They’re all head cases, but that’s what drives them to chase perfection.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. "Vince Lombardi" Why even try to be perfect if perfection is unattainable? For the passionate, our passion is striving for perfect, even if they do not actually achieve it.
To Viñales, it must feel like the wall he is banging up against is one of technical limitations. There is merit in that, but great riders, champions, accept that is part of the game, and find a way to ride around those limitations, finding strengths elsewhere. Viñales lacks the ability to do that.
It is perhaps his ambition and his will to victory which prevent him from doing that. He gets an idea in his head, figures out a plan, and sticks to it come what may. He believes it should work, and refuses to believe when it doesn't work.
Head case. No lack of talent, but definitely a lack of flexibility
"This steadfast refusal to face the idea that the problem might be him is what stands in the way of success for Maverick Viñales."...motomatters.com
