This isn't really even a new story.

He talked about this when it was happening last year.

He could be smarter about what he says - but so could have Kimi Raikkonen and he just seemed to get a pass.

I will look for what he does on the track to judge him. I won't base it on what some reporter in search of a story bleeds out of him.

I'm sure he'll be just fine once he cleans the sand out of his cooter. Hopefully the races don't coincide with that time.

I don't know. That time can cause aggression and lack of inhibitions.

What could be better for an F1 driver?

We never saw Kimi wanting to quit.

He just accepted it and gave it when he wanted to.

No matter what he said or what he did, under this pressure and circumstances I think it is totally normal to feel somewhat intimidated and this can even cause professionals to say or do things they will regret later. He is still young and I'm sure he hasn't reached his full potential yet.

Kimi has never been and will never be a charismatic person. Everybody has his one way of dealing with stuff like that and Kimis is not to give a fvck what people say....

Just my 2 cents

F that. Even if I was some replacement scrub I would never say I shouldn't be in F1. I would club every baby seal on the face of the earth to drive in F1. Get some ****ing pants.

+1. Hamilton is a world champ. He should never question his place in F1.
