Just a point to notice, for Hamilton's stop, his new tyres were out of the heating covers for 2 laps as they discussed if he should come in for tyres. When did come in for the pit stop, the tyres had got quite cold to cost him a further net 2 seconds lose of time to Rosberg. His 2.5 sec gap before the pitstop became over 4 seconds.
Hence, so can see why the pitstop was a bother for Hamilton.
