The one word answer thing (and subsequent doubling down on it) tells you all you need to know about him. As I said above, he’s petty, vindictive, spoilt and lacking the class you associate with most champions. If that’s what floats your boat, fair enough

Verstappen: "I am very proud of this season because for most of it - I would say for 70% - we didn’t have the fastest car. But actually we still extended our lead so that is something I am very proud of." Lando Norris: "Massive congrats to him. He's deserved it. He has not put a foot wrong the whole year. That’s a strength of his. He has no downsides, no negatives. When he’s had the quickest car, he dominated races. When he’s not had the quickest car, he still been just behind us and almost winning the races anyway. He has not had any bad races all year. He has just driven as Max has always driven, which is perfectly and can’t fault him anywhere." George Russell: "Exceptional, he had a dominant car at the start of the year and got the wins when he needed to and then probably thought he wasn’t going to win the championship. And then he delivered week-in, week-out and got the result the car was capable of and his rivals didn’t." Lewis Hamilton: "He has done a fantastic job, not made any mistakes and delivered every time and every point he is supposed to. Really happy for him."
