@MazdaChris Considering all the Spaniards I know smoke like chimneys, DLR wouldn’t be a bad bet. Although, most of them don’t only smoke tobacco. Not that I judge people for smoking, but I’d love to satisfy the curiosity about who is the chain-smoker in the group.

Well, smokers usually have a huskiness to their voice as a result of the habit.
Listening to Maldonado, I don’t think it’s him.
Kimi makes a rather coarse sound when he umms and ahhs, and considering his reputation as being a bit wild, it fits.

Plus, the photo of him with a cigarette, and the photo of him with snus.

I immediately thought of Maldonado, although the facts I’ve read here about Raikkonen make me wonder whether it’s really him.

I remember seeing an post quali interview with di Resta once and as he was coming out of his garage it looked like he had a packet of cigarettes in his hands. Obviously it probably something else but it wouldn’t surprise me if either of the Force India drivers smoked.

Also, anyone else find it pretty funny that Nico is complaining about chain smokers when his own father was one.

Pedro it is! The pipe was obviously photoshopped out of this picture: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/rosa_perez-sala_jere_2012.jpg

@wdf2 That’s genius!

@DaveF1 Nico’s not complaining – just telling the journalist that he was wrong to say smoking was incompatible with the modern sport.

I think it’s Narain alonso or Schu. Pedro is a good guess too,given that he sounds like he smokes.

I doubt it would be one of the younger drivers seeing as smoking is very far from trendy these days, I and other people at college used to give the smokers a hard time (especially when they lit up right next to me!), that was only a couple of years ago.

Funny how noone’s said a French driver yet, given the stereotype.

I’m guessing it’s either Massa, Ricciardo or Kobayashi. I don’t have anything to back this theory up, but since we’re all pretty much guessing there’s my random choice!

Maybe it’s Nico himself. Either that or it’s an early start to the mind games with Lewis Hamilton.
But I’m not ruling out the story being, like many other ones from GMM, bollocks.

If we’re stereotyping why not mention the French drivers. I personally hate smoking and what it does to people and can’t see a serious athlete chain smoking but as others have said, so what.

I’d be tempted to say Kimi considering his love of alcohol and the extra enjoyment that a smoke brings to the booze experience

I remember Jackie Stewart blaming Jan Magnussen’s smoking habit for his lacklustre performances in his team, shortly before taking the poor guy out for driving lessons…
