Two bitterly opposed combatants. Their rivalry played out in front of a huge television audience. An outcome too close to call. Both wealthy beyond the imagination of their followers. Winning is all that matters. One cool, calm & collected. The other rattled, emotional and shooting from the hip. One claiming the system is rigged against him and that even his own team are sabotaging his campaign. The other silently taking the moral high-ground. The underdog, snubbing one press conference after another and resorting to social media to make his ‘disrespected’ point. Perhaps the elderly Bernie holds the key?

The US Presidential election, right? Wrong. In his battle with Nico Rosberg for the Formula 1 title, Lewis Hamilton is in meltdown and near self-implosion. His petulant actions of late show him to be a somewhat charmless & childish champion, with an ego as fragile and flawed as a blown Michelin. Get a grip, Lewis.
