The fact he had to slow down in the last race to fall back with Nico and was 0.5secs a lap faster in Brazil suggests he too would have been a worthy champion. I think over the course of the season he performed better.

Well, you haven't seen any evidence of his track performance being compromised because you only watched one third (according to yourself) of the season. Go back and watch the earlier races, where he almost consistently turns a pole into a third, fourth of fifth after the first lap because he hasn't figured out how to get his car off the line. Half way through the season he finally put in the work to figure it out. Then, as you say, in the latter part of the season Nico can't keep up with him. If he put in the work earlier, he could've won the WDC.
