So who are you supporting this season?
You can vote for as many drivers as you want.
And as the rule of this forum goes.....
DISCUSSION ON YOUR FAVORITES IS ENCOURAGED!
So don't be afraid to post and then come back to talk about it, get stuck in telling us why you love them and finding out why others love their drivers!

Alright so I'll start off . I always support Jenson so I had to pick Jenson of course! But this season I also am support Daniel Ricciardo. Ok it was a girly reason I cared at first, he had a lovely smile, but he didn't do too bad matching up to Buemi and Jaime in the STR on Fridays and when he got the seat at Hispania even though I knew it would be hard I wanted him to do well. He seems like a brilliant driver and he deserves a chance. I also picked Bruno, well seeing we were all on a Bruno forum to start with its obvious that I support him. Though I don't like how Renault treated Nick I have to say!

You only put 3 I think I checked nearly everyone! So I'll start with the easy ones. Jenson, Fernando, Mark and Timo I always support. I wanted Jenson, Fernando or Mark to win the title, and I just love seeing Timo in F1. The others... Rosberg I feel is hard done by. No really. He has some really good results at Mercedes but everything is always Schumi related. Schumi is finding it difficult, we're trying to find the problem with Schumi's car... The pressure is off but I have the feeling when they realize that Schumi can't push the car they kinda halt everything. That isn't anything against the team or Schumi, I just feel what Rosberg has done recently is worthy of praise. To be honest at Williams I'd written him off as a filler, at Mercedes I've seen flashes of what could be. Petrov and Pastor I'm supporting because I hate the word Pay driver. I hate when people just write drivers off because they come with lots of sponsership. Especially as if you think about it drivers like Alonso "pay" for their drives too. People just write them off before they've had a chance, and if they are awful fair enough, but even though Petrov had a scruffy rookie year and Pastor is having a scruffy rookie year it doesn't mean they are crap. They might not be as talented as the big boys, but they are a lot more talented then people give them credit for. Daniel is pretty much the same as you Amanda, his smile made me notice him. He would have been more like Paul, I think Paul is great and all but I didn't notice what he was doing in FP1 last season, I noticed Daniel because he had a nice smile but he did well and I hope he does well in Hispania because Red Bull now have 3 pretty decent drivers waiting for Mark to retire/leave. Tonio I've always supported. Jerome........ I guess I just wish the rookies in the back teams well. I feel for them. They have a rocky path and no one wants to give enough credit because they think they should be winning everything in sight. It hasn't always been the case that a rookie has won everything in their first year, and it won't happen unless they are lucky as well as talented. I just want him to have a moment to shine because he got here on skill and he deserves to move onto a better team in time.

Bruno is still my favourite (and I forgot to pick him in the poll lol)
Out of the others I still have a bit of preference to Alonso from the Renault days and Jenson has gone up massively in my opinion since joining McLaren. And Kobayashi as I like his aggressive style

I support most of them.
But I only added two for meself.
Sebastien Buemi, as you know I got annoyed at other people always putting him down. He ain't exciting but he does what he's paid for. And since I took to defending him non-stop the guy has grown on me. He really does do a good job, he just doesn't do anything special.
The other is Mark Webber. But that is purely because he's the guy I support to win the championship.

I'm a BIG Sebastian Vettel fan. He's so generally likeable, and a lot of fun. His driving style is good to watch, relaxed, easy. He's super quick without having to put too much effort in, and as much as some people will disagree, its NOT down to having the fastest car! His results in the midfield Toro Rosso showed what a brilliant driver he is. I also voted for Kobayashi He's an all round racing driver, not willing to yield an inch but not driving others off the road either (ahem, Hamilton!!)

True, true. I love him at times though he is worth stalking on Facebook and Twitter just to giggle at him. We might get right minded Hamilton fans..... Then we remember that Margaret got INTO F1 as a Hamilton fan .
