Fact is Lewis is great in those conditions. He is also great on the brakes - late breaking and maintaining control under heavy breaking.

Agreed, but I don't like hearing how great he is from HIM!!!!


(But IF he is so great, why wouldn't he have time to tuck in behind Kimi through the chicane and make a better move later? Answer - his GREAT choice was to cut the chicane because it was easier!)

true.. + I never got it how people can have an opinion about someone..not knowing them personaly...I am involved in the modeling world...and believe me there's a big difference between the pics you see in magazines and the person/model in normal life..just to give a sample...

Maybe lewis is arrogant..maybe he isn't..i would only be able to tell if I had to do with him personaly and on a regular base...andddddd I am a fan of him because of what he does on the racertracks....Not so much for what he says...

Does the same go for Alonso?

Forgive me, but I'm not sure how you can protect a position but not be in front, so your claim doesn't appear valid itself.

If thats your point of view, was it wrong to penalise Hamilton in France 2008 for cutting a chicane. He was more than infront of the Torro Rosso at the time, but they penalised him on condition they thought he saved a place by doing so.

I wonder why people have so much of a problem with that ? if he says about himself he's great and he shows it on the racetrack...what's wrong with that ? I would maybe agree with you if he said it and never finished in the points..and even than...I wouldn't care anyway....each one has his own personality....

+ I always heard a "champion" has to be some kind of an "asshole" anyway ! in any sports !

Good, It's nice to find someone who is consistent in their opinions.

(p.s. How about Ide?) ;)
