You guys that try to diminish his ability and accomplishments by demeaning his personality or "sportsmanship" are sort of ridiculous.
Ponder for a moment the exceptional people you have been exposed to in your lives. Whether you are talking about a talented football player, a great surgeon, grand champion chess player, master debater, whatever, if they are good, it is not by mistake. People that excel have a drive to be the best. They come across as arrogant, expect others to give way, defer to their superiority if you will. A champion is there to win, expects to win and often will do whatever it takes to do so.
Very rare to see anyone who is truly great at anything to be well rounded. If your life is truly consumed by something, you don't have room for much else until you move on to the next part of your life.
That said, a great driver is a a great driver, whether he is pedaling a 600 cc Fiat around a track, or running an F1 car that costs more than most make in a lifetime. I think if you took any of the great drivers of yore, stuck them in a modern F1 car and give them time to train, they are competitive. Greatest ever? Good luck on your debate, you will get no resolution
