I'm not sure Lewis has the reputation of being arrogant. I think sometimes people who are confident, unintentionally come across as superior. For many of us, on track, he's possesses the measured killer instinct of the consummate race Now that he's tamed his temperament, he has emerged as everything many want to see in a racer. Additionally he's multi world champion in different teams. That's how you judge an F1 driver.
I admit he has embarrassing dress sense, but he's a formidable talent on track. He started at the back of the grid last race, lost part of his bodywork after being hit , made 2 more pit stops than almost anyone else, had zero water pressure, had a self destructing car for over 15 laps and finished second.
If you saw the class of the field ahead of him, it was an heroic drive against the odds and certainly in F1, makes him one if not the greatest drivers of the modern era. Ask any F1 driver....
PS Haas are doing pretty good in their rookie season - we're all impressed by the team, over here in Europe.
