For example, Michael Schumacher was sympathetic underdog in 90s, He constantly had worse car than competitors but was determined to beat them with skill despite handicap. Sometimes worked sometimes not, but it was always enjoyable to watch.
In 2000s however he gradually became so called "red baron", who gets free victories using team orders even when there is no any real competition from any other teams and championship is all but guaranteed.
In Belarus Alyaksandr Lukashenka clearly lived longer than he should have. If Luka left in 2005, he would now be remembered even more fondly than Kuchma in Ukraine.
Instead, he became a villain. A puppet of Kremlin who destroys future of young people of Belarus to desperately cling to his power like Gollum to his ring.
That is why there are term limits on presidency. To prevent them from becoming villains.
