F1 fan
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.
I completely agree with most of your post.
JB and mark webber seem like legit nice guys.
Lewis, while I don't hate as much as you do, defiently has some narcissism problems.
I watched his interview on top gear recently, and one thing that I thought was interesting was he said as they were talking, something along the lines of
"Haha. My dad seriously thinks he is a better driver than me"
While I understand this is a joke, it still I think sums up Lewis Hamilton.
Nice guy, but dirty driver, and a little too self-centered.
Vettel. I haven't made up my mind about him yet. Either he is just a little immature, and he will get better in a few years, or he will turn out like Lewis Hamilton.
Where I disagree with you though, is Fernanado Alonso.
He is EASILY the worst of them all.
He has a bad attitude, he is egotistic, and a very dirty driver. Seems like a major douchbag.
