I'm curious how much Hamilton uses the team radio to sandbag or if he is as upset as he sounds. He is frequently distrusting the team strategy only for it to work out time and again.

Or could it simply be that he wins again and again because he is simply the most gifted driver of this generation and is in the most skilled team? I don't recall the source, Motorsport Magazine, or maybe my Dad, but I heard somewhere that Hamilton can drive fast in any car, regardless of setup and whereas other drivers need a particular setup for them to work at their best.
