Describe each driver in one word (32 posts)

    While reading Rib khalifa’s post about describing F1 in one word a post from 2007 on F1Fanatic sprung to mind, except it was describing each driver individually. It’s quite funny to see how things have changed, or haven’t, here’s a few I found quite interesting:

    “Mark Webber – Unlucky”
    “Robert Kubica – Fortunate”
    “Robert Kubica – Crashmeister”
    “Lewis Hamilton – Impatient”
    “Felipe Massa – Nearly Man” (Can’t get much closer than one corner)
    “Felipe Massa – teamplayer”
    “Sebastian Vettel – Fast”
    “Sebastian Vettel – rainmaster” (Is this guy psychic?)

    http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2007/11/19/debate-describe-each-driver-in-one-word/#comments

    So I’d like to see, almost 4 years on, how our opinions have changed;

    Sebastian Vettel – Lucky
    Mark Webber – Starts
    Lewis Hamilton – Frustrated
    Jenson Button – Relaxed
    Fernando Alonso – Quick
    Felipe Massa – Lost
    Michael Schumacher – Revitalised
    Nico Rosberg – Disappointed
    Nick Heidfeld – Court
    Bruno Senna – Impressive
    Vitaly Petrov – Declining
    Rubens Barrichello – Consistent
    Pastor Maldonado – Inconsistent
    Adrian Sutil – Ageing
    Paul di Resta – Fresh
    Kamui Kobayashi – Lackluster
    Sergio Perez – Promising
    Sebastian Buemi – Worsening
    Jaime Alguersuari – Improving
    Heikki Kovalainen – Talent
    Jarno Trulli – Steering
    Narain Karthikeyan – Nationality
    Daniel Ricciardo – Future
    Viantonio Liuzzi – Steady
    Timo Glock – Wasted
    Jerome d’Ambrosio – Invisible

    Sebastian Vettel – Underrated*
    Mark Webber – Unlucky
    Lewis Hamilton – Irritating**
    Jenson Button – Impressive
    Fernando Alonso – Outperforming
    Michael Schumacher – Wiley
    Nico Rosberg – See Mark Webber
    Nick Heidfeld – Sacked
    Paul di Resta – Future
    Kamui Kobayashi – Disapointing
    Jaime Alguersuari – Improving
    Heikki Kovalainen – Determined
    Daniel Ricciardo – Practicing
    Timo Glock – Wasted
    Jerome d’Ambrosio – Who?

    * Considering his acheivements irrespective of machinery, he deserves more credit than he gets from fans, although more people are begining to realise now, and no doubt when the inevitable is confirmed later this year (WC2010,WC2011) he should get the respect.

    ** Still a huge fan but Lewis is irritating this year, almost byt not quite, shown glimmers in Spain, China and Germany but it just hasn’t clicked – whether his mind set os all wrong because of the slower car or whatever? That’s for another time anyway.

    Vettel: complete
    Webber: lacklustre
    Alonso: best
    Massa: Improving (I think that’s the best one yet for him PortuGoose)
    Hamilton: over-promising
    Button: there. (I was tempted to say “binman” as he keeps clearing up Ham’s mess for Mclaren by bringing in solid points)
    Rosberg: contender
    Schumacher: back.
    Petrov: quiet.
    Senna: mature
    Kobayashi: slow
    Perez: smooth
    Sutil: failing

    Trulli: stronger
    Ricciardo: talented
    Liuzzi: bowling (sorry couldn’t help it after Monza)
    Glock: gloomy
    d’Ambrsio: sometimes. It’s difficult to know with Jerome because sometimes like earlier in the year he was outqualifying Timo but now he seems more out of his depth.
