I'm by no means a Hamilton fan but I agree, he's nowhere near as bad as Schumi (although Schumi was apparently the loveliest guy off-track). To be honest I think he's improved a lot throughout his Merc years, as a younger driver I thought he was an absolute diva who was a shit sport, he'd often sulk if things didn't go his way and there was that weird period where he kept crashing into Massa for no reason. Nowadays he's much fairer and more self-aware out of the car which I have to respect.
I also think that (some slightly sketchy Instagram posts aside) he's doing a really good job of using his platform to spread awareness of racial inequality, particularly in F1 which is a ridiculously white sport.

Hamilton has such a compelling story, dad working two jobs to pay for go karting, appearing on blue peter racing a radio controlled car. Then you compare that to the sliver spoon racers like rosberg....
Yeah he did some dumb stuff in early days of racing but nothing worse than Max for instance. I don’t think he’s deliberately driving his car into anybody like Schumacher or Vettel. Schumacher’s shitty sportsmanship/ homicidal driving seams to have been erased from history since his accident.
I don’t think its unreasonable to acknowledged that a good proportion of the I don’t like Hamilton thing comes down to racism. Not that I’m accusing anybody on here of that.
