"I've known Lewis since he was 11 years old. He's someone who has grown up in the team, he's grown up in the glow of public criticism. Some things he has learned, some things he is yet to learn."

Sounds good on the surface , but what does Lewis hear when this is all said , in front of the world ?
He hears "We made you ." .
He hears "You're still a kid ." .
He hears "You can't handle all this and you need us more than we need you ."

"He is a deep and soulful individual, but he is going through a difficult time. I predict he is going to bounce back and we will see a different Lewis Hamilton in a few days' time in Italy,"

Then he hears that , after one bad qualifying , he's in a "difficult time" .
He hears that he's "deep and soulful" , and surely he'll think about how strong his position at the bargaining table actually is .

Then he hears that great "go Lewis" cheer at the end , to bolster him and prove they are looking out for the lad .


This all fits perfectly with contract talks with a big head .


I hope my writing my thoughts here doesn't screw up the plan .
