Tbh I hated them and their better-than-thou attitude to corporate culture, self-improvement, blame-free, blah blah blah, all while they were the dominant team. Then in 2022 they don't even drop down the pecking order that far, and it's like every man for themselves like they're all Chicken fucking Little while Lewis is moaning about how undriveable the second or third fastest car on the grid is.
Totally agree, gracious in defeat only when they win or get a good result, all things considered. I guess that is what you get by dominating the sport for almost a decade. People were so quick to consider Lewis the GOAT, I can't help but notice the lack of competitiveness from him, even with a inferior car.
"This is getting manipulated, man!"
I think that's taking it a bit too far. There's no denying that Lewis cruised to some of his titles because the car was leagues ahead of the rest, but he still has extremely competitive races even in a car that's drifting between second and fourth best. And I'm saying that as not the biggest Lewis fan out there.
He is/was very good, just not the best, in my opinion.
