Granted, all teams engage in massive PR campaigns. I'm not even talking about commercial or advertisement deals, but simply the way most drivers and team principals have been taught what to say, when to say it, and when to shut up.
With that in mind, I invite you to read this article in the Guardian. Seb, whom I have disliked for his (petty, I know; cultural differences perhaps) finger-wagging (toned down by RedBull PR team since the last booing, it's the fist, thumb, whatever else now), really comes across as one smart dude. That's the kind of champion we want, don't we, dominant machinery aside? A kid who says that he's too young to fully grasp what he's achieved as a young man, a guy who has his head well on his shoulders?
Of course I'd rather see my man Lewis in this position, but, heck, Seb is a great champion. For some reason, I've really warmed up to Seb this year. Maybe team PR departments should let these guys talk a bit more freely, so that we, as fans, get to appreciate the man driving the machine, as we did in the "olden days."
