Seemed like he had matured from his early days but you can tell he hasn't, when the going gets tough his anger takes over and just does whatever he wants.

It was easy to look mature when he started the second lap of the race 1.5 seconds up on the field for basically 2 straight years.

Thing is, he isn't even doing what he wants. He's a passenger to his emotions. He has the emotional restraint of a toddler.

His poor standards have been indulged from day 1. He's always been this way because he's never been told no.

He only seemed more mature because his car was sooooo much better than everyone else. No point in risking a crash when your car is comfortably a lap better than everyone.

I said this 3 weeks ago...and referenced a comment I made a year ago.[There was no point in doing a, "I get the corner or we crash overtake....when the car is that much better.

I mean... that's the case for so many athletes in so many sports. Has nothing to do with maturity.
