I was talking about the last 5 or so years when he didn't win any GP but was praised even more than he used to when he won. If you look back in those years he didn't win almost anything... you can't really understand how much hyped people get about him in his country of origin but imho he didn't deserved what he got in the last years... |
Guys like Pirlo or even Giggs in football didn't win everything each year, but were always praised because they are/were modern legends in their sport. Federer in tennis also had a few rough years, and was always praised. You can find others in a lot of sports. A great champion or a legend will be one forever, rough times or not, and (at least some) people will always praise him/her for it.
