Simple question.

 

Lets who has the biggest support.

but I can only vote for 1 driver  - I support both McLaren drivers equally (+ have a few more favorites)

Team is easy though.

[MrPodium]

Lewis Hamilton and Williams.

[Button4life]

Jenson Button and Toro Rosso

[SCUDmissile]

Will be very interesting to see RedBull, Mercedes and Vettel popularity

[RacingDuck]

Hulkenberg and FI (But not Perez!)
And so far Im the only one

[Ben1445]

I'm not a normal one to support teams. I went with Alonso for driver, as I always have...

But I went with Manor for the team, because I just think 'fair play to them'  

[ch103]

I voted for Lewis and Mercedes.  I also can say that Daniel Riccardio is equally my favorite driver but there is no option for two favorites!

[jonpollak]

I'm supporting Nico and Rikki this season. I've been a Williams man for years and that's not changing.

[paulb]

I like Kimi and therefore Ferrari.

 

But I will also be pleased to see Bottas and Williams do well.

[extremeday]

Ricciardo 

 

It is between McLaren and Red Bull. I voted McLaren because I really like their car and because there are people who seem to know that they are and will always be nowhere. I don't know how people know that, so the underdog gets my vote. Let's see

[Nonesuch]

Voted Ferrari.

 

I don't care much for one driver in particular, but ended up picking Ricciardo because he brought some much needed variety to a couple of races last year (not necessarily those he won).

[Balnazzard]

Kimi and Ferrari ;)

But I'm also cheering for Williams.

[DrF]

I am the only Lotus supporter!

[paulogman]

always been a Williams fan.
of the current drivers I think Alonso is the best

[BRK]

Not a fan of anyone except MS, but I do support Seb Vettel -so Seb and Ferrari. Plus, I like Kimi and an Alonso-less Ferrari, so that's a bonus. Good to be cheering for the red cars, again.

[Bartonz20let]

Lewis Hamilton and Williams.

X2

[Ben1445]

I'm surprised not more people are saying Rosberg...

oh wait...no I'm not. 

If I could have two I would add Nico to my choice.

[Richard T]

Ferrari and pretty equal between Fernando, Kimi and Vettel. I think Seb will bring home the biggest points between him and Kimi.

[sopa]

So, Manor has the fifth biggest fanbase among F1 teams? Wow.

[Stephane]

McLaren, not i like them, but there's Honda

 

 

And Pastor, you never run out of surprises with him.

[Seanspeed]

I feel like I care less and less about drivers. That said, drivers I like are Kimi, Vettel(and I'd say this even if these two weren't driving for Ferrari, just a happy coincidence), Ricciardo, Grosjean and Hulkenberg. I'm also kind of rooting for Verstappen to do well for the time being.

And obviously and most importantly of all, a Ferrari team supporter.

Surprised by the lead of Ferrari in the poll. Guessing when more Brits wake up, that'll change.

Really wow or sarcastic wow? I don't think there were many people watching who weren't happy for them in Monaco, felt for them after Suzuka, and didn't appreciate the work that has got them from the ashes to the grid at Melbourne. I'll be truly happy for them if they survive as a team (and I picked Williams!)

As much as I like to lament the sometimes myopic view of British commentators, let's be fair to British fans: they've always cheered on the spectacle as a whole and there's definitely no lack of Ferrari flags at Silverstone.

[Acathla]

My support goes to Alonso, and normally I'd root for Ferrari but I dislike the Ferrari of Vettel and also dislike the "hardcore" Kimi fans who aren't realistic. Chose for Williams instead.

Not, not sarcastic, just surprised, because as of now the team even barely exists. And I think all smaller teams have their "feel good" moments, yet Manor edges ahead as a true underdog.

[kimster89]

Suprised to see Kimis huge fan base seems to be deminishing. Its now even equal to Alonsos which was never the case until now.

 

Also surprised to see Ferrari having such a huge support. Isnt this a british boards and mclaren should be the top? It looks like the former huge mclaren fan base split to mercedes and williams.

[Anja]

I am the only Lotus supporter!

 

Not really, I'm the other one

[hamilton10000]

Lewis and the mighty Merc

[Imateria]

Jenson and Williams for me.

Hey, I'm not complaining!

Just yesterday, I was walking down the street with my Ferrari jacket on and a guy on a bike stopped for a quick, "Hey I like your jacket"/quick F1 chat.

[turssi]

Ric did something special last season and gets my vote. For the team I picked the reds.

[kpastri]

I don't care much about McLaren but with Honda is a whole different story.
Alonso is the measurement of how good a F1 driver can be

[ANF]

None/None.

[Flamini]

As always Alonso as a driver and this time McLaren as a team. 

[Peter Perfect]

Button and McLaren

Honorable mentions to Ricciardo and Williams

You're reading too much into the poll. It all depends on who vote and who don't. And with Lewis having just won the WDC and Kimi having just had the shittiest year of his career it is more than likely that there are more Lewis fans than Kimi fans roaming these forums at the moment.

Yep, the recent champion factor explains a bit of Lewis' placing this time around (which was not the case one or two years ago as Kimi dominated) as does the fact that this is mainly a British forum.  Kimi's bad year also counts for his descent in popularity of course. SV has also lower liking compared to two years ago, also explained by the bad-year factor, taking into account that he and FA had the most polarizing results as they were close to the best liked but also leaders in disliking.  

[Lord_Shaitan]

Romain Grosjean and Lotus

[kimster89]

Why on earth would somebody cheer for marcus ericsson?

 

he is quite talented on twitter i agree, but not on track. 

[Coral]

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes

[scdecade]

Kimi and Williams

[maximilian]

Why is it SO hard to spell Maarusiaa?

[Jon83]

Alonso / Ferrari

There's more than one reason to support someone. Maybe worth another poll - "Do you believe the driver you primarily support is the best on the grid?"

[ph123]

sebastian vettel/ferrari

[SteF1an]

Vettel / Ferrari 

[WilliamsF1Fan]

Bottas and Williams for me.  Tempted to go for Button, but got to stay loyal to my team!

[hollowstar]

Lewis and Mercedes for me.

Quite surprised to see:
- Lewis ahead and by this margin. I thought Fernando would be leading, or the two of them being neck and neck.
- Jenson getting less support than I expected
- Rosberg having so few votes, and less than Massa or Bottas. It seems many would vote for him as a second choice, but few as their first.

Well, amongst other things he is the only Swede on the grid.
