How can someone with 10 wins lose the Championship? Same way that Jeff Gordon cannot win the Championship with the best record. Same way Keke Rosberg can win the Championship with only one win. Same way Joni Wiman can win the Championship with NO wins.

Not entirely true. Hamilton would already be champion going into the last race under the “11 best results" rule that cost Prost the title to Senna. Hamilton would have 10 wins and a second place as his best 11 results. So even if Rosberg won the last race he would not have more wins and seconds than Hamilton.
