Confidence can be interpreted as arrogance on occasion...

I've always thought Hamilton is quite humble.

He's maybe a bit ruthless, but that's why he's a double world champion.

He's justifiably confident in his own ability and I think he has made an effort to appear more humble.

I just cannot warm to the guy though. So stage-managed and cold. Maybe he's just wary of the press but you compare him to someone like Ricciardo and it's night and day.

Are we the only nation in the world that consistently criticises its most talented sports figures for being aloof/arrogant/self-absorbed, even though its often those characteristics which produce winners? It seems like it. Would have been exactly the same with Senna if he had been British.

Ricciardo is a much more likeable driver, but those guys rarely win championships.

Schuey, Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton etc are fairly friendly but there's also that ruthlessness which is required if you want to be the best in an individual sport. I could name legends from other individual sports like darts, snooker, tennis and golf who are exactly the same.

You don't have to support him, but at the very least Hamilton should have earned your respect.
