I can see why some people don't like Lewis. Maybe it is his demeanor. Maybe it is boring he has won a lot. Maybe it is his politics. Maybe it is his lifestyle. Maybe there are other reasons.Lewis and nico went down to the final race when nico won, Lewis tried to back him up into the pack but nobody could get past.
Also alonso got stuck behind petrov in the final race in 2010 (I think)
Lewis has definitely had a nasty streak previously in his career, I think now he’s widely regarded as tough but fair. Max will settle down, they nearly all always do, one too many crashes cost them a title and they simmer down.
However, I never ever remember anyone saying he had a nasty streak. He has never ever been in that conversation when those type of drivers have been discussed by pundits. Sure, you can go through his long career and try and point out mistakes he may have made. Could do that with any driver, especially those is the limelight competing at the top.
It can't be compared to Max, who over steps the mark race after race. But, can I put all blame on Max? Maybe not, I don't think his bosses at Red Bull do him any favours
