Whats your team?
Who's your driver?
I'm watching the F1 now, and the teams are set to restart in the Monte Carlo GP.
I'm with Mclaren, And Button's the driver for me.
I'm also following Hamilton and Di Resta. I like Sutil, but he's certainly unorthadox. That said, so is Di Resta lol.

Di Resta is a nutter, must think he's on the dodgems! Certainly makes things more interesting though. I always look out for the British drivers, Hamilton in particular, and it's Mclaren for me too.

Don't really follow any teams and I only occasionally watch F1 but watching it today was quite interesting.
I usually only find the crashes interesting but that red flag moment was really weird. I presume it doesn't happen often due to the fact the bbc didn't even know the rules.

no one knows the rules there are so many, and they change every single year.

I stopped watching Formula 1 since bunglers like Hamilton and Button have been able to achieve top rankings and even championships. Sorry, if I offend any supporters here, but especially Hamilton can't drive for shit.
It has been a continuing fashion to sign non-talented drivers and put them into the best cars, only because they have a lot of sponsors in the back.
To avoid any UK-bashing here, I name Ralf Schumacher being another example of an awefull driver as well.

What are you talking about?
A drivers quality is shown by regular performances and regular finishes. A bad and inexperienced driver will crash or spin out every race, but the better ones stay on. Hamilton and Button qualify as good drivers. Button is fantastic with tyre control, great with fuel consumption and DOMINATED in the brawns for the best part of the season. Hamilton came into F1 and immediately shone.
If its down to the cars, then I cant say Vettel is any better than the mclaren duo.

I don't agree to this statement. Those times have passed long ago. The technical improvemnets became more and more important.

I sign that! Vettel is like a suicide bomber. I have never seen a driver blowing up the engine more frequently than Vettel.

well how many times did a force india driver finish compared to a mclaren driver last year?
Mclaren had a dreadful car last year, with dreadful grip, but the drivers made the most of it. I dont see how you can say Hamilton and Button are bad, when they show the ability to win championships. Its still about the drivers. Look at Rosberg compared to Schumi this year. Rosberg is way out infront. Look at Red Bull. Vettel over Webber everytime. Look at Ferrari, Alonso over Massa, its still about driver ability... Cars play a huge part, yes, no dispute there, but when Rosberg goes 4th and Schumi ends up 10th, theres always the driver ability factor.

Tmo opinion nowadays it's the only part, which is counting. Put poor (not shitty) drivers in a good car and, they will achieve top rankings. You kind of came to the same conclusion, simply only by comparing the team-intern rankings. It became the only countable point to contrast skills and talents (or age, when it comes to Schumacher).
You can't compare drivers from Force India with the ones from Red Bull. And this is is the modern dilemma of Formula 1, where I told myself not to watch it anymore.
I am not that radical, due I am not looking for the boring Nascar or Indycar crap, where everybody uses the same automobiles.

Not really into F1 to be honest. I find it boring. I'm a massive bike fan so give me Moto GP, WSB or BSB anyday.
