Thanks Bagwan. I can't think of more relevant stats though.
Edit:. I will say though. You'd have to question the merit of Hamilton's wins in Canada and Mexico. What other factors that contributed to it.
If somebody other than Hamilton bumped Rosberg off in Canada. MB would've made a complaint of some kind a asked for a penalty. No doubt one would've been issued had that been the case. But if that happened, it would've denied MB an opportunity for a win and Constructor's championship points. So they weren't going to complain about it despite it being to the detriment of Rosberg.
Rosberg should've finished 3rd under the circumstances. Hamilton, 4th at best. A points swing of 15pts towards Rosberg.
Then in Mexico. No doubt Hamilton and Verstappen should've gotten penalties. But because the net result was the same (Hamilton 1st, Rosberg 2nd, Verstappen 3rd), no penalties were enforced.
No action caused controversy at the time. But Rosberg had big points lead. So I think that contributed to it. Had it been a tighter points battle. A penalty would have to be given to Hamilton, and Rosberg left to win the race.
yada yada yada
We get it, you don't like Hamilton!

R1 is also a Yamaha which probably isn't a great Rally2.
As an extra question, what happens to WRC2 in 2027? Maybe Rally3 becomes WRC2, which will confuse a few people, like when WRC3 was Rally2.
I'm thinking WRC27 wouldn't be production cars whereas Rally2 are derived from Group A homologated cars. Of course this would only work for a few years if Rally2 is to be replaced also by WRC27.
