Seb spoke about it quite a bit last week and it does bother him but, also makes him more determined.
If I were him I imagine I would drift between being quite bothered about it and then at other times, having a "**** 'em all" attitude.
However, in the long run if he wants to sort it out, he needs to face the reality of why he winds people up and adjust his behaviour accordingly.
Of course, there are the types who will just hate him regardless, but they aren't who he should bother with.
From a team perspective I'm not sure whether I would want to expose the star man to essentially a lot of critique about why he irks so many. You want the state of mind of your driver to be as focussed as possible on the task at hand, not wafting through a psychological cluster ****.
Quite. I can't decide whether Horner blaming other drivers indicates supreme arrogance or fretful uncertainty.
I'd also add some subconscious naiveity/ignorance into the mix. It's easy to forget that a majority of the team members such as him are essentially spending most of their time around people/colleagues with a similar mindset . Do they really get exposed to what Joe Public actually thinks without deliberately and consciously exposing themselves to it?
