The American Fangirl’s Guide to Formula One: Who’s Who

Formula One season is getting ready to gear up, and this little fangirl is giddy. Even though, the start of the start of the racing season means an awful lot of sleepless weekends for your’s truly... I still find myself following the sport. 

Winter testing has all ready started in earnest, and the first race of the season (the Australian Grand Prix) is scheduled for March 20th. 

In the coming weeks leading up to the race, I’ll be doing write-ups on some of the prominent figures within the sport. 

Below is a (tongue in cheek, obviously... we’re all a bit biased....) breakdown of who’s who in the sport, and were the fall, coming from a nerd-based perspective. 


Mercedes: The First Order of Formula One
Nico (Kylo) Rosberg and Lewis (General) Hamilton
You’ve dominated the last two years... give someone else a chance...

Red Bull: The Once Evil Empire of Formula One or The Interns Took Over the Death Star
Danill (Darth Vader Jr.) Kvyat and Daniel (The Interim Emperor) Ricciardo 
They’re a lot cuddlier and likable now...



Ferrari: The Up and Coming Resistance
Sebastian (Poe Dameron) Vettel and Kimi (Finn) Raikkonen

They’re a surprisingly fun pair.













The Once Great McLaren Empire... the Jedi’s car is stuck in the Degobah system
Jenson (Luke Skywalker) Button and Fernando (Obi Wan Kenobi) Alonso

Jenson Button: Yesterday, today and forever.













The Other Guys or Williams the Little Team that Could
Felipe (BB-8) Massa and Valtteri (...the Other Finn...) Bottas


Felipe Massa is quite literally the little droid that could.
