Follow UK Immigration and UK Life: According to statistics from the renowned racing website F1 Fanatic, Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen, who has just joined the Ferrari team, unexpectedly surpassed two British local drivers, Hamilton and Button, to become the favorite among British fans. In the selection of the most popular team, perhaps because Red Bull's dominance has bored the audience, they only ranked fifth, becoming the lowest-ranked major team.
According to statistics from the renowned racing website F1 Fanatic, Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen unexpectedly surpassed Hamilton and Button to become a more popular driver among British fans. Although Raikkonen's performance this season was average, and he missed the last two races of the season due to a back injury, finishing only fifth in the annual driver standings, he still conquered British fans with his personal charm.
Previously, Hamilton's status as an idol in the hearts of British fans was unshakable, but this time Hamilton not only lost to Raikkonen but also ranked behind local British driver Button, ultimately finishing third. It should be noted that Button did not stand on the podium once this season.
Among other drivers, Alonso ranked fourth, and Webber surpassed Vettel to rank fifth. Sharing the same "misery" as Vettel is the Red Bull team; perhaps because the Red Bull team was too strong, it annoyed British fans, and they ultimately only ranked fifth, becoming the lowest-ranked major team. Although McLaren was a complete failure in the past 2013 season, it is still the favorite of British fans, with Ferrari, Lotus, and Mercedes ranking second to fourth.
