Being selfish and narcissistic may help get you in the spotlight, but true talent will shine regardless.

Mayby in the days of Jim Clark, Graham Hill i.e.
But name me a few multiple world champions of the past 30 years who weren't selfish at the moments that it counted? It's easy to not be selfish when there is nothing at stake. I might argue that having that is part of the true talent. Of course having the raw driving talent is most important, I agree on that.
Also something to consider, the sport has become much more competitive, stakes are much higher, money involved is much more. Therefore pressure is much higher too.
