OK guys, we all have favourite drivers etc but if you owned your own F1 team would you have say Lewis as your #1 if not what would driver lineup be? And why?

First post in a few years!!

I'd most likely try to have an experienced driver leading the team (Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, Button, etc would be obvious contenders given their obvious talent and prior success). Otherwise seasoned veterans would be reliable and do the job needed (Hulkenberg, etc).

And then I'd have a younger, more upcoming driver in the second seat. I quite like Kevin Magnussen, I'd probably give him another chance.

I don't know. But I have a theory that perhaps all these top drivers drive in an imperious, composed manner when their car is league above the rest. Lewis last year and this year, Vettel all those years they dominated (then last year he became flustered, no longer composed and imperious), I actually became to think Vettel during his dominating years was a cut above the rest, even better than Alonso, he was much more composed than Alonso...the spaniard is fiery but still he gets results even when he gets angry, but that's only in Ferrari when he was at McLaren the first time, Lewis was beating him and his anger was working against him and he was no longer getting results, so he was just as affected like the other top ones (Vettel, Hamilton) are when they lose composure...

That's why I say I don't know.
