Vettel is the guy if performance doesn't matter isn't he? His wind up and dirty play antics give the sport some soul. It's a brave TP that gives the guy a seat if they expect reliable results... Nonetheless, it'll be a sad day when he goes. He is one of the last of the breed - a slight a2. Lewis Hamilton

hole-ish yet love-able driver 
For me Seb.
I've been a life long Ferrari fan, supporting MS then moved to Massa when MS retired, I remember watching Seb at BMW and Torro Rosso, watched him win his first race with TR and saying future WC. I then relocated to Milton Keynes with Work just as he moved to Red Bull so was support Red Bull as the local team and him as a driver a long with Ferrari and then MS when he came back to Mercedes.
I like the way he keeps himself to himself off the track.
I was super excited when he joined the Scuderia, his years at Ferrari have been annoying to watch though! really cant see him doing anything there next year either.
I really disklike Hamilton, when I say dislike, I will admit hes a quality driver but just don't like him as a person, but saying that, when he joins Ferrari in 2021 suppose I'm going to have to support him as hes at the team I support.

Pretty much the same for me - anyone in the Ferrari (Massa / MS / Rubens / Kimi / Alonso / Vet.. sometimes its not easy!)But Lewis - hes awesome in the car.. just never been his fan.
AND.. (Not the right thread I know) These Ferrari rumors are just mind games to mess with a. Vet & LeClerk over the winter.. b. Merc management.

I hated Alonso until he joined Ferrari haha. But Lewis - hes awesome in the car.. just never been his fan.

I reckon they aren't I think Lewis will say to Mercedes next year that he wants to leave at the end of 2020 for Ferrari, hes always said Ferrari is the team he would like to drive for.

Hard to disagree with any of that. Seb just tends to attract the Schumacher haters, but he works hard, and wants nothing more than to win a World Championship at Ferrari.I've been a life long Ferrari fan, supporting MS then moved to Massa when MS retired, I remember watching Seb at BMW and Torro Rosso, watched him win his first race with TR and saying future WC.

If Hamilton goes to Ferrari, he'll be vilified by the Italian press, because he's not perceived as being much of a team player, and has rather more of an "arrive and drive" attitude. The team, fans and press adored Schumacher for his commitment and work ethic, which Seb has tried to emulate. Hamilton may be one of the best when he's in the car, but he won't win the Tifosi or press over with his attitude when he's off-duty.
Back to the original question:
1. Seb
2. Charles LeClerc, for stepping into a front-running team, and proving himself to be a race-winner and potential Champion.
3. Kimi. For being Kimi.

Tifosi will hate him (Lewis) till he wins that long awaited WDC.If Hamilton goes to Ferrari, he'll be vilified by the Italian press, because he's not perceived as being much of a team player, and has rather more of an "arrive and drive" attitude.

I was out in Maranello earlier in the year spoke to a few locals in the bars and they pretty much said that, suppose it sums me up as well.
I really want to see Mick Schumacher do better in F2 next season and come to Ferrari eventually.

George Russell, just keeps his head down and gets on with it in a poor car, he is quick and has beaten all of the rookie drivers at various times, hopefully he is on a promise from Mercedes.
It must be sickening for him and a real test of his patience to see all 'the others' getting all the column inches and press attention when he knows he is equally as fast, if not faster than them. All the casual F1 fans thinking he's slow because he's always at the back of the grid. I really do hope he gets his chance in some decent machinery in the very near future.Gary29 said:

When you have outperformed your teammate all year yet he manages to score one point and beat you it must be pretty hard to take.The records will show Kubica beat his teammate when we all know he was well beaten.
Kubica has been nowhere this season which was hard to watch at times. Was this due to his own issues or because Russell was just so much fast?
It will be interesting to see how Russell gets on with his new teammate. If he beats him as well then he must surely be moving up the grid in 2021.
If Hamilton was to move to Ferrari in 2021 I would not be surprised to see two free seats at Mercedes.

I've always tended to be a supporter of teams rather than individual drivers. Saying that, I always thought Button was a decent chap and tended to look out for him on track.
Of the current crop, Dan Ricciardo seems a likeable fellow, as much as it pains me to admit that about an Australian sportsman. I don't really know much about the young'uns because I don't follow the social medias or tend to watch the endless drivel that passes for Sky's pre and post race coverage.

Magnussen for being a bit dirty in the car and a bit of a wind-up merchant out of it. His episode of Beyond The Grid showed him to be incredibly grateful and humble about the opportunities he has been given in a way you wouldn't expect given that he's the son of a F1 driver.
Vettel when he's on good form, although I'm struggling to remember when that last was...
LeClerc's maturity is remarkable and he has carried himself immensely well this year - he seems way ahead of Max in this regard, despite Max having been in the sport far longer and being in a more relaxed team, with barely any competition from his teammates.
Norris is amusing but I can't warm to him. Can't put my finger on why. I'm sure he's gutted.
I have huge respect for Hamilton's ability and achievement but, every time I feel fandom sneaking up on me, he does something (off-track) that puts me off him. Again, I'm sure he cries himself to sleep at night over this. I felt the same about Vettel during his time at Red Bull, but for things he did on-track.
Danny Ric does indeed seem to be always up for a laugh, if you have the sense of humour of a 12 year old. I don't find the word "dildo", all on its own, in the least bit amusing, and I'm barely any older than him. Maybe I'm old before my time?
...and they're all quite capable of whinging, even St. Raikkonen of Gelato.
I suppose if you want to be amused, watch a comedian.
