Donkey of the Race - Spa

[henners88]

Henners, as a driver he is one of the few of the current crop that could be called "brilliant" without resorting to hyperbole. It's the attendant mellodrama and pouting that seems to follow him wherever he goes that has worn me out. It's old and predictable and when someone calls his bluff it always ends in duck-lips and strained relations.

He is sulky, but I feel in many situations he has been more reserved than I would have been. I just don't know how to discuss amongst people who constantly bash the bloke, he lost out in Spa through no fault of his own and had a few strong words after wards, so what? He attracts drama I suppose because he's a hard racer and isn't afraid to go wheel to wheel with a team mate. You need respect in that situation and we know both these guys like to push the limits and each other off track, but they don't expect to take each other out.

He's also not the only sulky driver. Look at Vettel, Rosberg, Alonso, they have all whinged in the press but don't get the kick back Hamilton seems to. It makes discussing things amongst fans very difficult. A brilliant driver that you can't wait to leave F1? That doesn't sound good for the sports appeal to me.
