I've been following F1 off and on for about 40 years since I was a kid.
Its one of those strange sports where as a fan you can have multiple "favourites".
I'm quite fickle as a fan...I started off liking MSC right up to the moment he nerfed Hill off in Australia to take his first DWC...then that was it for me.
I can't abide bad sportsmanship which in that case was really just cheating.
Similarish for Senna, a mesmerising driver but not really a very good sportsman.
I was really happy for Damon when he got his DWC, he seemed like a proper gent and a way better driver than he was given credit for. The way Williams and Head dumped him was disgraceful.
Of the current batch I like Ricciardo, Leclerc and Russell.
Leclerc in particular looks like the best driver currently in F1 whose name isn't Hamilton.
Can't abide Magnussen and Verstappen.
