No one likes him outside of Britain because he's a whiny attention whore who wants to be hero worshipped and F1 puts him in the spotlight. They are one of pretty much all of the sports who want to follow the NBA/NFL model of thinking you need hero worship to get young fans and love putting the amazing black dude in the spotlight. There's not a ton of other attention whore drivers either. No one cares about his race, but I'm sure they are tiring of him pulling the race card more and more the last couple years. Just wait if Mercedes brings in Russell for the 2nd seat it will be even worse because Russell seems like a pretty hard worker take the bull by the horns guy that won't just be mediocre Bottas.

I don't think his move was intentional to cause a crash, but it reeked of desperation. Max was gone off into the distance if he makes it to the next sector in front. Hamilton knows he's not going to be gifted another easy championship (at least not from on-track performance) and in his typical fashion cracks under frustration and does stupid shit. It's not out of character for him going way, way back. He stuck himself in a spot where the outcomes were crash or end up in third I think. If there's no collision he can't carry enough speed through that fast corner from where he's put himself to even hold off LeClerc.
