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?)
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
14th September 2011, 2:37 at 2:37 am #178221CalumParticipantSebastian 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.
