Really ? I thought he came across as a petulant, entitled little sh1t......which has been my take on him from the get go.
Maybe he'll mature one day.....
In F1 that could be if he survives that long, it's not meant to be a demolition derby!
..............but as someone who's followed motor racing for most of 40 years....and grew up listening to my Dad tell stories of watching the likes of Jim Clark, Jack Brabham, Graeme Hill, Bruce McLaren etc. racing around country roads in Northern Tassie.......the current f1 drivers for the most part leave me completely cold.
Maybe it's generational thing....but most of them just have no sort of engaging personality whatsoever. Riccardo excepted.
It's not generational, F1 teams learn little from blokes like Verstappen, Hamilton and Vettel, they are technical leeches and breakers. The guys doing the grunt work, the ones taking the team forward are guys like Alonso, Raikonnen and Ricciardo. They are the precision drivers of the sport, the ones the engineers turn to when they want reliable data and diagnosis.
