I wanted a change and a new winner, but at the same time, my preferred champion would have been 'anyone but Verstappen'. He's a really fast driver, but he just seems like a dick, in the same way that Schumacher used to. If all drivers had had a chance, I'd have probably liked Kimi or Alonso to win the title. But the one I still want to win, even though he's not there racing any more, is Massa, after that championship decider in Brazil all those years ago.
Red Bull is my team, but I'm not really big fan of Verstappen personality. He is really amazing driver, but yeah, he is a dick. Though, without being a dick, probably he wouldn't become world champion.
I was amazed to see how professional Lewis reacted after loss on Sunday, hardly can imagine Max reacting in this way like Lewis did.
I like both Raikkonen and Alonso, but they're not easy personalities too. Offcourse, can't be compared with Schumacher or Verstappen.
And yeah, Massa loss in 2008 was probably most heartbraking thing in F1 history.
I am a McLaren fan here and regarding 2008 it would have been totally undeserved for Massa to win the title at that time.Every single duel on track against Hamilton he came out as a loser and he had the better car back then,Ferrari was just a bit better than McLaren.It was only luck that sought Massa to fight for the title and the funny thing was the local Brazilians gifted to Hamilton a Vasco de Gamma T-shirt meaning they were the eternal seconds in Brazil Serie A so hopefully even Hamilton was going to have a fate like that.Hamilton accepted it and he didn't care at all about that superstition and he became World Champion.
For 2021 I cannot say that Lewis deserved the title more than Max or Max more than Lewis but circumstances brought the title to Max and that is it,just that.
