I voted for all of them. On average people only seem to like 3 or 4 teams. This seems crazy to me. Surely you should like a team for the very fact they are competing.

Keith,
There´s a way to know from where are coming all this votes?
Wesley said on 3rd July 2008, 23:52
I have a suggestion for the driver poll if you do have one Keith.After you tick your selection for the poll explain WHY the drivers you selected are your favorite.Just from reading the threads on this website it seems some like the aggressive,cocky type and others like thier drivers humble.I think it gives good insight to what your readers like.(I know,…put this in the suggestion box)
This site is getting BIGGER everyday Keith,..kudos.

I support drivers rather than teams, but I do like the underdog teams to do well.

“I voted for all of them. On average people only seem to like 3 or 4 teams. This seems crazy to me. Surely you should like a team for the very fact they are competing.”
A poll asking a persons favourite or most disliked team would’ve been more indicative of this. However, it’s interesting to see how well BMW are doing…and more over, why?
Because they are the underdogs with the best chance of upsetting the top two teams? Is it because they’ve just been quiet amongst everyone’s bickering and accusations that they get on with it…the dark horse? As they have shown competitive spirit with less resources than McLaren/Ferrari? When you think about it BMW as a team name hasn’t been around for that long…so what is it that people base a liking on which teams they support?
Driver? For Brazilians it seems so – double Senna’s McLaren days with Barichello’s days at Ferrari and it’s like a double whammy. Would Massa winning in a Ferrari even change that? Would Massa winning 3 titles in a Ferrari change that? What about people who support Heikki, but not McLaren….Kimi, but not Ferrari?
Team History? No one has been in the game longer than Ferrari, a long and fascinating history – a team still not floated on the stock market – but Williams have a comparable record in a much shorter period of time.
Team origin? Most of my friends who got into F1 in the past decade chose McLaren because it’s a British team. No argument there. But I’m unconcerned about nationality in F1 because it’s so international – and behind the scenes it seems a lot of British guys are working in top positions anyway(Massa’s race engineer for example, Ross Brawn, etc.) – I’ll leave nationality to A1GP.
There’s lots of other factors too, team colours/sponsorships, team ethics, team managers…some less important for some and more important for others – so what are people basing their “like this team” decisions on?

It seems hardly surprising Toyota are dead last…

Lol, I voted for Williams before looking at the current list! Can’t believe they’re out in front. All I can say, you guys must be British & late 30 somethings (like me) or early 40 somethings who grew up with images of Mansell, Prost, Piquet, Hill et al winning pretty much everything in sight… Wish those days would return for the last of the real independent team.

Voted for McLaren and Toro Rosso. McLaren, mainly as they’ve been the team I’ve followed for far too many years, and Toro Rosso because I always liked Gerhard Berger and it would make me smile if his team did well.

Go Team Willy!
Second place, just after BMW (and that’s because all the hype), not bad at all!

Diacho: I helped McLaren overtake the Ferraris once again, such a sweet sight;) But no doubt the race will go down the wire until somebody slaps a 100m$ fine on us.

Hey AndyWolf, life begins at 50 and for the 50 somethings, F1 memories are long
Pink Peril said on 4th July 2008, 3:49
Well, I voted for the teams I like (helping keep McLaren in front of Ferrari) until the FIA declares my vote illegal and overrules it ;)
