Team boss Mercedes is after losing in the final race of last season in Abu Dhabi went through an emotional slide, which we were able to see on the scene and mostly read - and still read - after the race, while Hamilton kept silent and still does.

Undoubtedly, defeat is against Max Verstappn severely affected Hamilton, but he was Wolff one that is often in the media dramatizedthat he can’t live with that result. Villeneuve thinks it is Hamilton's silence can be related to the behavior of his boss. The Canadian says yes Hamilton he always takes care of his own image and wants to prevent it from being destroyed Wolff's eccentric behavior. “I interpret his silence as a way to distance himself from Wolff,”So Villeneuve in a conversation for Journal of Sport.

According to the 1997 world champion, Hamilton could be silenced because he wants to distance himself from Wolff and his behavior in public after the end of the season.

"You may end up losing in style, but instead, Toto behaves like someone who loses monopolies in a game and then turns the game board over in anger. In my opinion, he has damaged his reputation by doing so. Hamilton is wise here as he thinks about his future,”Adds the world champion of the year 1997, who believes the British racer would like to keep his image for eventual moving to the US and perhaps even for a career in Hollywood.

If Villeneuve's theory were to hold, then Hamilton should not return to Mercedes and Toto Wolff, who could damage his reputation again this year in a fit of rage, even if the FIA ​​accedes to his wish or demand concrete results of the investigation.

Here in the opinion Villeneuve however, a dilemma arises as to what makes us media and Toto Wolff have been bombarded since the end of last year’s race GP Abu Dhabi. Because in their opinion it will Hamilton returned only if FIA with his investigation showed concrete results. If a Canadian was right to be Hamilton he is ashamed of his boss’s behavior, but would then come back and risk it Austrian at the first opportunity this year jumped out again own skin?
