What we want is lewis to be more british...more stiff upper lip, just like graham hill. You never saw him dress or do anything contraversal did you....

Now if only Lewis had the balls to dress like Graham Hill wink

I do find it odd that Lewis seems to polarise opinion so much.

For my 10c, there's only one driver on the grid who thinks he's more important than the sport itself, and it's Seb Vettel. The constant moaning and hand-waving, calling for "Charlie", ordering around his teammates, and hurrying-up the safety car all paint a picture of a man whose ego is vastly overextending itself.

In spite of that, I absolutely respect him as a fantastic driver, and his personality doesn't taint my overall view.
Alonso is adept at making himself centre of attention when the mood suits... but in a very "smart" way...

All awesome drivers, and interesting personalities.

I agree; Vettel is a special kind of 'spoilt' with regard F1. But he gets a pass for some reason. Never the less; great driver.
Vettel, along with Danny R, is one of the guys I most look forward to seeing interviewed. Articulate, funny, usually manages a smile even if losing. An entertaining guy.

In the car, a selfish pig, like all the rest.

What? Vettel can be a huffy little child when he's not doing well. Daniel is great completely agree but wonder if that will change once he gets into a championship fight and the pressure mounts?! Hope he stays the same thiugh

Vettel does have a wicked sense of humour though (for the people who can't speak german, you'll still get the idea) :

I dont think there is anything wrong there is there? It just the Lewis thread - SP was just posting a bit of Lewis content, which I would have otherwise missed.

The fact that Kimi is second proves that Ferrari had the better car today. Yesterday it was Mercedes...so let's see what happens tomorrow. I suspect damage limitation from Mercedes.

If anyone is in front of Hamilton it "proves" as "fact" that they must have a better car! wink
