First of all, I think that what Lewis did in twitter is way lamer than what Christian Horner said. Not to mention the reaction of Alex Wurz, which was hillarious. Like it or not Lewis made a pathetic outburst which make him look like a petulant, spoiled brat. But he was always like that IMO and he showed his true colors after the qualifying in Monaco 2007...
Also, just like FamousEccles, I wanted to like the guy, because when I like all top drivers I have only positive emotions from the sport. I am aware that what he does is inspiring, especially for people who are not Caucasians. The attitude however ruins everything. About the excuse that Lewis is "just human" and the others are PR robots. Which others? Kimi, who has a unique attitude and in the same time has never backstabbed his team, not even in 2008? Seb, who is a kid and sometimes still acts like a kid, but have never, ever betrayed Red Bull? Please. To be a human doesn't mean that you have to be an a$$. McLaren made Lewis what he is. They cared for him since he was just another kid racing go-karts. They made him comfortable, even at the expense of the great Fernando Alonso. He has to show some gratitude for them. He would have achieved nothing if he was driving for Force India or Williams, for example.
