which makes it even harder to understand how they can consider removing it
I believe the decision to stop hosting it is currently being made from the Brazilian government, not the FIA. Which is a bit more understandable. Still seriously hope they come to an agreement though. I'd say it's currently the most consistent track in terms of providing great races.
I'm also struggling to understand how people keep singling out drivers as being better or worse as handling the press.
Agreed, I find myself dipping between "Hamilton has shown some serious class this week in terms of discussing x, y & z" and "Oh, Hamilton's back to being a whiny little shit again". Also, it can differ hugely depending on the driver's current season. I loved watching Vettel stir shit up in the press conferences during the Hamilton/Rosberg years, but yet he's a very different person when he's overdriving and messing up his own championship chances.
On that 6th title, it was either a master class of driving by one of the best modern day drivers the world has seen or a inevitable outcome for an average driver in a really quick car who has no right to call him self British as he moved the Monaco with all the other past Brits...
I think there are portions of both of those that have some merit! He's undoubtedly up there with the greats (as are Alonso & Vettel IMO), but he's also been driving a car which is even more dominant than the early-2000s Ferrari. While people may be quick to dispute me having Vettel as one of the all-time greats, he did win his championships in years where multiple teams had a chance.

Caught up on Interlagos last night, rarely fails to deliver which makes it even harder to understand how they can consider removing it.
I'm also struggling to understand how people keep singling out drivers as being better or worse as handling the press. I can't recall a driver at the top that hasn't acted like a massive bell-end when things have gone wrong for them. Lewis was all over the place in interviews after his first two seasons at Mclaren and i think the public still haven't moved on from that. Seb can throw his toys out of the pram in the moment but is still someone i like listening to when the dust settles. Charles and Max are handling things well but there's already people calling them either cool as fuck or spoilt brats, pretty sure they're both at times.
