It is admirable that Lando Norris refuses to change the way he races, even as title rival Max Verstappen tries to run him off the road every week.
It may also be a little naive. Verstappen has buckets of talent, the willingness to do whatever it takes to win and skin thick enough to ignore those who criticise the way he does it.
It is a combination which makes Formula 1 champions.
The Red Bull racer this week compared himself to Michael Schumacher in that respect and it is hard to disagree.
Schumi was one of the best ever but his career was littered with controversial moments too. Just ask Damon Hill about Adelaide.
Norris has this year proven beyond all reasonable doubt that he has more than enough talent to become a world champion.
But the last couple of weeks have raised questions over whether the Brit is ruthless enough to get the better of Verstappen.
Norris' points gain in Mexico was encouraging but he still needs to outscore the Dutchman by a double-figure total in each of the final four rounds of the year to topple him.
To do that, the McLaren man is going to need to get his elbows out.
Seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton looks likely to spend the final few weeks of his Mercedes tenure doing little more than testing work.
The Silver Arrows are all-but guaranteed fourth spot in the standings so they will spend the rest of the year gathering data for next year’s car.
That future does not involve Hamilton as he'll be racing for Ferrari. So even though there will be plenty of emotional farewells off track, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any more glory moments on it.
There will, though, be a special moment on track this weekend at Interlagos. Lewis is getting behind the wheel of one of Ayrton Senna's old McLaren cars after the end of the day's competitive running on Saturday, in front of delighted Brazilian fans and also the late, great F1 champion's family.
