Who did you support in the recent title battles? (22 posts)

    Well, it’s all in the title.

    2005 – Alonso of course, becasue I don’t like Kimi Raikkonen
    2006 – Alonso again, but in Brazil I was cheering for Michael after his wonderful drive.
    2007 – Alonso, but I was loving the surge of Hamilton.
    2008 – Massa, because I tipped him for the title at the end of 2007, though I liked Kubica.
    2009 – Rubens, overall because it was his last chance, but I thought that about Webber in 2009.
    2010 – Alonso, but I wouldn’t mind it if Webber wins.

    Carry on guys.

    2005- Alonso.
    2006- I’m a Ferrari fan so I had to support Michael btu secretly I had a soft spot for Fernando and I thought he drove better that year and full deserved it so I was pretty happy at the end of Brazil.
    2007- Kimi. I had to as he was in the Ferrari and I did like him but still had a soft spot for Fernando although I really didn’t want either of the Mclaren guys to win after everything that had happened that year it would have felt wrong.
    2008- Massa.
    2009- Rubens. Good guy, drove his socks off esp when the brakes suited him more but he didn’t do the jobb at the end of the day.
    2010- Alonso but I wouldn’t begrudge Webber the crown.
    2011- Massa ;P I’m optimistic!

    Yes, Massa will be good next year hopefully!

    2005: Alonso. Seemed to me like a good guy atm.
    2006-2008: Whoever was driving a Ferrari. Schumi cause it was his last year at F1 (…it seemed so didn’t it!), Kimi cause he deserved it and Massa cause you know I respect the guy
    2009: Vettel, having dubbed him as the new Schumacher
    2010: Webber, having undubbed Vettel as the new Schumacher

    1970 Jackie Stewart
    1971-2010 Ferrari
    That was easy enough.

    Might as well do them all:

    1996 – Hill
    1997 – 2002 Schumacher
    2003 took a year out
    2004 – Schumacher
    2005 – 2006 didn’t watch
    2007 – 2008 Hamilton
    2009 – Webber, then Barrichello
    2010 – Hamilton (Webber if the former is out of contention)

  • Profile picture of sw6569 sw6569 said 2 years, 7 months ago:

    05 – Kimi
    06 – Alonso (although Schumachers Brazil drive made me think he probably deserved it more..)
    07 – Hamilton
    08 – Hamilton or Kimi
    09 – Button
    10 – Webber (although Button a close second).

    Not sure I support the underdog, just those who have driven in such a way that I feel they deserve the championship – with skill and passion!

    OK, here is how it went:

    1997-2004 Schumacher
    2005 – Alonso
    2006 – Schumacher
    2007 – Alonso (some kind of ‘bad romance’, I guess)
    2008 – Hard choice. I supported Massa as a driver but, at the same time, I thought McLaren as a team deserved the title more than Ferrari. Especially after Hamilton got the penalty in Belgium.
    2009 – Actually I just enjoyed the great battle
    2010 – Mega hard choice. Probably Webber. I think that RBR’s first title would be a great thing and that Webber needs a compensation for the bad luck that he had through all the years. But actually I think that I just keep enjoying the great battle…

    1995 – Hill
    1996 – Hill
    1997 – Hill, but he didn’t have a real chance, so Villenueve (still hadn’t forgiven MSC for Adelaide 94 and I partly blamed Frenntzen for Hill leaving Williams)
    1998 – Coulthard/Hakkinen
    1999 – Coulthard/Hakkinen
    2000 – Coulthard/Hakkinen
    2001 – Coulthard/ Hakkinen
    2002 – 2004 Coulthard, but I’d cheer on anybody but MSC (Still hadn’t forgiven him, and when you throw Jerez 97 into the mix…)
    2005 – Raikkonen
    2006 – Raikkonen
    2007 – Hamilton
    2008 – Hamilton
