I think the F1 drivers are really attractive guys.

I got really into F1 the last couple of months and am just in time for the new season. When I started learning their names I couldn't help but notice that the guys are all really really fit, which I'm sure now has influenced my viewing lmao. I feel so wrong saying this, some of them are so young. None of them are difficult to look at though! Anyone else think so? Do you think they're attractive?

@ISpyCobraKai

The best looking has just retired, Kimi Raikkonen. I still fancy the pants off him though Grin
Couldn’t agree more!

I thought they couldn't be too tall?

maddiemookins16mum · 15/03/2022 18:44

They have tiny waists/hips and bottoms.

maddiemookins16mum · 15/03/2022 18:45

Oh and Montoya (a few years ago) was cute.

@Verstappen

I always loved Jaques Villeneuve.
Me too @Verstappen. 97-99 seasons, with the blonde hair. So hot!

6ft is fairly normal.

You don’t get many above 6”1, although the tallest ever was 6”4.

the80sweregreat · 15/03/2022 18:46

Jensen Button is lovely
The others not so much

beddygu · 15/03/2022 18:47

6ft is fairly normal.

Oh I remember reading Mark W saying he was too big & tall for F1 so assumed his height wasn't the norm.

beddygu · 15/03/2022 18:50

Looking at this 6ft is at the top end of the scale. I'm 5ft 10 so like a tall man.

He was 6ft; there are 4 current drivers who are at least 6ft.

So yes, he’s at the taller end of the scale (in terms of both F1 drivers and adult men), but not exactly an abnormality. There have certainly been taller drivers.

Yes I posted that on the first page.

The tallest is 6”1 and there are three who are 6ft.

I didnt find the drivers of Michael Schumacher's generation to be particularly attractive, maybe I eas too young to appreciate them back then but I am all for the Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton generation of F1 drivers.

beddygu · 15/03/2022 18:56

But the overall average would be shorter than 6ft wouldn't it, which was my point.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 15/03/2022 18:57

I think it's their helmet that does it... Blush

Sadandfedup2 · 15/03/2022 18:59

There's something very attractive about Sebastian and I'm not sure what it is. Charles is an undoubtedly handsome man. Can't say the rest do much for me, Nico Hulkenberg and Kimi were nice. Do we think Lewis is gay? I think he is, but considering he's so outspoken with his causes it doesn't fit why he wouldn't come out? Thoughts?

dumdumduuuummmmm · 15/03/2022 19:07

@FairyCakeWings

They all look too short and tiny to be attractive to me. But then I also think most footballers are too skinny to be attractive too.
Huh? Around here there are loads of footballers and skinny they are not. Tall, well built god like men in the whole. Much broader than the footballers of the 70s and 80s
Copin · 15/03/2022 19:07

@beddygu

Well yes, the average is lower than 6ft, but then 85% of adult men (in the UK) are shorter than 6ft, so that isn’t surprising.

The average height of the current crop of drivers is 1 inch shorter than the average for men in the UK. Basically, F1 drivers are fairly typical in height compared to men in general.

dumdumduuuummmmm · 15/03/2022 19:10

@JuteWeaver

No. They're mostly very, very slim and often quite short. Not attractive to me.
I doubt many of them fancy great galumphing, matronly hipped heifer-like women but we aren't allowed to say that are we
Rantypanties · 15/03/2022 19:13

When I went to the Autosport show in the early 2000s the pit guys said the drivers needed 28 inch waists to sit in the car. I’ll always remember that cause I was very definitely nowhere near that size and declined the opportunity to sit in one of the cars!

declutteringmymind · 15/03/2022 19:18

Toto and Carlos are divine. Then Leclerc.

beddygu · 15/03/2022 19:22

@Copin I just prefer the height & physique of rugby players 🤷🏻‍♀️

A580Hojas · 15/03/2022 19:24

They are very small, like jockeys. I met Sebastian Vettel in 2009, it was like standing next to a 13 year old boy. I find your OP a bit odd tbh.

ManateeFair · 15/03/2022 19:27

Nope. F1 bores me witless and I definitely don’t find the drivers attractive. Just not my thing.

There are plenty of sportsmen I find attractive but they’re all ones who don’t do their sport in a car Grin

Spanglybangles · 15/03/2022 19:27

@Verstappen Was always Jacques Villeneuve for me too!! Senna of course was just a beautiful man. Toto pretty easy on the eye too! Grin
