lead!!
The Red Bulls have a great car in the wet - it's said to be the best of all F1 cars this year under these circumstances - and if you want to compare any drivers skills you have always to compare them with the teammate first and...
LH was ALWAYS faster than NR in the wet ever since the raced together in the team.
It was the same with LH and FA in 2007 when they were teammates @Mclaren; and it was LH first season @F1 and he could match FAs pace in any condition and without FAs very dumm move @Hungary GP LH would have become F1 WC already in that year!
But it's obvious that you don't like him and therefore praise anybody to be quicker/ better/ more sympatic/ ... than him! 
But as as said, it's all about your teammate first and looking back any season @Mercedes GP since LH & NR were racing together LH was always quicker and was also in every season better ranked as Nicorette
And without his technical problems he had in the first five races he would have be leading the championship big time (again), he's only mistake was his crash @Baklu whilst qualy 3!
Regarding the Barcelona crash it was 50:50, in Austria it was so obvious what Rosberg had in his mind (but gladly failed) and racing commision was paying him back...
I'm totaly with you regarding LHs behaviour (in his private life) but at least he's the ONLY F1 driver who's working & partying hard! 
He's the black version of James Hunt
