Self belief is something every driver should have and how that channel that is their choice. Vettel is openly cocky, and even more so than Hamilton, but often escapes criticism, largely because he is yet to prove himself as championship material IMO. I like a driver who is arrogant in his own ability and who is willing to take risks on track, much like the two mentioned. Hamilton is not yet a complete package, but he's definately the most exciting thing to hit F1 in the last decade IMO.

This is my opinion at the end of the day, and you can try to belittle me and direct digs at me all you like, but its not going to change my opinion. Notice how I don't insult you with any of my responses. I also don't see anything impartial about your above post at all, and to have such a strong opinion of a driver must mean you have a favourite somewhere down the line.

Don't forget to pass on your gratitude henners - he called you brilliant! :D

Did you have a pen ready for the liason, or did he have one?

Unlike your friend Sato.......

I dread to think what would happen if Hamilton ever steps out of his car and punches a marshall

Or remonstrates with an official during a race in the middle of the pitlane before abandoning his car and storming off

Yeah I mean quite aside from winning GP2, coming second in his rookie F1season and then winning it the following year. Can't imagine why he wouldn't feel a little bit like he has talented compared to others who don't even have the same credentials in lower formulae.

You've not likely met Charles Manson , but you likely have an opinion on whether you'd have him over for tea .

Belief in oneself does not make one arrogant .

I guess , in the end , we will have to wait and see how the inter-team battle works out here , but I expect things to deteriorate further .

Have you ever met Dave Ryan ?
