Default What F1 drivers do you love to hate?

I'm a MS fan but I suspect he'll get a lot of haters.

I'll have to say my number one least fav is JPM. 2 years ago at Indy he bumps RB out of the race. Clearly his at fault. I think he even got a penalty. At the end of the year he was asked what his best moment of the year was, and he said "My 'pass' on RB at Indy" Actually it was kind of a clever remark, but he came off being a smart-ass.

Also JPM rear-ended MS at Monaco last year. Never so much a "sorry".


My number 2 least fav is JV. A few years ago before he retired he did an interview where he said he was just as good (or better) than MS but he didn't have a good car. Really? How come you haven't won a race in (how many ?) 8 years?

I guess I didn't like Hakanan b/c he was so stiff in the interviews.

I'm not a big fan of Sato, he seems to want to drive faster than the car is capable of.

I kind of like FA and KR is OK, but he's got a bit of an attitude.

Holy crap dude! this alphabet soup NEEDS to be in an IRL or F1 forum FAST!!

There are very few people on this board that can identify with the initials of all those drivers. I know I cant! WOW

1. MS- I don't like him but I do respect his skills.

2. JV- arrogant, and dumbass, taking out his Teamate Matta in the last race.

3. DC- he is a good driver but in a prior interview he mentioned that he enjoys planes and other hobbies more than F1 cars.

I have to disagree about Button. I think he matured into a very fine, solid F1 driver over the years. His smooth and error free driving style is very much sought after in the paddock. I dont think he talks NEARLY as much as JV who remailed all but silent during their fueds at BAR a few years ago.

Although he did some big talking last week, I think the dismal showing for BAR is mostly the fault of the team (and the 5 week old engines) not giving him a competative car. If he was leading the race, and ended up in the gravel, well thats another story.

I think JV's days are numbered with Sauber. If/when BMW buys the team they're most definately replacing him with Nick Heidfeld.

I'm not too thrilled with Mark Webber. For some reason he's a highly regarded F1 driver. Although he's had some terrific qualifying runs, his mistakes during the race are downright rediculous.

Friesacher - He's in way over his head, can't even get out of the way.

Jacques - The worst driver investment in F1 for the last 7 seasons.

Montoya - Proving this season that it's not the car.

Ralf - Probably caused more incidents in the last 5 years than any other driver.

JPM - cocky bastard

JV - mouthy, whiny bastard

Sato - Love this guy - just wants to do well but his car and team are holding him back.
