The British public, or at least the internetting part, seems to have a real problem with the success of an individual. I don't know if it is resentment, jealousy, or a fear that the success of someone else points out what a inadequate person they are/feel, but it is an awful behaviour.
It is not dissimilar to the joy that football fans take in the failure of another team. Given that most football fans choose the team they support at an early age form the newspapers, it is in any case a fake ´support´. But even with that, I can understand to an extent the joy in the success of a team that one has arbitrarily chosen to support, but the joy in the failure of another team is quite beyond me.
That that's aside from the copious use of "we" and "our" as if some way they had some relevance to the team or it's performance beyond subsidising it by sucking up their merchandising.

He is a racing driver, not a thought leader. I find the way that the media and it's lemmings hang on his every word tiresome.
But he is a driven man and a superb driver. And I enjoy watching him race.
