I don't dislike any of the drivers really, some of them have had crap personalities or abilities but they are better drivers than the rest of us for the most part. But I simply don't idolize any of them for their accomplishments either. None of them did it in crap cars, and IMHO often the drivers with great track records against the other top drivers in top cars can easily make a bad move and end up with lesser records in a hurry.

If you want to build shrines to drivers go ahead, but don't think I'm going to do the same.

And if you actually paid attention, I mention Alonso right after Lewis. The names mean nothing other than some press coverage if they aren't driving well. Their value to the top teams will have a lot more to do with their driving then it will with press coverage.
Recognizing and appreciating talent is not idolizing as you put it. If you are able to properly appreciate talent without reservation, you would see that.
