Welcome to the thread!

First off you should get a primer on the thread for people to ignore:

1. Ferrari supporters. They're happy for now because they won, but it'll only take a few bad Jock Clear calls before they start throwing the racial epithets around. Ferrari throwing away championships due to incompetence is as inevitable as the sunrise. You hope for them to do well regardless because at least it's not Mercedes.

2. Mercedes supporters. Easily the most tedious of the bunch. Medcedes has dominated the sport for the last 7 years and gifted Lewis Hamilton 6 of his 7 WDC's. Because of this, this group believes Lewis to be the 2nd coming of christ just because he can open DRS and pass the entire field on the straight. They're all very quiet now because Mercedes has been fairly mediocre lately, but they're a good team so by the European leg of the season they should be back near the front. Mercedes has ruined the sport for the better part of a decade. You'll see this group throwing around a lot of asterisks like a bunch of entitled Karen's because they're still salty about something that happened 3 months ago.

3. Red Bull supporters. Lmao there aren't any. Christian Horner is a bad person, Helmut Marko is a nazi, and Max Verstappen has the personality of someone who has suffered child abuse. The only cool person in the RBR organization is Adrian Newey, but he doesn't come on camera anymore.

4. McLaren supporters. The most popular team with the best looking car. McLaren supporters are the most level headed and good looking of the bunch. The car has some major technical flaws this year and it's not super quick but we know the lads will figure it out.

Everyone else: This thread is largely a cesspit from categories 1 and 2, but the occasional chats with everyone else are what make this thread ok.

You picked a good first team with Alpha Tauri. Pierre and Yuki are good lads, and the team is consistent enough to stay in the midfield, but competent enough that if the race gets wild they can pull out a surprise good result. The red bull connection is unfortunate, but it is what it is. If you're looking for a number 2 team to root for I suggest Alpine or Williams.

Alpha Tauri and Alfa Romeo are cool and good, but Haas is where it's at now that mazepin got screwed in maximum hilarity fashion

This is all well and good but the real truth is you should watch F1 to root for no specific team, but only for maximum chaos and drama. No gods no masters. Hopefully a few times per season you will see an exciting car race while you're at it.

edit: also guenther steiner embodies the "maximum chaos" model and you should follow him wherever he leads us

*checks notes* Yup, this is accurate. The Papaya Bois are extremely good and popular, just like their supporters

I'm still chuckling a few times per day about how Haas took Mazepin's money to put sponsor labeling on by far the worst car, then used it to make a good car that Mazepin never gets to drive.

MrMojok posted:

All of this nonsense about Papaya.

McLaren would immediately drop lap times by a couple of tenths if they reverted to the classic silver and black color scheme, which is historically known to be faster.
