So making a mistake, doing some promo stuff and partying with celebs makes one arrogant but saying that the team that has worked so hard is in reality not putting 100% effort behind him is not arrogant? It's an insult to the team.

For example Kubica was whining about the frong wing

""Unfortunately when we did tests in Barcelona, I saw some things but we decided to do something different because the team was convinced it was the right way to go""

I never said Hamilton was arrogant--go back and check if you want.

My point was that it seems Kubica is more focused on F1 than Hamilton is.

And I'll say it again--you and I just have to agree to disagree.

Both Kubica and Hamilton "suffer" from the same malady - too much success, too soon. They have too much sail and not enough keel or rudder.

Both are very immature, and I do not mean that as a criticism. Both are simply young, inexperienced, and somewhat naive. And I believe neither has had an effective mentor - a sage greybeard who has been there, done that, and has the trophies - and the scars - to prove it. (M Schu would be an example of this person. His tactics and ethics WERE often questionable, but his competitive drive, vision, dedication, and TEAM spirit never faltered).

I trust Kimi and Alonso will administer some hard lessons to both of the enfant terribles in the coming months and seasons.
