Hanalei

Valterri Bottas

I'm very interested in the McLaren drivers this year. Interesting to see them gamble on a rookie, they'll hardly unearth another Lewis Hamilton but I feel KM will be competitive. I'd love Button to win the title, admittedly that's partly because of his father dying but I've always liked him.

And I hope Hulkenberg has a strong season.

All of that. Plus Massa. I'd love to see him outperform both Ferraris, having played second fiddle for so long. I think the title is beyond Williams but there are very few more worthy victors.

Jordan 199

Valterri Bottas

Can a mod edit this poll. I don't know how Atari Jaguar made it into it

Myrddin

Jules Bianchi

I'll be following quite a few drivers, & hoping they do well:

Hamilton
Alonso
Grosjean
Button
Hulkenberg
Massa
Botas

HigginsJ

Max Chilton

Grosjean, Button, Gutierrez & Bianchi are the 4 for me. Really think Grosjean can make a run at the title if the car is there. Can't wait to see Bianchi in a car capable of winning races next year

Roman Grosjean

Autosport

Atari Jaguar

Hulkenburg, Massa, Kobayashi, Button and Alonso just to see how he handles Kimi

jpb14

Kevin Magnussen

I will be following Jenson Button,I want to see if he still has it now that McLaren seem to have a good car again and that Ron Dennis is back to kick some butt.
I hope Vettel has a meltdown and throws a hissy fit at all the RB crew and that he kicks the sh!t out of his car when it breaks down on the opening lap of the 1st race.
I hope Kimi wipes the floor with Alonso too.
And I want to see Kobayashi doing his breathtaking bansai overtaking moves again.

Zcott

Kevin Magnussen

Atari Jaguar, closely followed by Super Nintendo. Could be a Mega Drive.

dor83

Roman Grosjean

Alonso and Kimi. Fully expect Alonso to compete for the title again and he would be my favourite for it too, even if the Ferrari isn't the best car he will get the results. If Kimi drives as well as he did last year Ferrari should win the constructors title, so long as the car isn't hugely unreliable that is.

mickdw

Atari Jaguar

Button massa and koboyashi for me.
Will also be hoping for rosberg to best Hamilton, kimi to beat alonso and grosjean to beat pastor m. I'm also hoping that Vettel is nowhere.

Frank Bullitt

Kimi Raikkonen

Alonso. I hope he gets the title with Ferrari he deserves this year!

Slutmonkey57b

Esteban Gutierrez

Lotus should be interesting because I hate both of their drivers. However I hate Maldonado a lot more, so that puts me in the position of rooting for a driver I have basically no respect for.

ZiabR

Esteban Gutierrez

I will be following the below list closely:

Hamilton
Rosberg
Alonso
Magnussen
Hulkenberg

Bugatti

Kevin Magnussen

Driver: Button
Team: Williams

I'll be delighted if there's wins for both this season!

v3ttel

Felipe Massa

Even with Di Resta gone from the grid, I'd still like to see Force India do well. For varying reasons, the main drivers I'll look out for are:

Vettel,
Button,
Ricciardo,
Force India x2,
Kvyat

Over the course of the season, I'd really like to see Rosberg beat Hamilton and Kimi beat Alonso. Also, a Williams fighting towards the front of the grid would be a lovely sight.

PopePalpatine

Atari Jaguar

Rosberg (especially because I bet on him when he was at 16/1 ), Hulkenberg, Massa and Kobayashi.

Charlie-Bravo

Atari Jaguar

Lewis, Jenson, Hulk, Massa, Kamui - Nice setup of drivers from various teams. My Team choice is probably going to be decided after watching the first race to see which was most enjoyable.

Mike Litoris

Atari Jaguar

Alonso
Hamilton
Button
Magnussen
Kobayashi

I've always rooted for Williams and really want to this year but I just dont like Massa and couldn't care less about Bottas. Grrrrrr :mad:

antodeco

Button, Koboyashi and Ricciardo!

Atari Jaguar has more votes than Max Chilton.

Max Chilton would probably vote for Atari Jaguar ahead of himself.


Myself, I'll be following:

Hamilton (Looks to have the package to win it this year)
Grosjean (Steps out of Kimi's shadow, pressure on his shoulders this year?)
Magnussen (Has great speed, and McLaren look quick)
Hulkenberg (Exceptionally talented driver)
Massa (Steps out of the Ferrari shadows, no longer a number 2 driver)
and everyone's favourite banzai driver, Kamui ^_^

Jordan 199

Valterri Bottas

Great to see Felipe getting a high amount of votes with 26 so far. He only got 8 votes in a poll I setup last August.

Jules Bianchi

WHAT?? No option for Susie Wolff??? :P

God knows we'll probably hear more ****e about her this year than some of the backmarkers who are actually racing...

I know this isn't popular to say, but I really don't get the hate for her.

I mean, I know I'm not talented enough to drive a Formula One car, but if someone gave me an opportunity, there isn't a hope I would say no.

There are numerous examples of people over the years who actually had a race seat that were also in the same category of "Not good enough". I'm sure you can pick out the examples yourself.

Aside from the driving, she came across as being quite likeable and spoke very intelligently when she joined Sky F1 for a race weekend last season. I'd like to see her do well when she gets the chance in a practice session.

Valterri Bottas

Alonso and Kimi.
Massa and Grosjean

I'm inclined to agree. Ok her career history isn't all that great, but who's to say she might not take to F1 better than other disciplines? Look at Kimi, when he went to rallying he wasn't all that hot if I recall? But more than decent in an F1 car...& while I'm not comparing Suzie to Kimi in any way...I'd like to see what she can do before writing her off... (maybe she has already posted times in an F1 car which makes my point completely moot )

Slutmonkey57b

Esteban Gutierrez

What I like about Suzie and Williams is that there's no massive hyperbole about the arrangement. They don't claim she's the next Hamilton, they're clear about why she's on the team and she seems to do genuine work which the engineers are clearly happy with.

I'll happily have Wolff in f1 ahead of another year of Narain, or listen to DiResta whinge at everyone after he gets beaten/puts it in the wall.

Firewalkwithme

Jules Bianchi

I really wasn't trying to slag off Susie Wolff with that comment, more so the media and the hype they create and the hyperbole they use about the couple of practice runs she will be doing.

There have been, still are and always will be drivers who never deserved an F1 drive but we all know it's primarily a business rather than a sport these days.

Of course it could be worse, anyone remember Chanock Nissany?

Are there many who are that much slower than top drivers though? Hell, Diniz used to keep up with his teammates sometimes, and as I pointed out before, Chilton was slower than his teammate, but only by the same amount Webber was slower than Vettel. She's on a much lower level even than that. It's approaching Milka Duno proportions tbh, I find it hard to beelieve they can get anything useful out of her participation. But hey, let's believe that's the case rather than having anything to do with her surname and the Williams surname for this year, because we're just not that cynical.

I will be follow a few drivers this year and I hope they will do well.

Massa
Raikkonen
Button
Hulkenberg

ShaunieVW

Daniel Ricciardo

Vettel, because everyone loves to hate him and he is funny for a German. Also rooting for Riccardo, deserves his spot with RBR.

K-Mag, came in like a seasoned pro. Future champion.

Massa, hopefully can shine away from Ferrari. God I hate Ferrari and Alonso. Wonder where he will be without his blocker/ slipstream/ here is an extra place car.

FYP

When he was on Top Gear a couple of years back he was brilliant. Anytime I see him outside of an F1 car he comes across so well (a lot more likeable than certain other World Champs)

I still really want to see him fail this year though. If he can win in a car that is clearly not the best (ala Alonso) he will go way up in my estimation
