I think you missed the point of my post. I know all about his upbringing but that's exactly my point - he's literally the opposite of humble. I said "based only on interaction with the media and with his team", meaning if you knew nothing about their upbringings and had to guess which grew up entitled. I actually find Rosberg comparatively down to earth, especially given his charmed childhood. Hamilton acts like he's royalty and he would be the first to tell you how great he is.
I grew up middle class and I sure as shit never got a go-kart when I was six so save me the "son of a postman" story. I think he had it pretty good. Sure, not nearly the life Nico had, but far from slumming.
