It's probably the only chance he's got as whenever it matters Hamilton runs rings around him.

Avoiding Stress, at Every Opportunity
Once Hamilton has either adapted to how the car is/will be different to before Singapore, or once they've changed it to how it was, he'll be fine. Surely Mercedes are not going to hang their champion out to dry?

Ironically, I think they'd be delighted to see Nico take the WDC in 2016. Either driver can do it currently, but if Ferrari are closer in 2016 then they might be making a mistake not backing a number 1 driver.
In a perfect world, Lewis to do it in 2016, then move to Ferrari for 2017, come second in the WDC, then take '18 and '19 for Ferrari. Then retire.
Somehow, I think it'll be a lot more random than that though.

It was a bit strange on Sunday was strange as Hamilton was much faster at the end of the 2nd tyre stint than Rosberg, he should have pitted at most 2-3 laps after Rosberg, and then harried Rosberg for the rest of race, either that or Hamilton should have put on the softer tyres on when he did eventually come in. I suspect Merc were happy for a 1-2 and the other two scenarios would have meant the cars went wheel to wheel on the circuit with a strong chance of a retirement for one or both of the cars.
His drop in performance has nothing to do with the car.
Different drivers react differently to; having a car fast enough to win a World Championship, closing in on a World Championship, winning a World Championship, post World Championship, post a second or third World Championship etc.
25 years experience of developing the vehicle performance of F1 cars and as part of this process assessing driver performance variations. Both in racing and testing.
For the sake of clarity, I will modify my statement to, based on my experience, it is extremely unlikely to be anything to do with the car.

I get the impression that Hamilton needs to feel pressure to really perform at his very best. I think that Button was inferring something similar when asked about Alonso and consistency.
I rather suspect he will be fully recharged by a Winter away and with the prospect of having to beat a very good team mate all over again in 2016. And I suspect he will stay at a high level until he has achieved his objective.

So, you employ a couple of top drivers. You tell them there is no priority, just race as long as you don't take each other off the track. But then it gets competitive and neither likes losing........err, right.
