F1 drivers can be boring in the car, but charismatic out of it. They can also be exciting to watch on the circuit, but when you talk to them, you will just wanna fall asleep!

So who is the most boring F1 driver out of the cockpit? Plenty of nominations, and I can see that Nigel Mansell will get plenty of nominations, but the one who tops mine of course is Raikkonen.

Only KR could ever win this. Good aggressive driver in the car, boring as hell to talk to, but is also a lover of extreme sports. So quite a contrast really!

Raikkonen boring? On the contrary, Kimi is one of the most charismatic drivers on the grid! Sure, he may sound like he has throat cancer during post race conferences but which other would strip in a London bar?

Yup, can't remember who said it, but apparantly you can't shut Kimi up when he's on a night out.

I never said he has a boring life, but to talk to . . . . watching paint dry is far more exciting!

That's just the typical Finnish conversation.

And Mansell was no bore outside the track! Get your facts straight!

Mika Hakkinen amongst the ex-drivers, and Webber amongst the current crop. He's kinda whitebread, you know?

If anything I think Webber moans, complains and bitches too much and makes slanderous "B Team" comments. It's no wonder Coulthard's enjoying himself so much at Red Bull at the moment and Webber isn't.

Whats whitebread meant to mean? i thought he looks like Roger Ramjet, he is the hero of our nation

[vegas]

Never heard of the term whitebread before. But now that I think about it yeah he is a bit of whitebread

[darwin dali]

Belonging to the class of bland, clean-cut, middle-of-the-road suburbanite breeders. The Cleavers from the old TV show "Leave It To Beaver" are a familiar archetype of whitebread culture. Compare to yuppie.

The term implies profound cultural naïvete, blind consumerism, and an unquestioning "follower" mindset. Common trappings of the whitebread lifestyle include golf, Kenny G and Enya CDs, SUVs, an irrational fixation on lawn care, Golden Retrievers, nominally Christian religious beliefs, Old Navy clothing, moderate to conservative political views, bad Chardonnay, equally bad espresso, cookie-cutter houses, Bath & Body Works hygiene products, and very white-collar employment.

Though whitebread individuals are usually white, the term is not necessarily racial in meaning - the implication lies more with the blandness, predictability, and banality of plain white bread. Accordingly, "wonderbread" is often used as a synonym.

Really? I reckon Webber doesn't bitch and moan as much as he could, especially last season when Williams couldn't build a car that could last a race.

You're quite upset about that "B Team" comment aren't ya? Third time I've seen you say it when you see Webber's name pop up on a thread...

Perhaps Williams did something to piss him off and he's getting a bit of his own back...

He's right that the car was more unreliable than the Life L190, but there was no need to go out and call Williams the Toyota B team, when technically that could also have meant Red Bull were also the Renault B team.
