You said yourself that such behaviour would be "fascinating", yet refuse to accept the possibility of far more likely events. Very irrational.
You make things up on a discussion forum. And then accuse others of being irrational.
Okay.

Just look at how he nearly drove Coulthard off the track at Monza when he had a clear run on him.
Your actual words. What you claimed to happen - didn’t.
You made it up.

His racing idol as a child was Senna, that should tell you something.
Hamilton is widely regarded as one of the fairest drivers on track throughout his career.He's absolutely nothing like Senna. Or Schumacher.
Well, to educate you a bit, he's considered one of the cleanest drivers on track, and amongst multiple champions particularly clean.
I hate the hybrid engines too.
I didn't watch the races, but I read of numerous incidents regarding Hamilton in 2021.
Can you possibly link to these numerous "incidents" in 2021?

But what about the incident with Alonso in Hungary qualifying? The media fully blamed Alonso for it, and of course as an 11 year old I believed them. Then years later I found out that it was Hamilton who broke the internal team agreement to give Alonso the optimum qualifying lap (it alternated race-by-race), but the media never said a word about it! Alonso was simply portrayed as the villain for the rest of the season.
Marc Priestley did a YouTube video explaining the circumstances in detail.

Alonso was racing against Mentor Ron, Protégé Lewis, and lobbyist Anthony.
Poor Fred had no chance but at least Uncle Ron got the Santander cash for the Spanish bloke
As usual, incorrect, Sparta.
Hamilton was better than Alonso, and nobody had expected that. (Aside from Hamilton and possibly his dad).
It was inconvenient for McLaren that Hamilton was pretty much instantly the class of the field. If he'd been 'merely' an excellent backup to Alosno, as everyone had expected from him in his rookie season, they'd have had far fewer headaches. The situation was unprecedented and remains so.

Hamilton started that by going against the team agreement for who went out first. One of the few genuinely dodgy things he's done in a very long career.Alonso escalated things by blocking Hamilton and then took it into the stratosphere by blackmailing the team.
Alonso was under immense pressure with Hamilton being at least as quick and he wanted/requested the team to force Hamilton to act as a number two driver. The team declined and Alonso lost his marbles.

Alonso didn't blackmail anyone. He had a blow-out argument with RD and threatened to tell all, but apologised 10 minutes later. Hamilton actually ratted out his own team-mate,Alonso, to the stewards, RD actually ratted out the whole team to Mosely, but it was all johnny foreigner's fault. Whodathunkit.Alonso escalated things by blocking Hamilton and then took it into the stratosphere by blackmailing the team.
