One thing that's clear about Seb, is that once he was in a less good car (and that includes his last couple of years at Red Bull), he was basically found out - namely that he's good, but not *that* good. IMHO the four world titles really do flatter him massively.
It's easy to be out in front in a really good car without competition from your team mate (for whatever reason), but in a less good car, a truly excellent driver can still pull the rabbits out of the hat as it were.
Sometimes a new environment gives a driver the mental boost he needs to get back to the right level of performance, but so far, with Seb, it's same old, same old... With all that whingeing and moaning, he's definitely channeling his inner Nigel Mansell. Hell, he even runs the same race number...
