Worst jumpstart in years
Pressure? Or the “Marquez Sass”?
Dust yourself up. Breathe.

(*Expressed in exactly 140 Characters.)
A new F1 season is upon us yet again, and it is time to get to know the new and not-so-new 22 fellas who shall amaze, inspire, irk, annoy, baffle, confound and emotionally-torture us for one whole year through an exercise of brevity otherwise known as the medium of Twitter-style Poetry:
.
Sebastian Vettel
Seb is a champ, that much is known
He may be flawed, & he damn can own
His job: to race, to fight, to win
Being talented isn’t a sin.
.
Daniel Ricciardo
RBR’s new guy is called Dan
To the Aussies, he’s the man
His smile can be seen from outer space
But he’s serious as heck in a race
Multi 31?
.
Lewis Hamilton
He does all he can
Just let him drive, man
Don’tcha wish your driver’s H.A.M like him?
Who chases a win even if chances are slim?
Peace out.
.
Nico Rosberg
The dilemma of Nico
Is to downplay looks that makes fans go loco
From the track to the pitwall
He’s the fairest of them all
Mind the talent!
.
Kimi Raikkonen
They call him Kimster
Poker-faced Finnish gangster
Cold as fire, hot as ice
Mind his mumblings, they’re quite wise
He knows what he’s doing.
.
Fernando Alonso
The Samurai of Formula 1
His brand of tactics? 2nd to none
You must always give him space
Or get a taste of his gameface
Psych wars, ahead!
.
Jenson Button
This lad’s quite spiffy in the wet
And he’s the Brits’ 2nd bet
On track he employs stealth
Off track he values health
Give him proper grip!
.
Kevin Magnussen
This McLaren rookie named Kevin
May be young, but he ain’t messin’
First race, p2, this Dane is great
Will a WDC be in his fate?
Stay tuned.
.
Romain Grosjean
1st lap nutcase, Smiley Giraffe
That once made plenty on-track gaffe
He was mellowed by his son
& now he is Lotus’ de facto no.1
.
Pastor Maldonado
He may have a reputation
That he brings on-track aggravation
So now this Venezuelan laddie
Has become F1’s fave baddie
What will he do next?
.
Nico Hulkenberg
Talent & potential? He sure has them
Eye of the Tiger should be his anthem
Hulk is his nickname
Intense racing is his game
Elephant Balls.
.
Sergio Perez
He was on a high then on a low
A bad year doesn’t mean this lad’s slow
New team & new chance for Checo
His partner? Superfast Nico
Game on.
.
Jean-Eric Vergne
He missed out on an RBR drive
But with STR he’ll continue to strive
Step up JEV & prove your worth
You just might have a racing rebirth
Go!
.
Daniil Kvyat
Daniil may look wet between the ears
But he races with no fears
He deftly stole Vettel’s record
Without causing any discord
Doubt-dispeller.
.
Felipe Massa
For years he was Smedley’s guy
A bromance/partnership money can’t buy
New team, new start & new hope
Let’s see if Felipe can cope
Stay cool.
.
Valtteri Bottas
Cool when needed, nerves of steel
This Finn’s steady behind the wheel
A hashtag? He is so much more
Ready to show what he has in store
.
Adrian Sutil
He’s the odd German out
Who doesn’t hold much clout
The other 3 are going rampant
He doesn’t need to go stagnant
Find the fight, Adrian!
.
Esteban Gutierrez
He can rival Nando’s eyebrows
Had mild highs & rather bum lows
Sophomore year for young Esteban
Can he become Sauber’s main man?
.
Kamui Kobayashi
Now the Banzai Power is back
Expect to see an all-out attack
Kamui’s sweet but he’s also spicy
His on-track tactics? Borderline dicey
Push!
.
Marcus Ericsson
He’s the new Swede on the block
Eager to show he’s fast on the clock
He gets to race a car so green
Can he get points, is he that keen?
.
Jules Bianchi
The 3rd Frenchman of the lot
He hasn’t yet shown all that he’s got
Push on, Jules & just drive
You can keep your points dream alive
.
Max Chilton
This lad Max is a noob no more
Time to show us what he’s got in store
Yes he can finish every race
But a point sure would be ace
Step it up!
