Kimi, Seb and Jenson in that order.
I'm surprised to see that no one seems to care about Hülkenberg. :(
Neither did I, by the way. I went with Alonso all the way. :D
I like the quiet unassuming drivers, the ones that don’t court controversy and just quietly get on with their job… so I’ll be cheering for Lewis, Schumi and Fernando.
Button because he's british and a really nice guy. I also cheer on Lewis when he's behind a Red Bull :)
:d :d :dQuote:

It's going to be interesting to watch the contest between these two, they seem fairly well matched and they have a history of racing against each other. I'm for Ricciardo to show the way (obviously, I guess), but it will be great to watch.Quote:

However, I sort of felt he was a but gifted his WDC in the Brawn because it was so much better at the start than any other car, and he sort of seemed to back into his championship. Then, in 2011 he just flat-out impressed me with his cool driving, and by the end of the season I was enamored with his driving. As soon as I could know the McLaren was a damn good car for 2012 I went ahead and declared him my pick to win it all this year...I think this will go down as his best season, and I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to irk the hotter Hamilton.
2: Kimi. Because Kimi is awesome, do I need to say more?
3: Kobayashi. He still amazes me with the gambles he takes and how often he makes it pay off for him. He's had some stellar drives in the past and I sincerely home that Sauber continues to improve or that he eventually gets a drive in a car that has a shot at a win or two.
4: Hulkenberg. He's likable, and if Brazil 2010 is any indication, capable of pulling off some 100% sessions. I could be wrong, but I also get the impression he's had to earn most of his opportunity in the sport, at least in contrast to some heavily-backed drivers.
5: Perez. I tend to discount 'pay drivers', especially any running with the backing of the Carlos Slim/Telmex group. Slim has put some pretty questionable drivers in good cars (see: Memo Rojas), so I half wrote him off. I was wrong, in 2011 Perez, much as Button, caught my eye with some pretty slick driving, and I believe he has genuine talent!
Nope. :up:Quote:

Kimi for quietly managing to rack up fast laps and good performances.
Lewisand all the others for being racers who will push the car and fight for points on a consistent basis. I have much respect for Button (who I think will beat Lewis again this year) and the other drivers who will race with their heads, but I want the people that are exciting to watch.
Pastor may have tossed it on the last lap at Australia, but he only did so because he was racing. Currently Kobayashi is IMO one of the more exciting people to watch. He often pulls off brilliant moves in a car that has in the past been a mid pack car. Perez may not display such moves, but consistently pushes the car IMO.
