I've never seen Lewis as a "god" otherwise he'd have at least two, perhaps three more championships to his name. In 2007 as a kid to come up with Arguably the best driver on the grid and square off toe to toe was something magical. If that was "clinical" to you then we' surely have a difference of opinion on the word. In 2010 Lewis could have and should have been able to get a title, but his reckless aggression for overtaking and for not giving up a position cost him that year. Far from clinical. In 2011, no one was touching Vettel, yet Lewis tried a win at all cost tactic that further fed the wolves, and it led to him losing out on points to a team mate for the first time in his career, because he wanted to fight for first, not settle for second. Last year he was a transformed driver and perhaps the most fitting of "clinical" as a description, and again this time it wasn't Lewis costing himself a championship, it was his team making it very difficult for him. Even our buddy mnmracer's statistical analysis pointed to Lewis losing out on the most points, so another potential championship eludes him.
You like Bottas, and so do I, but I can't call him exciting to watch race in the way Kobayashi was, so what is it in your opinion that Bottas does that makes him not "clinical"?
Ultimately losing teaches more than wining, and Lewis has learned a lot since 2008 IMO.

We haven't seen enough of Bottas in F1 to make a decision yet, that Williams is too s*** for anyone to shine (Can't polish a turd and all that). Don't get me wrong, people think I dislike Hamilton for some
reason (I was branded racist once for questioning a move
he made when on another forum, which was rather laughable) I massively respect him,
he does seem to be one of those guys to shut up and get on with it and I like that,
he doesn't complain like Vettel or Button do when something is a little bit off.
He's fast and did have last year written off by his team;
he won
the moral championship last year.
I can kinda see how people think I dislike drivers, I'm just very picky and am always finding these little things that they did wrong and looking at them in more detail, so I get why people get
the wrong impression from me that I dislike drivers; but I do that to all drivers though, even my favorites.
Lewis has changed,
the way
he behaves and drives, saying
he's improved is objective but
he seems more relaxed in and out
the car now; but I've never really clicked with his driving style, it works well for him but it won't go down in history like
the great driving style of aggressive Senna or super smooth Prost and Mansell.
P.S I always hoped that Kobi and Hamilton would be teammates and always start from mid grid because watching them overtake at times is just incredible.

After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!
