An idea I got indirectly from Bob Nomates in a rather.. uh.. bizarre thread he started earlier. Well, I can't have anyone being more bizarre than me, so here goes:

UPDATED 4th february

In this thread, you MUST be an avid supporter of the driver whose birthday is closest to yours. To make it easier, and avoid ties and other complications, it's the driver whose birthday is immediately before yours. You can go to the end of the year if neccessary.

So, even if you dislike or don't care for the driver elsewhere, here you'll have to stand up for him.

Be prepared to 'lose' your driver though, as new drivers might appear. But until then, he is your IDOL (in this thread). The list will be updated when neccessary in time for every GP.

Here's the current list:
3rd Jan - 13th Jan: Michael Schumacher
14th Jan - 18th Jan: Giancarlo Fisichella
19th Jan - 3rd March: Jenson Button
4th March - 26th March: Jos Verstappen
27th March - 8th April: David Coulthard
9th April - 9th May: Jacques Villeneuve
10th May - 17th May: Nick Heidfeld
18th May - 20th May: Heinz-Harald Frentzen
20th May - 22nd May: Ralph Firman
23rd May - 29th June: Rubens Barrichello
30th June - 12th July: Ralf Schumacher
13th July - 28th July: Jarno Trulli
29th July - 30th July: Fernando Alonso
31st July - 16th Aug: Justin Wilson
17th Aug - 1st Sept: Mark Webber
2nd Sept - 10th Sept: Olivier Panis
11th Sept - 18th Sept: Antonio Pizzonia
19th Sept: Christiano da Matta
20th Sept - 16th Oct: Juan Pablo Montoya
17th Oct - 2nd Jan: Kimi Raikkonen

Looks like Kimi will have a lot of fans here, but those whose duty it is to support the likes of Fisichella, Frentzen, Alonso or especially da Matta will just have to make them selves that much louder.

FORZA PIZZONIA, WORLD CHAMPION 2004-2006!!!

[wawawa]

Let me see... a very tall man will thrash Michael this year

[Rob G]

GO KIMI!!!

Poor daMatta...

You have got to be F@%king kidding me.

[UPRC]

Scary.... I'm a big fan of Panis and Webber...

(Sept. 3)

[BuonoBruttoCattivo]

9th April - 9th May: Jacque$ Villeneuve

-->9th May:cry:


&$*%()(#$*!@**!!!!!

[Bjorn]

tut-tut-tut...

Avid fans remember. Keep your dislike for your FAVORITE driver elsewhere ;)

[Estwald]

I have to root for Jenson Button? :

Well, at least I still get to root against JVi

[Irvine`s Love Child]

You forgot Eddie Irvine 10th November

If and when Eddie gets the second Jordan seat I`d like to see the dancing banana introduced to the thread.

Who has the dancing banana ??

[confucius]

great...Villeneuve...

[indycarjunkie]

July 31 to August 16.....Justin Wilson!!!!

Justin is going to DOMINATE Minardi! He's going to make Villeneuve his bitch!

[AdrianM]

GO DC This year is his

[George Bailey]

Ralf by a day over Rubens.


Poor Rubens, now he's #2 to Ralf as well.

[Riker!]

LOL Panis and Webber im 2nd of September.

PANIS AND WEBBER TIE FOR WDC 2003!@#!!!!

[The First MH]

Go Monty

[Bruce Moxon]

Oh, great. Jensen Button. Yay, Jensen. Ooh, JB, you da man. Oo baby, oo baby.

No, I am not going to "root" for any of them. I suppose it could have been worse. I mean, for the last year, we've all been mad keen Minardi fans. There's an uplifting experience!

Think that's bad???

I gotta jump on the "BOY BAND" bandwagon!

Go Jenson ya young limey punk with a horseshoe up yer ass!

At least I still get to support Honda!

Feb 15th.

Cheers

Troyf1

[Pikachu Racing]

dammit, I have Jenson Button.

[MONTOYASPEED]

DC :

[squiggle bob]

go ralf, its our birthday...

[Moanaman]

BUGGER!! Dirty Old Jenson Button Even JV would have been better......

[The Kanisteri]

Webber!

[Beamer]

Another weird criterium indeed......

On the other hand.. According to this I must be a JPM fan, and guess what? I am!

In fact, up until 2 years ago I was a Hakkinen fan, who happens to be EXACTLY the same age as myself (date&year!). So for me this criterium seems to work...

[HSJ]

4th Oct - HSJ

17th Oct - Kimi Raikkonen




Naturally...

And guess what? I joined Atlas 17th Oct 2000, on KR's birthday, and that's pure coincidence!

Well, I guess by the rules Bjorn made up I'd be a JPM fan, but like hell! (Actually I like him, but obviously not as much as KR.)

[ferrari_forever]

I get Schumi.

[Earthling]

From this list, it would be Rubens Barrichello for me.....but its Jean Alesi who is closest although he's not in F1 anymore...

Alesi is 1 week b4 my b-day.

[maclaren]

maclaren: in the period of KR

[Jimmy]

DC... Not bad

[Moebius]

Yeah, go Justin! The first ever rookie WDC will sweep a dominant Minardi to their first of a long line of consecutive WCCs, for sure! First ever perfect driver season, pole position, fastest lap and 1st place in every event, having lapped the rest of the field at least twice.

[DoS]

I made a mistake in the beginning and thought that Jos was mine and i was like
But thank god it's

DAVID COULTHARD

[byrkus]

Forza Jacques!

[Formula-1]

FORZA PIZZONIA, WORLD CHAMPION 2004-2006!!!

Schumy

[LuckyStrike1]

JOS VERSTAPPEN - King of the Gravel Traps in 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Viktor]

Juan Pablo Montoya :

/Viktor

[kober]

GO DC!!! You're much better than Kimi!!!

[Mammoth]

[Dudley]

3 days from Alonso. 5 from Wilson.

And I get Jarno "1 lap a weekend" Trulli.

[TAB666]

Forza Montoya !!

[30ft penguin]

Uhm, OK. Let's get this over with.

I am sure Villeneuve will drive some fast laps this year, too. Yeah yeah yeah.

From what I have read so far, quite a lot of people stepped into the "JV" minefield

[tim]

Pizzonia for me too!

[Clone]

Stuck between two of my favs - Ralf and Jarno (the former ahead by two days).

Bizarre thread.

Don't worry, I'll add whoever they pick before Australia. Chances are a few of us will have to switch sides quickly

BTW, if they don't pick Eddie, it could be someone whose bday falls between 9th of April and 9th of May, so take heart JV "fans"

[balaclava]

Go Justin! Put that Minardi on pole!

[red 2]

Kimmi for me.

It´s ok... he is my favourite driver after the brazilians.

Go Kimmi go...

Jos the Boss!!!
