Of course he wants to change plans but he knows the idiocy he is up against in the directors of the team. He usually has crap form in the spring, and now he is not allowed to pick which races to show it. The team just sucks.
Can you point me to the article where it says he would want to change plans? Coz... I sure haven't found any.
You're just assuming that he didn't get a say in the matter.
Seriously, this is just like last year after P-N with all the "He's in a major conflict with the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" stuff, and his reaction - when learning about it - was basically "I'm what?"
