The Resume

    (September 30, 1997- )

    Formula One driver
    Driver for Red Bull Racing
    Won 20 F1 races through the end of 2021
    Formula One Champion (2021)

Why he might be annoying:

    He had been racing Formula One for more than a season before he got his drivers license on his 18th birthday.
    Former F1 champ <51786>Kimi Raikkonen<51786> criticized his aggressive driving, saying he ‘was going to cause a huge accident sooner or later.’
    After a collision at the 2020 Portuguese Grand Prix with Canadian driver Lance Stroll, he said, ‘What a retard…. What a mongol, I swear.’
    When reporters pointed out that people might find his comments offensive, his initial response was, ‘Not my problem.’
    He won the 2021 Formula One title when a controversial ruling by race director Michael Masi allowed him to overtake Lewis Hamilton on the last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father Joe was also a Formula One driver.
    In his first full F1 season, he was named Rookie of the Year and Personality of the Year (2015).
    He was the youngest driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix race (the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix at age 18).
    He eventually conceded that his words after the Stoll collision were ‘not correct’ and made in the heat of the moment.
    He said, ‘Sometimes people take F1 too seriously, like it’s a life-or-death situation… For me, that was never the case and never will be.’
