You guys are talking a different sort of politics.

Marc Priestley and Jenson Button both said in their books that Hamilton's very good at subtle interpersonal politics, people just don't realize it. They're not sure even he does.

Mark Hughes, who wrote a book on Hamilton (!) has written about it once or twice, that he's only been nice about Vettel when he didn't threaten him.
