I don't see how singing "We Are the Champions" is arrogant, or for that matter his duck and win count signals. I guess that makes Michael's victory leap whenever he wins arrogant as well. It's nothing more than a outlet of emotion.

Yeah, Micheal was in a class of his own when it came to flaunting it. Not to mention his hand gestures to the Italian national anthem, which got him into trouble.

Im not judging FA or MS for their celebrations, I think if you are the best at what you do, you might as well enjoy it.

Theres nothing wrong with anyones celebrations, I thought Alonso singing was quite funny. I only had a problem with him saying he could have won more races, considering he was gifted a few wins by mclaren

...his hand gestures to the Italian national anthem...got him into trouble.

Indeed.

Todt and Schumi and Barrichello sang it on the podium at Hungary in 2001.

what arrogance

I just figured this out. The rivalry between Renault and McLaren this year was like Prost and Senna in 1988 at Suzuka. Think about it:

Senna had a slow start (McLaren), but once he got on his feet, he did many wonderful things, but in this case, he didnt catch Prost, who was Renault in this metaphor.

Think about it. One had a slow start, but after getting on his feet, he did great things, but in this case he didnt pass Prost. Think about it.
