LOL carlos! Very funny indeed.
Like I said, I do accept he's arrogant, but I just see most of the sucessful people in sport having a similar degree of arrogance. I guess in some people it manifests itself as self confidence, in others it can manifest as a show-off style playboy lifestyle (I'm thinking Flavio here) and in others, like Mallya, it will manifest as a need (possibly of somebody with his own underlying insecurities) for somebody to make everything revolve around himself.
Either way, they all have a self-belief or a drive, which, as the owner of a team once named Jordan, a privateer and a representation of a new market for F1 surely that's a good thing (assuming this drive will lead to results).
P.S mx_tifosi - thanks for the PM, apology is obviously accepted my friend, like i said my previous post was simply a thankyou to others, and in listing some of those people I did exactly what I didn't intend to do - undermine others. And I'm sorry for that, as that thought never has crossed my mind. I guess what I was trying to say was that I respect all people on this forum, some I hold in such high regard because I read their posts and think "Wow, that really is a good point" or "I wish I could put my own bias to one side and be as level headed as that". Others though sometimes don't post in such a continually brilliant manner (I'm thinking here of Acer/Ranger, and some of our former "asteemed" guests). But like I said - never did I mean to (or want to) try and classify people, or undermime them.
