Formula-1 2017...!!

Cyber370 · 03-24-2017, 05:56 AM

Lewis is the reason I almost stopped watching Formula 1. I won't argue the fact that he's talented. It's just his silver-spoon-fed attitude that ruins it for me. That was especially evident during the 2016 season. So happy to see his team mate take the championship away from him. Nico Rosberg worked his *** off to get it despite Lewis' tantrums.

I know what you're saying. He may have an an attitude, but he's definitely not silver spoon fed. He grew up near me, in Stevenage and went to an average local school. His family were far from wealthy, but his dad was devoted to helping him succeed. He was just lucky to be spotted by Ron Dennis at a very young age.

His obsession with winning is a double-edged sword. It makes him the champion he is and it also makes him the less pleasant character he is when he fails to win.

On balance I really admire him - a self-made champion who didn't have a rich daddy. I'd love him to win a 4th championship because I love the way he drives.

Saw him at Silverstone the day Pirelli gave him that almighty blowout a few years ago. Man did he show some talent & balls to drive though the pack and end up 4th, in a race he would have won, but for the dodgy tyres. His genius is undeniable.

Edit - and Rosberg only won last year because Lewis had more technical problems. On a level playing field, Lewis wins every time. I think most of us would have tantrums if our car kept breaking down.

Thanks to TreeSemdyZee for his correction!

I do agree he is bloody fast and talented.

Just his attitude towards other drivers, his teammate and his team, is annoying.

Agreed! He just needs to work on his attitude and suck up the good and the bad. Things cannot always go his way. He just spoils it for everyone else. as stated, he is definitely talented but I wonder what he would do with a slightly inferior car. The mark of a true champion is being able to pull off wins even when your car is not up to par or at least the same as everyone one else's. I'd love to seem him in an Indycar race. Now that would be a show!

Quite a few tantrums both ways honestly. I was pretty sick of seeing all of the pissing matches that they were having.
