I am not really one to hate on teams or drivers for no reason, as I hold massive respect for each and every one of them. I love the sport, so I feel like having some hatred for a part of it is not really useful. But I have to say, from the baviour of Toto, to comments of Hamilton and on track behaviour of Russell, they have become very annoying in my eyes and seeing them lose has become more fun to watch than seeing them win. That's obviously just my subjective view of things, but I just feel like them being on top for 6 years and being in the sport for a pretty long time, they would understand that domination is not easy. Instead, they act like sore losers, dismissing their competitors, shitting on the car (and in the same way, the engineers), and overall being extremely unlikeable. I am not even tifosi, but after shit Toto has said during Las Vegas, I am holding my hopes up that ferrari cleans the floor with them in Abu Dhabi and gets that p2.

It's easy to be magnanimous, calm, rational and fun when everything's going your way and a lot harder when it isnt.

This came up before for them when they were really challenged or things got tense but for one reason or another the pressure was let off and things went back to normal.

Some teams (people) handle the transition better than others and F1 has easily had examples of both over the years, think it just means their a regular team.

I see what you mean. Perhaps they just seemed to work like clockwork before 22, then they seemed to crumble.
