Tendency to throw toys out of pram (for example, tweeting confidential set-up information because he was a bit miffed) Ability to say truly stupid things (for example, the Rosberg faux class war) Enduring but misguided belief that he is a bad boy gangsta
Great driver. Bit of a plonker.
All valid points, and as you say, a bit of a plonker - only at times, though IMO, and not really any worse than any of the others at the top.
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.
