Lewis Hamilton

Clearly a very talented driver, who I enjoy watching behind the wheel. He's driven two decent races so far this season, particularly in Australia. Sadly, though, he and his father have no moral fabric, as evidenced most recently by his allowing McLaren to take the rap for actions in which he was equally involved. Other instances of disloyalty to the team came as short a time ago as just before the Australian Grand Prix, when Hamilton admitted he would listen to offers from other teams, given his 2009 car is not championship-winning material. The most well-known, of course, is his attempting to bail out of McLaren to Williams when he was in a huff about not getting a Formula One seat when he wanted.

We already have a more constructive view of Lewis by the first poster

And now we have a more accurate one from McLaren Fan

I don't see how mine or McLarens Fans post are any less or more accurate than each others he just chose to focus more on specific area of Lewis Hamilton's personality.

To be honest, I don't care one way or the other. I was just dismissing an un-needed dismissal.

Kimi Raikkonen-

Personality:
Kimi seems to suffer from chronic depression and anxiety. It would appear that he has a complete emotional disconnection from anyone that hasn't known him for a considerable portion of his life. He finds it almost impossible to sit still for any period of time. He regularly drowns himself in alcohol after races and sometimes during. He is almost always flustered by high-pressure situations, with the exception that he's sober. People often portray him as someone who doesn't care about his racing career, but I suspect that he doesn't care about anything other than his inebriation.

Driving:
Kimi isn't looking to make friends with race mechanics and factory engineers. He is remarkably hard on his cars. He dives into corners with a progressive level of counter-steer, and relies heavily on pedal-feel on the exit. Some have described him as having "superhuman" reaction speed, likely a product of his anxiety. Kimi seems to be on an continuous mission to test and surpass the limits of every car he drives. Perhaps this is the reason why he fails to finish so many races.
