+1... Nobody can deny he is a great qualifier and a pretty good driver. But I'm no fan of the way he carries himself, whines, looks for excuses (remember when he tweeted team telemetry?), but I will grant you Vettel does the same and has a bit of a schumacher streak in him...
I can't believe Lewis is still throwing barbs at Rosberg a year later, while ROS has been quiet and just congratulated him. It is also true he's never been in a bad car, he's always had a machine he could win with. To me he and Vettel are about equal #2 because both got their WCs in machines that were way above the field...
I have more respect for a driver like Kimi in his prime (no politics) or Alonso (who also *****es like a prima donna) because he won 2 in a Renault (which wasn't bad but also not a top team) and almost won a couple in a Ferrari that was a bit of a dog. I liked Weber too, same reasons "not bad for a #2" ;-)
Really looking forward to the new kids taking over, Max and Esteban in particular, Leclerc too if he makes it to Sauber. That kid is special... Then again I might not watch as assiduously next year if the Halo is as ugly as I fear...
