Lots of people just don t like him.

When he was at Williams it was all go George, good lad George, Mr Sunday yay!

Then he beats St Lewis in his own team and all of a sudden he can t do anything right.

Funny that.

I'd liked George at Williams and was pleased he beat Lewis as I've never liked Lewis. However George has become the biggest whinger ever since he joined Mercedes. I saw a video on YT the other day, it was 6 mins of George crashing into people or pushing them off and then blaming the other person.

On the subject of throwing the head restraint, I don't have an issue with it. I notice there's not a thread regarding Hadjar at Miami.

I do not recall Seb having a preponderance to exceeding the boundaries of reasonably expected sportsmanlike behavior, as Senna, then Schumi, and ultimately Verstappen would constantly do.

And, amplified in that order.

But, at times, Seb was a complete dick...just not sure he was eager to be as dark-minded!

There was the time in 2012? when he pushed Alonso onto the grass at 180mph at the Italian GP. Drive through penalty
I remember Vettel being ordered over the radio to "take a deep breath and calm down". After Webber caught him out behind a safety car so Vettel go a penalty

Then the time he rammed Lewis of course

But no, nothing like the others mentioned, especially Verstappen, in pushing people off circuit. The most rules introduced because of one persons driving standards?

A certain Dutch driver would have had the forethought to take out his rival

Not to mention a certain German driver, and a certain Brazilian driver

Not the same in the least.

As F1 driver strops go, it was pretty restrained imo. He didn't get run over by a medical car a la Taki Inoue nor did he immediately leave the circuit and head home or head to his yacht and ignore the team and any PR stuff.

He had to be peed off after that and no-one can begrudge him that one little bit.

I can't say I'm a great fan of his, I do find that he comes across as smug and arrogant, but he's an F1 driver, so that kind of goes with the territory. If I got paid millions to hoof around in the fastest cars on the planet and live that sort of life style, then I'd be smugger than a smug thing.
