First, a short intro:

Many pro-driver or driver-neutral threads on here devolve into bad-mouthing a driver. We all know how it goes. So I want to create a place where people can come and maybe expend some of that negative energy.

Also, I think that complaining can be a good way to bleed off stress.

So, no excessive defending of drivers in this thread. Chances are, if you clicked on this thread, you're going to read something mean spirited and maybe even patently untrue about a driver you rate highly, so deal with it!

OK, I'll start:

I dislike David Reutimann cos when Juan Pablo Montoya accidentally bumped him in the last race, he said "we just got bumped by that Mexican" in a very derisive tone.
Atreiu
Irvine. Talked too much for someone so slow. It was like Schumacher and him weren't even in the same car.

I used to dislike Massa. But changed my mind completely.

On top of my little black list nowadays is Marco Andretti.

I still think Hamilton is an arrogant little twerp and his psuedo-humbleness is getting on my tits. Oh, and his dad isn't much better either.

Absolutely!

One driver per post, but I'll go again: Jaques Villeneuve. Mostly cos of an interview I saw of a Formula One reject who portrayed him as an immature, backstabbing jerk.

Would that be Ricardo Rosset?

I dislike Nelson Piquet Snr for his arrongance and comments made about Senna.

Raikkonen. Bores me senseless, irritates me that he's wasting a perfectly good seat due to the fact he appears to have very little interest in F1 any more.

This thread is like watching someone blow up a balloon, it just has to burst sooner or later.

Nelson Piquet Sr...I never warmed to him and I thought his comments about Senna and Mansell were out of order. I was not at all happy when he joined Lotus.
JdB
I have two : Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve ... but only when they were racing, now they don't nother me no more ... of the modern drivers, there isn't one that is annoying enough to hate ... they're just media puppets ...

Nelson Piquet Sr.
Yellowmc
Alonso, he threw his toys out of the pram on many occasions and was battered at McLaren.

Rubens, never saw the point in him as a driver.
Seanspeed
EJ Viso - has no concept of how to race alongside others and absolutely never admits fault when he's done something idiotic, which tends to happen a lot.

I'm sure Piquet Snr would anwser that the driver he disliked most was Senna.

Having a second thought, Piquet may choose Mansell... he really disliked him.

I dislike DC for this stupid remarks towards other drivers... - bashing Montoya and calling him a monkey many years ago.

He also disrespected Massa and apparently was going to beat the shit out of him but it was all talk..

the fool could never get over JPM taking his ride at mclaren.

Someone else dislikes DC pretty much.

Hamilton, he's an arrogant jerk and i was appalled when he called a back marker a "Monkey". (Can't remember who)

He is also a dangerous driver in my view and has no respect for other drivers.

Plus i cannot stand that cheating Mclaren team.

Yes it wasn't a great time for me tongue.gif

Don't know if it's just me but the drivers seem more likeable now. I thought PK jr was going to be the resident bad guy but he's quite shy actually.

This thread is just inviting stupid arguments and i suspect one will occur very soon, I don't dislike any driver/rider. You accuse some of being arrogant but I call that self-belief, people really overuse the term arrogant.

Who do you support, because i can bet my bottom dollar they've cheated too. Also Hamilton was referring to backmarkers in general and i'm fairly certain he'd tell you himself that was an ill-advised comment. Also what is your basis for the 'dangerous driver' comment and 'no respect for other drivers,' comment?

Whilst I agree with this to an extent, Piquet Snr's comments about Mansell and Senna made me dislike him.

I support Williams, when have they cheated?

Ill-advised comment or not it was ridiculous.

Basis for dangerous driver, nearly running Webber off the course at Monza last year, his over exuberant start at Fuji

Basis on no respect, the comment he made about Raikkonen after Spa, saying 'he didn't 'have the balls' to beat him, even Kubica said drivers should have fundemental respect for each other.

arrogant and self-belief are two different things..

Only driver I 've ever disliked was Our Nige ... Hated the constant use of regal we, the tash and the fact he gave birth to the concept of whiners.

EDIT: Oh lord ... can't fanbois for once let people openly express their opinions without feeling the need to jump in and defend/negate point by point? Thread is about who don't you like not about who is the universally accepted unlikeable driver. It's ok for people to not like whoever you support, let it be.

Since all of that he's joined the GPDA. Also he was kind of right about Kimi not 'having the balls' to beat him in Spa, also what do you expect him to say after he's just had a win taken off him. As for over exuberant Safety Car restarts what do you expect to see when he's grown up watching Schumacher. As for Williams cheating, it think it is fairly obvious all F1 teams cheat in relation to bending the rules and copying other teams designs.

Well, it's you who started the arguing, up to that people only stated their feelings. You're quite right it was always going to end that way, but you could have left it to someone else to break the spell...

Obviously, I was commenting(perhaps somewhat unclearly) self-belief is often confused with and interpreted as arrogance

The thread was going great until you started and a) started an argument with the OP and immediately thereafter, b) argued with the guy who hates the Cheaty McCheatersons known as McLaren lol.

So it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bravo. <golf clap>

He may have been right, but there are some things you say and some you just dont.

Oh you reminded me of another, both races at Fuji he was idiotic both at the start of 08 and the restart of 07.

You can't blame Schumacher lol

Your comment about Williams 'Cheating' is flaud as i was talking about specific times where a team has diliberatley tried to gain an distinctive advantage through someone else, aka Spying Scandal, Renault were just as bad.

Yeah i'm going to stop defending anyone, I kind of feel a bit stupid commenting that an argument was going start before duly starting one. In fact considering I don't dislike any driver/rider I shouldn't have even bothered reading this article blush.gif

It's ok i'm going to stop. You dislike Hamilton and McLaren and I see no point in trying to influence that opinion. BTW it's flawed and deliberately. Being a McLaren fan i felt compelled to defend my team and i would like to apologise for wasting everyone's valuable time and what had been an enjoyable thread.

This is very close because I liked both of these drivers very much till recently Lewis Hamilton takes 1 because I dont like how he plays off everything only to find out he is lying him self. But I have to go with Alonso because of the how he handled his situation at McLaren. I still think he is the best driver but for sure what went on at McLaren was not very good and McLaren was still somewhat my favorite team at the time.
