His win at all cost attitiude mean you love him or hate him, I think those that love him have a similar attitude, I know I do, if its competitive then I play to win and win only, regardless of tactics.
Thing is with MS is that he has/had the skill to back it up, nobody could come out and say "he only wins all the time because he drives dodgy" because they would get shot to shit because the guy was so obviously the greatest talent of all time, thats the long and short of it.
He combined frightening talent with a huge amount of will to win, thats why he was so succesful, I can honestly say I never once saw him anything other then exstatic with every victory, they'll never be another, and I'm chuffed to fuck I was around to see all of his career.
Great loss to the sport, wont be the same watching it now, I'm not keen on alonso, massa looks good and has come on leaps and bounds since the begining of the season, good luck to him
