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.

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.

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.
Otherwise, what Gypsy said, except for the tits part.
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.
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 ...

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
