Actually, I think it's that deep down some people are starting to question if Max is as good as they've been claiming he is. Thus they feel the need to attack Lewis to justify their stance on Max.

It is quite remarkable how you know what other people think.

One can turn around his statement:

This is what I see here all the time.
UM... no. See year 2007. There has been no rookie on that level since. testing or no testing. Then max does not need to be attacked. I think Lewis fans have always maintained that Max is very talented, but just lacks the same level of experience at year 7 and this is nothing to be ashamed of. Their careers have been different. Max has been mostly in the redbull camp, and has only faced Perez as an outsider.
Max and Lewis at 130 entries. Lewis is up to 2013, no dominant Mercedes car as yet.

The result above is not to say who is better, but it's clear who has been through the most challenges and diverse situations in the same time span.
In that time Hamilton would have faced 2 DEFENDING champions (Alonso and Button), changed teams, fought for 3 championships (2007,2008, 2012). In all years he was never No.1 in the team, and had to race fairly against drivers who were put in place with intentions to destroy him. (Alonso, Button, Heiki, Rosberg #1 in Merc)
Hamilton does not have anything left to prove.
We are just enjoying the season really. It has been more exciting with red-bull having a really great car, and less tension because the rival is in another team. So far it has worked out nicely for Mercedes despite some blunders.
