If you want to talk about arrogant, remember Senna?

He thought he had a God given right to win (Senna, not Schumi) and would simply drive through anyone in his way (e.g. Prost).

Lewis does not seem to be like that at all. I just hope he leaves McLaren and joins Ferrari at some point! Unlikely I know, but I can dream.
Senna was he best F-1 driver of all times, hands down.

But yeah, I think Lewis is not only young and inexperienced regarding his attitude towards the press but also seems to have some lack of people skills to some degree, making him come across as an a-hole/arrogant person that some people/press are trying to portray of him. All in all he just seems to be an honest guy, and speaks his mind no matter what, without thinking too much what's he's going to say. I don't personally think he is arrogant. But I do think he's got a long way to go and only life will teach him how to be a more humble and patient man.

I'm sure Lewis will get there, hopefully not by his own mistakes alone, but also by being smarter and learning from other bright drivers' mistakes as well. Well at least that is what I hope for him. He's a good chap!

The guy thinks he IS Senna reincarnated. He Compares himself to Senna, Has Similar helmet colours and style. Believe me, he would change his name to Senna if he thought he would get away with it.
Like an earlier quote. He IS a Twat!

Well it's BS if you don't think Lewis caused an avoidable accident in Canada. I wondered about the penalty and read the Sporting Regulations. Guess what, the penalty for causing an avoidable accident is a 10 place grid penalty at the next race.

It always baffles me how the slightest infringment by a Ferrari driver has everyone up in arms (usually with Ron 'I'm not a crook' Dennis shouting the loudest) but when its the McLarens its a different story. Could it be the Schumi effect?
