As much as I still don't like Lewis as a person, he is without any doubt the very best driver of this age. A great drive and a well deserved 7th championship, he must surely go for 8 next year.
Amazing achievement.
As to how likeable he is, the single mindedness required to really succeed at the top of elite sport can often make someone seem less than likeable; just think about Andy Murray compared to Tim Henman. It's that killer instinct, the drive to win.
