Well , he does have a point , doesn't he ?
Hamilton could have just said that his team mate must have been hungrier those last races .
That would have let us speculate that he was a little more relaxed , having won the title .
But , talking about the set-up change smelled a little like that infamous set-up tweet from long ago .
And , now , everyone and their uncle knows not only that he's struggling with it , but that they aren't going to change it back , so he'll keep on struggling to get back on par .
Likely significant in this , also , is that he just highlighted some development that may not have been obvious to his competitors from other teams .
He told all that this was the new direction they would be going , and even highlighted that he had taken off one part to try to seek parity , and that it hadn't worked .
I'm not sure that the part of which he spoke was visible or not , but that's a little more info given out that should be kept internal .
And , Jacques is also not wrong that he's just let on that the car suited him before the change and not Nico , and that this is perhaps why two drivers only a tenth or so apart in most qualifiers have swapped places for the last six .
With it won , it seemed all and sundry were willing to let him say he was slacking a bit .
Letting that fly would also have diminished Nico's achievements at the same time , but it doesn't look like he maybe looked that far ahead .
we see this more and more and I think it's utterly stupid. One small mistake that would normally make you lose a little like a bend wheel time will now completely ruin your rally because you can't...
