Vettel used to respond similarly over the course of his championship years too . He would rarely if not never dwell on that stuff , he wouldn ' t even draw attention to how out of reach he was pointswise . It was always enjoy the moment and focus on doing your best . I think it ' s in part to keep the focus on the now . Dwelling on the past , whatifs , and things you can ' t change just distracts . I ' m sure at the high level they ' re competing at , and with such little room for error , they can ' t afford to be distracted . Just look at any driver who lets their personal issues or conflicts bubble to the surface and see how much their performance suffers when they obviously hold on to their resentment .
