This is ONLY champion who has so many different opinions about his spotmanship. Nobody doubt Alan Prost or Niki Lauda on their sportmanship when they were winning their races. Need I say more?

Oh Puhleez!
Probably you are not aware about the difference between Prost , Lauda etc. and the sheer dominance shown by Michael. Hence the difference , More successful a man , more the no. of critics and enemies.
