Mclaren-British with two British drivers.
Mercedes- German with two German drivers.
Ferrari -Italian with two Italian speaking Latin drivers.

I know F1 isn't about Nationalities but this does add an extra dimension to 2010.

yup, like Race of the champions except its in F1 cars, I don't care who wins as long as it isnt the Germans or the Italians

[suitcase]

I also noticed that. Not that it is extremely important but maybe it adds more fans/support from the countries of origin? Like having your cake and eating it, too?

Guarantee you that if McLaren does well this year, the British media will go on and on how Brits are the best at motorsports.

I think you find that they will say the English are the best. if they do badly then they will be British!

Bit random on the ferrari bit on the grounds the first languages of Alonso and Massa are spanish and portuguese.

Anna didn't say that the Ferrari driver's first languages are Italian. she said they are both Italian speakers. Which is true as both speak Italian fluently.

If you can manage to hear over the English commintator, you will hear both Alonso and Massa argue with one another in Italian. Btw I wonder why Massa chose to approach Alonso by speaking Italian and not Spanish? Although Brazilians speak Portuguese, I thought the majority know Spanish as well?

I don't care who wins as long as it isn't McLaren. So in this case it has to be boo to the Brits. Had the Germans or Latino Speakers been at McLaren it would be boo to them as well. Had the Brists been at Ferrari, then it would be go Brits. In other words, go Ferrari and forget the rest. Although Schumacher at Mercedes (and only Schumacher and not his team mate) is an excaption to this. Go Schumacher as well. (after Ferrari of course).

I think it will add a little bit of excitement to the grid to be honest.

Of course you are (coming from a Brit). Don't expect anyone non British to agree with you however.
