Who is the most likeable current driver in formula one?

I thought it would be interesting to get peoples opinion on who they like as a person rather than who they think is the fastest/best driver and see if it makes the same usual drivers on top (But/Ham/Vet etc.).

First I thought of doing a poll, but there can be only 15 choices and it could also be difficult to pick only one them. So I figured we can pick three drivers each, starting with the most likeable who gets three points, second optiong gets two points and third option gets 1 point.

This is ONLY about being positive and look at drivers positive sides! Please refrain from negativity and respect other peoples opinion.

I will edit/update this first post as new replies comes in. (last update: #73)

* Reserve/Test drivers.​

 

Here is my votes:


3pts to Button
2pts to Senna
1pt to Räikkönen

 

They're all cut throat, but if I had to pick I'd go for

1. Button (3pts)
2. Perez (2..)
3. Alonso (1..)

But as a McLaren fan I'm sure that I (like most others) may struggle with bias.

 

I'd say:

1st: Perez
2nd: Kovalainen
3rd: Button

 

Easy, your favourite driver.

EDIT: Better be serious.
1)KOV
2)GLO
3)ALO

 

1: Senna
2: Kovalainen
3: Hulkenberg

 

1. Kovaleinen, he just seems too nice for F1
2. Button
3. Kobayashi

 

ahh yeah, Kovi.... hmmmmm, Now hat do I do

 

1 - Kovi
2 - Button
3 - Rosberg

 

Updated

 

3pts Button
2pts Senna
1pt Kobayashi

 

1. Kobayashi
2. Button
3. Kovalainen

 

I'm not sure I have a good handle on how any of them really are "as a person". There are a few who seem like decent blokes - Button, Kovalainen, Petrov, for example - but I'm only really aware of their public personae. If I 'like' any of them based on what little I know about personality then it would be those who seem the most interesting characters:

3pts Alonso
2pts Raikkonen
1pt Vettel

 

1 - Button [3pts]
2 - Alonso [2pts]
3 - hmm, not really sure tbh. Maybe Webber, dunno why just like the fella [1pt]

 

1st. Button
2nd. Webber
3rd. Raikkonen

 

I completely agree, I like him too, just too many to choose from. I thought of a top 5 or even top 10 but that would only give me headache to update

I am surprised that Ricciardo and Grosjean didn't receive any votes yet. They are both always so happy :O

 

1. Kovalainen (I follow him on twitter, and some of the stuff he comes out with is golden) [3 pts]
2. Button (Always seems to be a nice guy, whatever the circumstances) [2 pts]
3. Raikkonen [1 pts]

Special Mention: Rosberg

 

1st: Kobayashi
2nd:Heikki
3rd:Grojsean

 

Can I give all my points to Kobayashi?

I love his tweets, they always make me chuckle.

 

What is he saying? I only follow Senna and Schumacher atm.
