He's got the maturity, the drive, the team, the car, and the talent. Did I miss something? Great to see him have a chance again to show what he can do.

Many of us have questioned his talent because we have seen him drive for many, many years and accomplish very little.

I just want to see him keep winning because he's entertaining in the press room. He speaks real English (yes, other drivers do a pretty good job considering it's a second language, but they struggle with the right words), he expresses what he feels, and he just can't wipe that big shit-eating grin off his face. That's rare to see from other drivers. KR speaks his mind but comes off as a bit of a prick, and most of the field just don't want to say too much. Vettel is another good post-race act. I hope we see more of him up there.

As far as his presence in the interview situation I agree with much of what you said.
Even though I'm not a fan, when he is interviewed I'm entertained and happy.
Unlike when LH is interviewed and I just want to turn the TV off.

I have to say, I like KR interviews, for some reason his cool dry nature amuses the hell out of me. Well that and the fact that he cannot talk without fumbling with the microphone...

I remember a race where MH had pulled off a late race pass on MS and took the win.
When the two of them were on the podium MS reached around behind MH and gave him a wedgie, and I don't mean one that comes up you backside, nooooo, somehow MS made it the front kind and there standing on the podium is MH with bulging eyes and crotch. It has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen on a podium.
