Hell of a driver, I'll give him that. Very unimpressive in all other areas. I've been watching him for years, he doesn't seem to be maturing outside of an F1 cockpit. Some days, in the cockpit, he's still a petulant kid. He's going to eclipse Schumacher in the record books but he'll never be his equal as a man.
In my youth, F1 driers were clearly men. Now, they are mostly boys. I don't think that's relative to my age, so much as how they act.
I predict I'll miss seeing his next wardrobe choice.

You have to wonder about all of the political baggage. When does Mercedes F1 take a look at his off-script branding? It's one thing to have a nightlife, but he is taking it to an irresponsible level. Does any of this help to sell an AMG coupe? If he were to retire from F1, would he have a career in other fields or other series if he chose? Or would sponsors not play along?
