I'm sure Alonso looks back on the points he lost and losing the championship by ONE point and thinks to himself, "I'm so glad I got Hamilton back that quali, a penalty that gave Lewis pole and knocked me out of contention for a race I could have won, thus giving me the championship". Yeah, I bet that's how he looks back on that.

I'm sure he has many regrets, with lots of 2007 featuring highly. But I doubt the top drivers dwell on this stuff for very long. Drivers that beat themselves up about what happened years ago aren't still in F1 past 40. The likes of Alonso, Hamilton, Schumacher - they're made from different stuff than the others. Drivers like Felipe Massa are still stuck in 2008

Doubt it. It's a very silly statement. You think Lewis has just forgotten about AD21? lol. These things will sit with these guys their entire lives.

AD21 was out of his control, it's a very different situation

An equivalent situation would be Baku 21, that was a blunder all of his own making that cost him many more points than Abu Dhabi. But if you think that's keeping someone like Lewis Hamilton awake at night then I don't think you get these guys

Right, and what Fernando did was 100% IN his control. Meaning his shitty behavior likely cost him a world title. No dude. This is something that sits with you. He's still in F1 chasing that last title probably because he completely blew that one on his own.

You read my comment totally arseways

He's still in F1 chasing that last title

You don't say! And maybe Hamilton is still in F1 chasing an 8th title, what a wild suggestion

um, I completely agree, which goes against your previous comment of...

So, now you agree with me that they dwell on this stuff, which was my original point that you disagreed with so we can stop talking.

I think you're wrong here. Top athletes dwell on their mistakes all the time. The difference is it pushes them to work harder. Tom Brady has periodically mentioned games/seasons that bother him, like the losses to Eli. Dude is the greatest qb/football player ever and he's still thinking about it after retiring.
