who was the last champion who said all the right things? even rosberg had a bunch of very questionable moments. then you can look at the greats like senna and prost and they also whined a lot when things went wrong. the only people that don't say controversial things to media or about other drivers are the people in the middle or back of the grid who can't afford to say anything bad

I know right. It's like we expect these guys to be calm and rational when driving 150mph when the smallest mistake could potentially kill them or cause serious injury. I would be pretty wound up too in those situations and I'm a pretty chill guy. Emotions run high in the heat of the moment and after. I wouldn't expect these guys to calm down that fast after an incident or race is completed.
