The pilot comes face to reporters, closed face behind his sunglasses hiding the expression in the eyes of Lewis Hamilton. The speech is monorythmique, recited. Expressionless except language elements reflecting a huge disappointment.
On Canal +, a few moments ago, the journalist Laurent Dupin has an interview with 2008 world champion and it appears sensitivity all on edge. Reflecting a very studied posture. 2003 GP of France. Ralf Schumacher dominated the race ahead of teammate Juan Pablo Montoya. Colombia can be world champion that year and the Williams FW25 allows him to aim for victories. An order from the team addressed the German to pass his teammate. He has not been heard. Montoya loses a wildcard for the title and sign a few weeks later for McLaren. The Colombian driver played on the heartstrings of disappointed love Williams to him. 2007, in the heart of summer another war between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton at McLaren is the same trend. The double world champion facing a rookie who is playing him the title of world champion. Throughout the season the effect on Alonso was formidable. Accepting novelty, it is positioned as a natural leader of the team until the Monaco GP that year. Hamilton has become a serious rival. The Spaniard opts sensitivity and to his discomfort. He will leave at the end of the season for Renault.
Do not compare Rosberg, Hamilton Prost-Senna 1989 This has nothing to do. The evolution of the image of the one and the other marked ruptures Grand Prix after Grand Prix. From Imola, French was considered the victim of a Brazilian villain who did not meet an agreement between the two parties. Then over the season Prost became the villain, because his anger is turned into coldness. While anger Senna is transformed into fragility. The image of the sensible driver Senna was born that year. Prost leave McLaren for Ferrari at the end of the year.
Toto Wolff, following the voluntary flight of English media on the debriefing of the Belgian GP, downplayed the interpretation of Lewis Hamilton. But it is in keeping with its image as a wounded man. Worse, rigid posture and snide Nico Rosberg only reinforces the contrast. On the one hand a driver become sensitive and the other rigid machine.
Whistles during the interview after the podium towards Nico Rosberg is the translation of a general feeling of injustice basic Lewis Hamilton. The end of the season will go from bad to worse, especially as the Mercedes AMG F1 entourage has not taken the step of crisis communication and remains evasive about the direction to take. 2003, 2007, and even the behavior of Mark Webber in the years 2010/2011/2012 with Red Bull Racing, are recent examples of reproducing the story of a man wearing the costume of the victim of fate, compared to a teammate who is arrogant and cold face the same adversity.
The moral of the story is that Lewis Hamilton will develop in the image of the driver talent, sensitive with religion as central to his unifying image. With a problem: This posture never announces a happy ending. But separation.
