There is a HUGE difference between confidence and arrogance. Claiming that You are as good as Senna(IMHO one of the greatest ever) without winning a SINGLE championship is ludicrous. IMHO that is not confidence that is arrogance. Arrogance is a sign of a weak human being!
IMHO - Hamilton is a great driver. But only time will tell if you can join the sacred list of driving GODS. IMHO - those are Senna, JMF, Phil Hill, MS, and Jim Clark.

It's no secret I'm a Ferrari fan, and I don't care much for Lewis, who IMO to call him arrogant is an understatment. But I can't help to think that he was miss quoted. Arrogant as he is, I think Hamilton aspires to be like Senna and knows that not he nor anyone else will ever be as good as Senna was. Senna was simply the best to be killed in his prime and still have people chassing after his records over a decade later is evidence that a guy like Senna comes once in a lifetime and I'm sure NO ONE will overshadow Senna in our lifetime.

Canada was a bonehead move - and he paid the price for it. If you recall, he was having a great day and was by far the fastest out there when it happened. And it cost him 10 spots in the next race.
That second video is just pure jealousy. If Lewis wins the championship, it will be despite his many mistakes - which shows he is human - and despite the Stewards doing all that they could to hand Ferrari a WDC.
And Kimi is such a perfect driver and person. Should we start talking about stuff like this??
YIKES!

Hey now Mister! You can always bash him for his driving, but NEVER bash a man for liking a beer or two sometimes

I wish he had the same flair during post-race interviews.
