Why does he need this? Does he want the team to constantly tell him he's great? I like Lewis as a racer, think he's great for the sport but hope he's not turning into a Montoya? A winey bitch.

A winey bitch? Yep!
I can't seem to access that page but have read his weekly column and the response from Toto.
I took it to mean that Lewis feels he needs to up his game. He's coming to terms with brakes that handle differently and wants to do better for the team.
Can't see that as whining???

yes its whining. Most F1 drivers are but he's a pass master 1st, whiney bitch second.
Ok, if that's your opinion then fine. Personally, there was a lot if interesting snippets in Toto and Lewis's articles such as the brake insight and that Rosberg has really upped his performance this year.
If all you see is whiney bitch then great :rolleyes:
He couldn't do crap in the fastest car last season, who would think he'd do any better this season with the fastest car?
It really is quite hard to "do crap" in the fastest car when it breaks down. Or being taken out by Madonado, Crasjean and Hulk.Quote:

You don't watch F1 too often, do you? While I agree that the McLaren was the best car for a major part of last season, Lewis lost a huge amount of points because the McLaren was not a very reliable car. In these days of ultra-reliability that's the worst thing that can happen. Then they had several pit-stop blunders, which cost positions, too. Add to that the two races when he was nerfed off by Maldonado and Grosjean. Theoretically Lewis should have had the WDC in the bag by Suzuka last year, but mainly due to his teams ineptitude he wasn't even in contention. That surely played a role in his decision to switch, too.Quote:

Again, why would any moron actually care whether a driver is whiny, arrogant, stupid, rude, or whatever. As Valentino Rossi once said, "These are the races", you're here to watch what they do best: race. If you want personal goss, go read a women's magazine.
Also, 99.99% of the time the personality of the person who makes these comments is far s**tter than that of their subject.
I certainly don't want to imagine a life where you get a darn mic shoved under your nose everywhere you go and afterwards everybody thinks he's Sigmund Freud and analyzes every word you say. Sure the millions of bucks make up for it to a degree, but sometimes a simple man's life is exactly that - a lot more simple :D
