It was interesting to read about Villeneuves comments about Hamilton's unhappiness regarding his lost of form following the Singapore GP.

It would seem the Canadian would rather the triple world champion should keep quiet about his problems and count his blessing. A clear indication that the 1997 champion sees the 2015 driver championship as a privilege rather than an achievement from pure graft. I suppose the 2015 season concluded too easily for some, but l fail to see how any racer would be contented with a lack of form over some 3 or more consecutive races.
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 .
