F1 Fanatic played this game and I thought I would too. I haven’t looked at their choices, so I’m interested to see how opinions match. Here goes, in 2007 Championship points order:
- Kimi Raikkonen – opposite
- Lewis Hamilton – future
- Fernando Alonso – headstrong
- Felipe Massa –
- Nick Heidfeld – fourth
- Robert Kubica – crash
- Heikki Kovalainen – young
- Giancarlo Fisichella – fragile
- Nico Rosberg – younger
- David Coulthard – chin
- Alexander Wurz – tester
- Mark Webber – unlucky
- Jarno Trulli – muddled
- Sebastien Vettel – upcoming
- Jenson Button – yesterday
- Ralf Schumacher – retire
- Takuma Sato – prone
- Vitantonio Liuzzi – bling
- Adrian Sutil –
- Rubens Barrichello – poor
- Scott Speed – americanscottspeedfrommantecacalifornia
- Kazuki Nakajima –
- Anthony Davidson –
- Sakon Yamamoto – slow
- Christijan Albers –
- Markus Winkelhock – records
A few explanations are in order, I think. Kimi is “opposite” because he seems to be the opposite of what everybody thinks of him. For some stupid reason his nickname is “Iceman” because he’s cool and collected, when he’s nothing of the sort! He’s a throwback to the playboy driver years of the 70s. He shoves course workers when he’s crashed. He always — always — takes a nice long swig out of the bottle of champagne when he’s on the podium. He’s about as far from an “iceman” as you could get.
Nick Heidfeld is “fourth” because he always seemed to place fourth this season.
Jenson Button is the British driver of “yesterday”, thanks to Lewis Hamilton.
Takuma Sato is accident-”prone”, crash-”prone”, and also excitement-”prone”, such as when he overtook Fernando Alonso in the closing laps of the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.
Rubens Barrichello is “poor”, as in “poor Rubens crashed again” or “poor Rubens has a shitty car”.
The ones that are blank I couldn’t think up names to. My faithful readers can undoubtedly come up with some good one-word descriptions!
