Anyone else noticed this or am I full of ****? It seems worse this year than in previous seasons.

Petrov tells Hulkenberg he is number one...

I hate it, too, but that seems to be the Zeitgeist. BTW, same thing with today's fan generation...When drivers were men and not pampered, soft, whining, moaning, spineless, wusses. They drove one handed most of the time, to change gear. Check out something like Ayrton Senna at Monaco in 1988, but thats when drivers were brave heroes, not gutless wimps who cry at the first drop of rain

The only person who annoys me when he does it is Perez, because he seems to be the one at fault when he does it...

Then you certainly remember Andrea de Cesaris' famous handwave with which he basically lost a race?I hate it, too, but that seems to be the Zeitgeist. BTW, same thing with today's fan generation...

Good stuff! Murray Walker was the GOAT. In NASCAR when they interview the other driver they say "oh he was just telling me I'm number one.""I'm going for first," says John Cleland.

This. People are complaining when drivers behave like corporate robots and when they do something 'real' out of emotions, there are still voices of dissaproval. They're just human in the end and it's good to see that sometimes.it's a high pressure sport, of course now and then their are some emotions. for #$%^ sake

Mansell in Canada springs to mind too.Then you certainly remember Andrea de Cesaris' famous handwave with which he basically lost a race?

Senna was a notorious waver as there ever was oneYeah, I know about how great Senna was that he mastered the art of shifting gears, men were men, everything was harder back then and all the rest of that ****. The thing is, he was paying attention to driving his car when he shifted gears, an act he performed hundreds of thousands of times in a calendar year. He wasn't taking a hand off the wheel to goggle and wave frantically at another driver

and remind me how old most of them are? If I am not mistaken they are all around their early twenties, right? so... How many twenty-year-olds do you know who are cool and breezy in such situations?

Nothing new. Denny Hulme was famous for shaking his fist at photographers that he felt were too near the track. Of course, that was back in the day when they would kneel on the kerb at the apex of a corner to get a good shot!Since the invention of on-board cameras, you've seen drivers waving.

I'm not saying it's an accident waiting to happen. I'm questioning why the world's greatest drivers' first reaction to anything going wrong with another driver is to take a hand off the wheel, sometimes during the middle of a spin, when their attention should probably be elsewhere. Say, for instance, their out-of-control car. Sometimes it looks like they're waiting for opportunities to look pissy about things.
