I’ll go against the grain, he’s probably my least favorite on the grid. He’s no doubt one of the greatest in F1 but it’s his off-track shennigans that rub me wrong. Being vegan and pushing that hard to save animals and the environment, or that we should aggressively look after the environment/climate change all while jet setting around the globe and having made all of his money by driving a race car. Apparently he was considering kneeling for the national anthem when F1 was in Austin back in 2017 but Mercedes told him to reconsider and not involve himself. All of his interviews and responses just seem like canned replies.

Nah, it's not just you. I think he's an aggravating poseur too, and doesn't strike me as worthy of the company of the other legends of the sport.

Well, I don’t follow him outside of the race weekends, so I didn’t know any of that. And F1 does a fantastic job of not allowing bullshite to infiltrate their brand on race weekends.

But as far as how he treats his team and other racers, he’s all class. I know it’s easy to be that way when you have the best of everything and win all the time. Would be interesting to see how he would react to some adversity.
