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?

Kimi’s best moment was undoubtedly with McLaren, when he went out of the GP at Monaco and disappeared. His mechanics were waiting patiently for him to return to the garage but he never appeared.

Twenty minutes later the mystery was solved as the TV camera panned in on his yacht, moored in the harbour, with Kimi settled in the hot tub with a couple of young ladies. Brilliant.

Oh yes Toto is Mercedes Team Principal.

I must be old as the drivers just look like little boys to me. Although LeClerc does look very sweet/twinkly.

Lewis is my favourite of the drivers as he really has had to work for everything he’s achieved. Nearly all the rest have been born into huge wealth and privilege. Not their fault but it just doesn’t sit as well with me. And don’t get me started on Mazepin and Stroll. Mazepin in particular just stamped his feet and daddy threatened to pull all the funding from the team! And he was so rude on the radio! Glad he’s been banned this season

His Yacht is called, One More Toy. Grin

Why would it matter if Lewis was gay though these days, it’s his personal life.

As long as their not breaking the law I don’t care what they do off track.

No I couldn't care less either, I just think it's strange he hasn't come out with him being so outspoken on rights etc. But like you say it's his personal life. Or perhaps he isn't gay at all! Either way he would make someone a fine partner and its a shame he hasn't settled down

Christian Horner is an odious twerp who clearly thinks he’s gorgeous, the way he ditched his first wife for Geri Halliwell said all you need to know about him.

Totally agree.

Supersee · 16/03/2022 08:28

I started off liking Christian but then after reading how he left his long term partner for Geri (who is supremely irritating) left a bad taste in my mouth. It's fun to watch him and Toto though on DTS. Absolutely YES to Toto, Susie is a lucky girl.

Danny Ric isn't bad as far as the drivers go, as is Sainz.

Yes they’re both a pair of complete arseholes.

His own parents wouldn’t go to their wedding. Good for them.

Her birthday message to his daughter was unbelievable!

I have to excuse myself and make a cup of tea whenever Geri appears at F1. It is all about her, obviously!

Tallpaulwho · 16/03/2022 09:43

Re Lewis being gay, he might well be, but as long as he is still racing he might well keep quiet about it, considering how many races take place in countries like Saudi and Bahrain. He suffers from far more abuse than any other driver already. I can imagine it would be so much worse if he was openly gay too.

Lewis and Seb have both been vocal about human rights issues in countries they race in. While there is an argument that F1 should boycott races in places like Bahrain, being there gives them an opportunity to raise awareness. Prisoners in Bahrain wrote to Lewis to thank him for raising the issues there. www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/mar/14/you-are-our-champ-prisoner-bahrain-jail-letter-lewis-hamilton-f1

I hope that link works, it's interesting IMO.

Both Lewis and Seb started out as typically arrogant F1 drivers, but they have matured a lot and are using their influence for something positive at least. I don't give a hoot what any of them look like, but those two have far more of my admiration than any of the others do Smile

Yes same. It’s nauseating.

Although she obviously needs to stick to him like glue at all races/events etc given how she got together with him. He clearly can’t be trusted as far as you could throw him

Had a crush on Alain Prost back in the day.

And Jody Scheckter. I have clearly got a thing for men with curly hair and big noses.

I never liked Seb very much when he drove for Red Bull but I really like him now.

He has a good sense of humour (anyone see him talking to Ted Kravitz about cheese) and seems a caring considerate person. He has been seen picking litter at some tracks.

What you say about Lewis is true. If he is gay, although I don't think he is, it would be best really for him to wait until he comes out of F1 to say so. Of course he doesn't ever have to tell everyone if he doesn't want to.

I think he would get even more hate than he already does. I belong to a lot of F1 groups on facebook and the hate for him is unbelievable.

He has said in the past he would not settle down while still racing because it would not be fair on anyone as he is so committed to racing. He loves children and I think would make a good dad.

Tallpaulwho · 16/03/2022 12:14

@mydogisthebest agree pretty much with all you have said. Reddit and Twitter are also cesspits of thinly veiled racism towards Lewis.

I hate hate the booing at the tracks, no driver should be booed but it's excessive for Hamilton and only Hamilton most of the time. Silverstone and Interlagos are the only tracks he doesn't get booed at.

Icantfindanewname · 16/03/2022 13:40

James Hunt
Toto Wolfe
Jenson Button
David Coulthard. I had been cuddled (sadly that was all) by DC 😍. I am 5'10", he is not. Very lean and thin arms, but oh that accent! (Still would Blush)

ISpyCobraKai · 16/03/2022 14:31

DC was my first love in F1 but I'm afraid Kimi ousted him!

I was in Edinburgh the other week, at the National Portrait gallery and saw this.
I loved it so much I went back twice to look at it again.

Susi Wolff always comes across very well trackside or on DTS IMO. Pretty much the opposite of Geri Horner.

Absolutely. That and her invaluable F1 expertise Wink

ISpyCobraKai · 16/03/2022 18:03

I can't stand her or her ridiculous white clothes.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/03/2022 18:11

Never been a susie fan myself.

I love Teds notebook though.

Tallpaulwho · 17/03/2022 15:26

Regarding the thread title, Nico Hulkenberg is racing this weekend instead of Vettel, as Vettel has covid.

Fans of "attractive" F1 drivers might want to look him up. Wink

He's affectionately known as Uuuullkkenbuuuuuurggg in our house after a DTS episode where Danny Ric pronounced his name like to that. Grin

I’ve been ignoring this thread as none of the current drivers appeal to me, only clicked on when I’d seen that the hulk would be racing this weekend. He is a wonderful looking man.
Supersee · 17/03/2022 16:41

@Verstappen everytime I hear Hulkenberg that's how I hear it in my head after watching that episode with Danny Ric 😂

Sadandfedup2 · 20/03/2022 19:59

After seeing today's podium I'd have to agree with your title OP!
