2 things:
-It's the first time he's screwed up, after a year of being of barely putting a foot wrong when everyone expected him to fail due to his age
-His dad is a known dickhead

Those 2 factors makes it much more fun to go after him, whereas had it been Sainz doing it, it wouldn't have gotten anywhere this much attention.

Like I said, he's young. Considering how much Hamilton whines (and I've been rooting for Lewis since he entered F1), Max having a hissy fit in frustration is just one of those things in life he'll have to learn how to work through.

So at what age will we stop excusing whiny hissy fit tantrums? I guess retirement age cause Fernando and Super Seb were doing it last year or the year before.

Well Alonso managed it from beyond the grave, because he died and was rebuilt into an indistructable Spanish automaton.

Also Max's biggest race mistake was at Monaco and pretty much exactly what happened to Alonso w/ Gutierrez.

We're lucky, just imagine the hype if he were British.

The key difference is where Max bitched and moaned about how Grossjean brake checked him, Alonso looked at a horrific crash that could've seriously injured him and said it was a racing incident. Nothing is ever Max's fault, it's always another driver, the team, the air pressure that day, etc.

Methinks the bitchboy doth protest too much.

Pastor honestly never blamed anyone for his crashes, he's a good lad who means well.

Even in cases where he got taken out like in Australia or Abu Babby last year, he never blamed anyone.

Man that wiki entry is pretty bare. It's kind of sad.

If I could find that article where she talked about how she got embarrassed when Ayrton Senna turned up unexpectedly at her dad's place and he saw her in her pajamas I'd edit it in, but I can't remember where I read it. :saddowns:

Weird you say that, because I saw on Sky a Legends of F1 episode a couple of days ago, which was about Senna, and Claire Williams mentions that incident. She said she was mortified as a 15 year old in just her pyjamas who had a huge crush on him for him to see her like that.

My Lewis' reaction times have tanked theory may not be so wild after all.

Toto: “Lewis was a couple of metres worse than Nico's from what we measured and I'm not quite sure whether it was a hardware or software problem or just reaction.”

Did Lewis insist on wearing those stupid glasses in the car? That'd explain it.

Whining on the radio is one thing, like someone else mentioned, Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel all do that. The point was Max was crying about not being given a free pass on his teammate. Say what you like, I don't think I've ever heard Lewis crying that he has to overtake someone.

He was definitely not buttcaremad at all telling everyone to shut up and calling everyone an idiot every five seconds. He was insanely calm.
