The comment implies that he already believes himself to be the best driver of his generation. I admit he's a fantastic driver, but if you look at some of the things he has said, you will see he really is arrogant. If anyone can lay claim to be the best of the current generation, it is Alonso (and I'm a Vettel fan) but Fernando at least has the sense to give due credit to his rivals and actually comes across as a nice guy most of the time... Lewis just seems to have an attitude that he's the best, he's special and that it's not Formula one, but the lewis hamilton show. He also used to use every little excuse to compare himself to Ayrton Senna.
Mark Webber doesn't compare himself to anyone. He's very blunt in the sense that he wants to be world champion, but he doesn't underestimate his rivals. He generally makes no stupid claims to the media and comes across as a genuinely nice guy. As does Button.
Vettel clearly has his eye's on Schumi's records, but seems very humble. Hamilton just has this attitude that I don't like. Maybe some don't see it, but he has an attitude like he's the golden child.
Look at the first lap in valencia. He gave Vettel a choice. Hit the wall or hit lewis's car. Vettel chose the latter and lewis was on the radio immediately "Vettel hit me". Seemed to me that he was trying for a penalty. He reminds me of the footballers who roll around on the ground at the slightest bit of contact, but when the referee says "No foul" they're back up immediately as if nothing happened. And the whole "Liegate" thing... He's a dirty sportsman and will result to cheating to get his way. But some people think he's an angel. I can't understand it.
He doesn’t imply he is the best driver of his generation. He just says for a driver to prove he is the best, he has to win multiple world championships and also continue winning. He already said one or two titles is not enough and as he only has one then he doesn’t think he will be perceived as one of the greatest of his generation unless he improves.
I like the way you are a Vettel fan and then say Alonso has the sense to credit to his rivals. Are you serious, as I remember Vettel mentioning that Alonso not congratulating him on his world championship win until like two weeks later while praising people like Lewis on doing so straight away.
Hamilton is a fan of Senna like most drivers on the grid and has a similar style but I remember him saying he would lose against Senna by a lot if they did race as he sees him as his idol.
It is funny you hate a driver for claiming him to be arrogant and then say the driver who you are a fan of is humble. Did I miss something with the constant finger waving saying he is number 1 if he wins or gets on pole? Other drivers like Lewis just gives the thumbs up if they finish first, when Vettel finishes first, he makes sure others know it.
About him being a dirty sportsmen I don’t think so, the lie-gate thing was just stupidity at its best especially from Dave Ryan and also from Lewis for going along with what his sporting director said for him to say. The funny thing is Lewis hates people who are dishonest and must hate himself for being naïve to go along with what his teams sporting director had to say. Facepalm moment I must say.
It is not like he is only the only driver to have controversy. Fernando Alonso who you highly regard has incidents such as “spygate” trying to blackmail his team to get number 1 status, “crashgate” where his team mate crashed for him to get a chance to get a win and the recent team orders uproar.
I personally don’t hate any of the drivers on the grid but as you mentioned you hate Hamilton and are trying to justify it by saying it is due to him being arrogant. From what I see he is no arrogant than any other F1 driver and certainly in my opinion not the most arrogant driver on the grid. Your football analogy of Lewis I think is far from the actual case with Lewis, he just gets on with things like in Singapore when Webber decided it was best to brake on the limit as usual hoping that Hamilton pulled over and gave way. I like that Lewis shows his emotions and then also not finger point after that incident blaming it all on Webber unlike Vettel on Webber who suggested he was crazy. Webber was a bit clumsy and lucky to get away with it in my opinion in Singapore.
You might not understand why people like him but for many he comes as a down to earth and friendly person outside the track and on it he is a true racer with also all his racing emotions on display. I personally don’t get the myth that Hamilton is accident prone, if you look at DNF’s then I’m sure he has had like a maximum of like 2 a season and if someone did the stats I would expect him to be low down on the list of DNF’s due to driver error. Also his ability to preserve tyres is as good as Jensons if not much better as he maximises his tyres unlike Jenson last year leaving a lot of life in them when he pits and also driving slower to preserve them. My predictions for the pairing is for Lewis to be more ahead in points this season over Jenson than last season. I expect Jenson Button to be very strong in Australia though and he might have the beating of Lewis on this track as he usually goes well here.
