I have no idea what your opinion is based on. Details?

Well after his little strop at the last race, he’s got the ass again being quizzed about his move. He’s going to have to grow up a bit to survive the politics in Italy.

If you can find the pre race interview, he gave, before the 2007 Australian Grand Prix when he replied to to question "Don't you feel privileged to be racing with a top team? (McLaren) He replied "At least I won't be racing with the monkeys at the back of the grid".
From then on he has been a nobody in my eyes.

You hold a grudge from something a 21 year old said, in a throwaway fashion before his first ever race in F1, 17 years ago? And nothing he has done or said matters?

Mental.

Genuinely odd behaviour

He can grow up, grow down, grow inwards or grow outwards.

You’ll still hate him.

Don't worry too much about him, I am sure he'll be fine even without your guidance.

None of these modern F1 drivers would be able to make it to F1 in the 70's or 80's, they simply wouldn't be brave enough to take the risk (other than Alonso).

Similarly, none of the F1 drivers would be able to make it to F1 today, not one of them had the physical fitness required. MS was the first driver to really push peak fitness.

Indeed, the current drivers are all serious athletes, crazy fit. It’s not like the old James Hunt story that the team manager and his assistant spent too many Sunday mornings trying to find him, as he’d regularly not stayed in his own room in the team’s hotel on Saturday night!

Was it MS who was the first driver to turn up with a full-time physiotherapist, rather than a personal assistant, at the race weekends? Now every driver has their own physio. Speaking of physios, and as this is the LH thread, has anyone seen or heard anything about Angela Cullen since she left Lewis?

James Hunt took his fitness very seriously, he was always out running (in plimsolls or flip flops) and IIRC was reckoned to be one of the fittest leanest drivers on the grid.

Of course he did a lot of, erm, not-sleeping with women, too, which maybe helped his fitness in part as well

Chuck some tricky conditions in where the driver matters more and you see the result. Lewis front row.

I’m sure he’ll be fine without your defence. The point is, he’s rattled, and needs thicker skin imo.

Any links to these clips which show him being rattled or are you making stuff up?

Go look yourself.

Maybe you're right, he doesn't have the kind of emotional resilience that you insist on displaying on PH

I love these posts on PH

“Prove it”

“Go look yourself”

Pretty good sprint performance you’d have to say. Maximum result given that Max finished the race.

Yep, his race was with Norris and he got him off the line. That Red Bull is totally unstoppable at the moment and was always likely to breeze past.

Got the maximum he could expect with the car he has.

Yeah, That's how grudges work.

Also how a bit mental works

Isn't it just, the bitterness and contempt people have for others they have never met or will meet, is impressive.

Seems he really gets under the skin of some people around here.
