Hmm dear, it really does seem with his idolism of Senna that he's inherited the "God given
right to win".
It's a shame, he's such a brilliant racing driver but he does make himself difficult to like when he comes out with such cringeworthy stuff as this. He doesn't even really need to resort to crap like this, if we're honest he's had Rosberg pretty much comprehensively beaten so far this year. But like Gav infers his own attitude risks being his own undoing because his 'hissy fit' temperament really blunts his overall edge.
There's a reason that Button out scored him during their time together at McLaren, it's because half the time he was off sulking about Nicole or the rare occasion when Button was actually genuinely quicker.
And if he really refused to attend the team briefing yesterday, then more fool him because Rosberg is smart and will take anything learnt from that debrief and use it today in the race.
I do believe this is a pivotal moment in this season, and perhaps Hamilton's future. At the moment it's got the potential go either way;
a) He's either going to make a peach of a start, or otherwise drive around Rosberg at some point and take a sublime victory, after which confidence will simply build and build
(dare I say the arrogance too)b) Rosberg gets off into the lead, and finds a comfort zone. Hamilton gettys ratty when he finds that today he's not quick enough to close the gap, and comes further undone when the 'rub of the green' does not go his way and tries a desperate maneuver that doesn't work and ends up with a penalty on his license of which he'll dwell upon and let adversely affect his following performances.
It is a shame that the three best drivers in F1 today
(Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton) have all developed a little bit of an attitude, it's partly why it's refreshing to see Ricciardo take the fight to Vettel, and it'd definitely be nice to see a new world champion this year. Which is why, I hope Rosberg takes it because he's the only one with anyway near a realistic chance of doing it this year.
I don't dislike either Hamilton, Vettel, or Alonso, I respect them all as racing drivers, but they do have the knack of being really annoying at times, but it could be worse... could be Maldonaldo with the knack of being really annoying
all of the time.
