2014 F1 Drivers Champion

[Melman Giraffe]

So who's going to be our Drivers champion 2014?

Button for me

[RXED]

Could never support him, but this year has to be Lewis Hamiltons!

[Lincsblokey]

I voted Kimi, but I'm 50/50 on him or Jenson.

[ewenm]

I think I'll wait until after the Bahrain tests

Lewis or Nico. Voting Nico because of Lewis' mood swings.

[HTP99]

Button for me this year.

[anonymous-user]

I think Button has a good chance, excepting Mclaren's propensity over recent years to snatch failure from the jaws of success.

Lewis or Button, Cant make up my mind

[sanf]

I've gone for Button - one for his dad.

Hope it is a battle of the Brits - and not just a Red Bull fest this year. Early signs look encouraging.

Lewis vs. Nico could be interesting - if Hammi is happier in the car now he's been there a year - would be good to see him really lead the team. Hopefully he will be less moody....

[Stedman]

I've voted for Kimi, but my god i'd love Button to do it!

I think this year is gonna be pretty interesting :^)

I couldn't bring myself to click anyone else's... radio checkbox.

Voted Button as I think McLaren will be the team most without conflicts during the year.

Is the merc looking good? I think with the car/team delivering lewis moods won't be an issue.

Clicked on lewis but wanted to vote Rosberg, that Mercedes car looks the one to beat currently. I secretly really want Fernando to get another title but I don't know if the Ferrari can match that Merc sadly, its also unknown what will happen if Kimi gets under his skin like Hamilton did back in his McLaren days.

I know theres a lot of clean paper regarding the cars this year but mclarens problems were more than just the dog they were driving last year.

At this early stage at least, the Mercedes has been doing a lot of running without any apparent drivetrain reliability issues which is good. Lewis and Nico sounded positive about the Jerez test and both banged in some decent times. I believe in Lewis' pace but not necessarily his consistency.

The Mclaren was looking good too, and Button is a good bet, but I have a suspicion that Maclaren's aero might be a bit suspect when it comes to regs.

I've never understood the optimism that surrounds button on this site before a race year. It was the same last year iirc. He's a solid driver and will be the no.1 at McLaren (I assume so anyway) but he needs a car that really suites him to be a championship contender and in a year of so many changes I don't think he'll get that.

I'm going to go with Alonso.

[Muntu]

Massa

[LiamM45]

Nico for me, possibly the best car and I think he's more consistent than Lewis.

Red Bull will be playing catch up, and if Ricciardo gives Vettel a good run, I'm not sure how he will react.

I think Raikkonen will get the better of Alonso but they'll be both be up there.

Button could be up there, if the McLaren is good I think his driving will suit the new regulations.

[Hub]

Button will need a Brawn like advantage again to win, as I'm not convinced he's that quick these days - and I don't think that will happen.

It's a bit early to say but I'll go with Mercedes and Rosberg of the two then
