f1 drivers personal cars

[Dare]

  anybody know what type of cars the drivers own,just curious

[Wizzo]

I've looked just about everywhere for this info dare, and I can't find a thing. I suppose with the money they earn they can drive just about anything they want to.

As I'm sure you know, drivers for teams such as McLaren will automatically be given a Mercedes and BMW-Sauber a BMW etc etc. I remember poor old Damon Hill driving for Williams-Renault back in the 90's being given their 'top' car - a Safran - nice! 

What F1 drivers personally choose to drive remains a mystery, unless anyone else knows out there?

There was an article in F1 racing magazine a few months ago.  It covered the cars that all the drivers have.  I can't make any promises, but i'll see if i can find the magazine and scan the article for you.

You can attach a file to a thread by using the 'Additional Options' below the text box and simply browsing for the file on your PC. Any probs then let me know.

Sorry for the delay guys. Romephius has kindly sent me the scanned pdf and I have put a link to it below. 

The file is about 3.5mb.

   Really surprized me seeing Ralph and Jarno driving
   nothing but Toyotas and poor Speed driving a Focus.
   Giancarlo driving renaults made me wonder if they have
   improved?They used to be so bad they stopped selling
   in USA along with Fiat

[romephius]

Hey come on now.......i drive a focus......they are pretty good.  But it was surprising with some of the drivers and what they have.

   no offense intended,actually I'm looking to buy
   a hatchback and looking at versa's,focus,and even
   a hyundi accent with their 10 yr warranty

best thing about the hatch, you can park almost anywhere, they are great on fuel and if you are that way inclined you can "trick" them out.  Not my thing personally but hey.  Good luck with the shopping dare.

I wasn't offended either.  Just trying to be funny.  But i do love my focus.
