    Been looking for a new Fav team and driver since Jordan ceased to exist and and Michael Schmuacher retired. I know he is back, but it doesn't feel the same to me. I dont know why and no, its not because he isn't winning.

    At the weekend I felt a pull towards Sauber ( whom I always liked), and Kobayashi, so Kobayashi and Sauber are my new favs :-)

    For me, it's not necessarily because he isn't winning, but because he hasn't done anything remotely impressive since he returned. He's like a different driver; a very ordinary one who - given the right car - might win a race. In 1996, he won three races in a car that barely deserved to be anywhere near the podium. Maybe he'll win again, but the magic is gone.

    Williams has always been my favourite team, but they seem to be very slowly going the same way as Brabham and Tyrrell. This year's car may be an improvement, but their driver line-up isn't great. They really need a star driver (Webber) and a decent engine (Renault). And soon.

    Renault for me. I followed them with Alonso and then with Kubica. I like Petrov aswell.

    Ive never followed a "team" as such or a driver besides Irish drivers. For me, its the racing and I want to see good races with plenty of overtaking and action. But, I have to say I do have soft spots for Rubens and Williams and also Kobayashi and Sauber.

    Ild also like to see Webber become world champion and see Rubens win the Brazilian GP just to see his reaction. Ild probably start crying from seeing all his tears. Its not going to happen especially with team orders but I would love if Massa finished higher than Alonso in the pecking order.

    You summed it up perfectly

    For the last few seasons i've followed Mclaren but i used to follow Williams, Brawn, Renault, Jordan and even Jaguar but i'd love if Webber or Rubens finally become champion. I love it even more if Ferrari lose and Massa finishes ahead of Alonso :)
