F1; who do you support?
« on: 24 July 2012, 23:55:35 »

I've been watching F1 this season. I've never ever been in to it but since learning mechanics I've found it really interesting. I especially like to see the stuff that goes on in the garages and the pit-lanes. Sad I know lol

Anyway, like all sports fans you need a team to support. But I'm stumped:

Red Bull I understand are a ''local'' team but it's a Renault and I hate all things French (sorry to anyone who may be French on here)
McLaren. I absolutely detest Lewis Hamilton and I'm not overly keen on Button. Yes he's English...buuuut just dont want to cheer him on. cant explain why lol
I really like Vettel. He seems like a genuinely good guy but again he's a Renault,

So. who do you cheer on? if you watch it at all that is  :)

It changes. Williams back when Mansell was king. Followed by Hill. Can't stand Ferrari they can disapear up their own rear end it's fine by me. Although, got to respect Alonso's driving. Not many people drive round the outside of Scumaker like Alonso did At Suzuka.
Mclaren currently. I think they have the two most talented drivers in f1 currently. There seems to be sumat wrong with team support, they keep getting into good positions then cocking it up. Although they seem to have sorted the pit stops now, did I see a world record quickest stop at the German gp...?
Deresta  seems talented and the Team are good.
Lotus I want to see do well.

So I guess it's home teams and drivers for me.

Virtually all the F1 teams have a presence in the UK, it is something the Brits are very good at. I support the local drivers. I can't stand vettel and the australian idiot I would not give the time of day to after he insulted Barrichello a couple of years back.

Williams we should support as the the last of the old teams.

I don't do F1. They're like footballers, overpaid shower of shite.

BTCC all the way for me :y :y I don't really have a team that I follow, I just love to watch them do battle 8) 8) 8) 8)

Touring cars, both British and especially European, I found rather dull. Tbh. Not to mention Slow. :-\

They seem to brake suspension parts and dnf almost as often as F1 cars.

I'm a big F1 fan, and have watched it for many years.  Although you cannot deny Alonso's talent, the driver I always want to see do well is Mark Webber.  Although he may not have been born in the UK, he lives in Oxford now (unlike Button and Hamilton), and he's definately the one I'd want to go for a pint with.  :y

I hate Alonso but can't deny he's probably the best driver, not keen on Hamilton either. I always watch to see how Button gets on but think he's lost interest at the moment and just picking up his pay packet ::)

I quite like Kimi Räikkönen and Grosjean
