Lewis: its easy to be negative about people... I think its worse when its a driver that knows how hard it is in this field.... and they dont even have the success that I have

Nico to Villeneuve: he was speaking to you. He said he hates when ex-drivers criticise him who've not had his success 😗✌️

"Normally I don't read it, but the team makes you aware of it, to prepare me for things that have been said. It does work me up... this is a world champion as well, in Jacques' case, it's someone who knows the sport. "I could comment on other drivers and be like, 'Yeah, he's gone through a rough patch', but I would never talk s**t about someone because I can relate and I know what they've gone through. No-one can strap themselves and do this, it's such a rare sport. "I was more disappointed, but I thought, 'If some people think that way, time for me to remind them that I'm still here'. I used it to my advantage, but it's fine. I know people have opinions. I just thought, 'Don't get agitated, get motivated'."
