Ulimately, it really doesn't matter who is faster guys. It matters who wins WC's. FA has shown that he can do it more than KR (so far). FA did this against KR and MS when he was not in a clearly faster car (just equal IMO). KR always seems to have "bad luck" with reliability (even at Ferrari), and had the McLaren team gotten its act together this year and stopped the infighting, they would probably have still beaten KR (either one of them). Plus, FA manages the entire championship well when playing from a lead - ie he takes what points he can and doesn't try to do too much and end up DNF.

FA is a hothead no question. But the english speaking media paints this rosy picture of LH that I don't believe exists because he is viewed as English (though he's really from the caribbean). Same as the way their press treats all cars British vs German, or (OMG) USA. LH is just as much a Prima Dona, and if anything more snake-like than FA, judging on his choice of words and timing of statements etc.
