Christ almighty is it really necessary to get so bloody tribal ? This isn't football , it isn't actually compulsory to have a favourite driver , and to despise everybody else. It is possible to enjoy racing for what it is , rather than degenerating into playground taunting and sniping . Despite being addicted to the sport since the Seventies I still really don't care very much who wins , I just want good racing . As for team bosses , they're just alpha males doing acting in a stereotypically alpha male way - quel surprise ... .

Well, you've got some time on your hands. Back to 2016 posts to support your anti-Hamilton/Hamilton supporters crusade.Can go back over the Vettel years if you like.. I don't think we need to bother though eh.

Seb's an interesting one, I think many people were really irritated by him when he was winning relentlessly and displaying the finger, and the multi-21 shenanigans, etc. Now that he's struggling a lot more though, he's way more likable. He seems to me to be a very decent bloke, actually.coppice said:

Prone to on track dick-ish behaviour when things aren't going his way. Started off being like-able at Ferrari but the honeymoon period went when he bumped into Hamilton at Baku some years back, calling Charlie Whiting every name under the sun at a Mexican GP, didn't like Le Clerc becoming the Ferrari Golden Boy and crashed into him. His attitude stank in the last year with Ferrari.jimPH said:

I wonder who the Hamilton fans will hate this season, I suppose it depends on who's winning.
How childish!

Everyone hated Rosberg simply isn’t true… I’ve seen more criticism of Nico on PH re his YouTube channel and appearances on Sky as a pundit.
Vettel is well liked. I’ll fess up to calling him fingers but hate? Hell no. Like a lot of people I think he’s a decent, interesting guy with great sense of humour.
He took for more stick in his last 2 or 3 years for spinning of the track multiple times. Lots of PHers were saying he’d lost it, he’s finished… replace him with c driver. And, that was from fans in general.
Verstappen, well of course not all Hamilton fans rate him, but to say everyone hates him? You really are blinkered. I don’t like Max style of racing, attitude, sense of entitlement but, nah… I don’t hate him. As much as I love F1 it simply isn’t important enough to me to hate any driver. likely much the same for most fans.
Plenty of fans of other drivers aren’t too enamoured with Max and how he goes racing.
Maybe you should take in what people are actually saying rather than telling us what you’ve decided a whole section of fans think.

Ever heard someone say: "ill kill him" doesn't actually mean they'll commit murder.
"That weighs a ton" = its heavy
"I could eat a horse between two breadvans" = I'm hungry
"Everyone is doing it" = quite a few people are involved
You get the picture.. sorry for being human.
