Looks like Hamilton might be a little bit afraid of new Merc teammate Bottas. I do seem to recall however how Lewis was all for sharing data with Alonso at McLaren. I guess getting beat by the likes of Rosberg and Button will do that to a guy! I also seem to recall Lewis having access to Button's data and then tweeting it to the world for all to see. Quite the hypocrite.

Hamilton wants no more data sharing with team mates

Lewis Hamilton wants Mercedes to stop his team mates from being able to study his data.
Hamilton, who has a new team mate for 2017 following world champion Nico Rosberg’s retirement, said the free availability of data between drivers makes it easy for them to identify and “copy” each others’ secrets.
“I go out, do my laps, do all my homework, the other guy can see everything,” said Hamilton in an interview for a Mercedes sponsor. “I don’t think they should do.”
"“I have asked my team. I don’t want to see my team mate’s… I don’t feel it’s fair that he brings his A-game and I should be able to study his A-game on a computer.”
“For example when we’re driving we’re picking out braking points, bumps, tyre rubber marks on the track, all these different things to help get you through the corner quickest. And the other driver probably naturally may be able to do more or less than you are.”
“But because of this data they can just copy you. ‘Oh he’s braking five metres later there, I’ll go out and I’ll try braking five metres later’. So that’s what I really dislike. Because it enables them to get closer. That’s what I loved about go-karting, you weren’t able to do that and that was where just your raw talent is able to shine.”"
