I'm never quite sure what people are talking about when they criticise Hamilton. What does he do that is so awful?
As far as I see it, off the track, he seems to spend his time with an attractive partner, other successful sportsmen and entertainers but generally not doing anything too note-worthy, which seems the same as most racing drivers past and present.
In the sport, he seems to be one of the best drivers, and yet always seems to thank the team and acknowledge the hard work by the engineers.
He's had his share of bad luck, and seems to get miserable about it, but still puts in good performances, doesn't do anything too dangerous on the track, and gets results.
I am a fan, but I'd like to think I'm not blinkered too badly, and I'd honest welcome any pointers on where my views are misguided.
