Are you a motor-racing fan, or a fan of a driver?

A comment in another thread got me thinking:

A viewer concentrating on one driver, to the extent they're not following the race overall.


Clearly he's a diehard fan of that driver.


I see myself as a fan of motor-racing in general - and while I have some favoured drivers and teams, I'm not myopic towards any of them.

I try to concentrate on the overall picture - and my main interest will be the race for the win - and wherever there's a good battle.

It's particularly surprising to me someone can virtually ignore a hammer and tongs fight for the lead to concentrate on the midfield - but hey, you pays your money you takes your choice.


So, are you a diehard fan of any particular driver?

Or are you mainly a fan of motor-racing?

Do you focus on the lead/the race as a whole - or do you focus on "your guy/your team?".
