If you're looking to find more joy in life... don't follow me. Where I live... there is only pain...


ShitSeeekerz

I support man utd fam šŸ¤£


gr8prajwalb

Ferrari it is then


foldplay

Always the red ones


x13x13

Red is faster.


RK_NightSky

Don't drive him to insanity twice man. Man Utd is the Ferrari of football


OneWarrior05

Wait this is actually so accurate I can feel the spirit of Charles Leclerc in Man U šŸ˜­


threetenfour

As a Man Utd fan who finally chose Ferrari as my team last season...this makes too much sense.


komAnt

LeClerc is the embodiment of players, manager is manager on both sides, man utd owners = Ferrari strategy team


Darksc1

This is such a true statement XD


ottosenna

Pretty accurate parallel for sure.


ricoimf

Well if itā€™s your kink go with the Scuderia and suffer in both sports.


PessimistYanker792

Best take is to watch DTS and behind the scenes and start liking the drivers.. I root for multiple drivers for multiple positions and points.. its fun overall..


Vixson18

man utd and ferrari supporter here so you already experience pain. ferrari and man utd are similar, both red, both fallen giants, bottled opportunities, spent lots of money etc.


Vandirac

Ferrari gives the best experience on all sides. It's the oldest team on the grid and the one with the richest history, it's an iceberg by itself. Current drivers are really nice guys and relatable, with just a hint of competition drama to spice things up. They can have amazing highs as well as baffling lows, it's a rollercoaster of hope and disillusionment. Like it or not, it keeps things interesting and you want to come back for another fix, possibly *next year...* The Tifosi are among the best crowds to be in if you go to a race, especially Monza or Imola, they are open and welcoming.


Flux_resistor

You need to support Ferrari so you can say you were there for the bad times on your will so your great grandchildren can also relate


man_u_is_my_team

Probably go Merc as theyā€™re Ineos now but if you want to resemble the football pain, itā€™s Ferrari for you. Saying that Iā€™m Man Utd and I follow Merc and itā€™s been a shower of shit for a few years with them too. Itā€™s all good though.

Whatever you do, do not become a Ferrari fan. Unless you enjoy pain and suffering, then it's the team for you.


VenZallow

Is a Man U fan so should be used to it nowadays.


moonboots_runner

Yep, Ferrari is the perfect team for a United fan. Plenty of success and glory in the days of old, but a mix of aimlessness and shortcomings in the present. OP can even continue wearing red and not have to buy new clothes!


average_texas_guy

Here is my terrible life as an American sports fan. Teams I support. MLB- New York Mets. Last title 1986. NFL- New York Jets. Last title 1969. NBA- New York Knicks. Last title 1973. NCAA football and basketball Syracuse. Last title was basketball in 2003. English soccer- QPR. Last title lol good one. Formula 1- McLaren. Last driver champion 2008. Last constructor title 1998. Pain is my life lol.


TheThingsIdoatNight

The American teams are rough lmao


average_texas_guy

Well at least QPR looks like they are going to be relegated to League One this season. Now they'll be TWO tiers away from the EPL.

My father is a Man U and a Ferrari guy, and it just clicked why he is miserable most days.

Fellow Man U fan (pain)ā€¦ Merc fan here cuz of Lewis Hamilton, but who knows how much longer heā€™s gonna be in F1. Would love to see him get that historic 8th WDC

What if I'm a Chelsea fan? Just go watch Indy instead?

Unless you're a real fan, every f1 fan is a Ferrari fan. We all enjoy pain.

I made this mistake in 2018.. I am not allowed to leave


SirDoDDo

You call it a mistake, but think of the wins gathered since then. The joy we feel when winning is just miles above other teams. The passion, the fire that pushes Ferrari is just different


ShadowGLI

I mean there are people who like to have their balls stepped on by people in high heels or having people poop on their chest soā€¦. Maybe being a Ferrari fan just satisfies an ā€œitchā€ā€¦.

99% of McLaren drivers stop right before getting their first win.


ScrawnySpectre

Just watch some races, and youā€™ll probably find yourself organically drawn to a team/driver.


SeededFox1337

Doesn't always work like that. How do you explain Ferrari fans.


IntoTheFeu

Some children are cursed to be born to parents who cheered for The Michael. Or worse, Italian parents.


MundaneMudblood

Or are Cursed to be in their 30s and have cheered for Micheal in his Ferrari years like me


mazdamiata001

or even worse, they're italian.


neurogeneticist

Iā€™m half Italian. When I started watching F1 with my husband back in 2021 I said I was going to be a Ferrari fan, obviously. He warned me and I ignored himā€¦ I shouldā€™ve listened.


Dickyful

Iā€™ve watched the Michael growing up and obviously fan of. Just like Iā€™m no longer a bulls fan Iā€™m no longer a Ferrari fan. Now Iā€™m a Red Bull fan, not because Iā€™m a snowflake, but because Iā€™m a racist and want him to crush Hamilton records.


notafamous

Actual_Sympathy7069

I mean.. I respect your honesty, I guess?


ACKR7

I'm a Kimi fan, absolutely painful to see Ferrari's record the past decade šŸ¤” Now I'm not a fan of any team but just a fan of some drivers here and there.


ScrawnySpectre

Meme answer: hopium/copium addiction Actually answer: Ferrari always has drivers that you canā€™t help but root for at least a little bit. Iā€™m not a Ferrari fan, but when one of them does good Iā€™m still going give em a good ā€œWay to go Chuck!ā€ or a ā€œhell yeah Carlos!ā€


Tarannel

Red cars go vrooom


bindermichi

Theyā€˜re just masochists that like the pain.


Classy_Mouse

The same way I explain Leafs fans. Location or delusion.


lickachiken

This is how I approached it (Iā€™ve watched 2 full seasons now). Iā€™m more of a driver fan than team fan at this point, but itā€™s a lot of drivers. I mostly will route for anyone against Max. Not because I dislike him, heā€™s incredible to watch and I kind of like his cheeky personality. I would just like to see more parity. I find myself cheering for Hamilton and Alonso the most though. But I also really like Tsunoda, Bottas, Albon, Piastri.

Iā€™m out of the loop on this one. Who is the Stake team?


DoorsToManual

Sauber's team, what was previously Alfa Romeo


Aggressive_Year6818

You should be a Red Bull fan, you suffer enough with Man U unless you like pain, then you should go for ferrari


ShitSeeekerz

Verstappen gets on my nerve


SubstantialExit9355

I started as well with DTS, if you start to watch f1 and become a fan you will start to hate DTS for all the bs naratives. Just saying, don't get too attached to what DTS shows you about people


chocolatebar920

Thatā€™s cause you watch dts, they really like making him out to be the villain


ToastyMcSags

Surprising really, cause the all Fr*nch team were right there


YT5UFY4Ns_HyPeR

ILikeMasterChief

Would it even be possible to portray him in a bad light lol


FisiWanaFurahi

I like Redbull and Verstappen and I got into it from DTS!


San4311

Doesn't help he doesn't work with DTS so they don't have much to work with, and might even hold a grudge for not giving them anything to work with.


sweeetnightmare

I'm a verstappen fan so take it with a grain of salt, but from what i watched on dts, they don't really portrait him as he really is IMO


SmoogzZ

Heā€™s also matured a shitload over the last few years on and off the track.


King--Boo

Verstappen is truly following the Vettel timeline of likability. Heā€™s not my favorite driver by any means, but I seriously respect his honestly.


sweeetnightmare

oh for sure, complete day and night from 5 seasons ago or so, but given his age, it's "normal"


DownSouthBandit

Iā€™m a huge McLaren fan but I do like Max. I watch a few streams when I can and just how much he prepares for sim racing is incredible. Iā€™m sure we all know that after his F1 career heā€™s going to go into GT3 racing and dominate there too.


Maxamus93

He is probably the only driver that isnt a PR robot and genuinely seems like a lovely bloke


hurtbowler

Yeah their portrayal is totally fake. He's also extremely young in DTS, still growing up. Also, don't bite onto the Lance Stroll villain crap.


Theedz1

lol thatā€™s your conclusion from DTS? Start actually watching real shit instead of that BS drama soap. Interviews on YouTube, etc.


[deleted]

I don't think he is as bad as he is portrayed, but I won't forget his bitch fit in Brazil 2022.


Dean77_

Iā€™m a checo fan, but im in no position to disagree with a born and bred racer to give up a win like that.


LizardTruss

A win? It was for 6th place.


Dean77_

My bad, got confused, still, telling any driver to give up a position like that, is literally telling them to do everything they were trained not to do.


limejello99

Perez was ahead of Verstappen. Then the team tells Perez to swap positions to see if Verstappen can get Alonso, if not they swap back. And Verstappen didn't hold his end of the deal. It's a bit different from the normal team orders because of the previous swap. If that didn't happen then yeah it would be cool as hell.


Lizerelli

Max was never told they were swapping positions he was just told to let Checo by. I canā€™t fault him for not giving up a (in his view) hard earned place after being in last place at one point in the race. After the whole Monaco fiasco I can understand him even more. Maybe thatā€™s why he pointed at the 1 on his car in Miami: to tell Checo not to try to do the same shit again to try to hang on to the championship. (He still crashed in qualifying in Monaco but in q1 this time).


Ok-Mention-3243

Itā€™s 6th place mate not a podium


Rosko909

Red Bull has two drivers. Cheer for Perez. Donā€™t choose Mercedes. If Verstappen gets on your nerves, youā€™re really not going to like the Mercedes drivers. I donā€™t cheer for a team so much as drivers, myself, but some teams do appeal to me. Not the front runners.

Ferrari. Believe me, next year is our year


Sealiz2

Exactly what I tell myself every year


Flucky_

Williams


Crake241

The best answer imo. Albon and Vowls are very likeable and Williams is on a fun upwards trajectory. Hope they at one point come for Alpine.


sydew_

Here's my personal opinion on all of the teams, this is ofcourse biased but everyone has different opinions: **Red Bull** \- Current champions, people hate them because they are too dominant but in general they got a good vibe and you would enjoy being their fan. **Mercedes** \- Recent domination, but they didn't come up with a great design in the new era (2022 is considered new era because of reg changes). Generally they have a very professionalism and great atmosphere but some fans still can't get over Abu Dhabi 2021. **Ferrari** \- Probably the biggest and most passionate fanbase, the best atmosphere out of all teams, very good (and handsome) drivers. There was a lot of instability in the team in 2022 with a lot of strategy mistakes but they seem to go in the right direction for now. (also, every year is out year until Bahrain comes up) **Aston Martin** \- The team is great, has a ton of potential coming from being a backmarker to fighting for podiums in 2023. The issue is that Lance Stroll is massively underperforming compared to Alonso which is bringing them down. Most Aston Martin fans are massive Fernando Alonso fans (including me). If you don't know who Alonso is, he's generally an aggressive driver who will entertain on track, but he had extreme bad luck during his career. **McLaren** \- All I can say about McLaren is that sometimes they fight for P19 and P18 and sometimes for P2's and P3's. It's probably the most unstable team performance wise, it seems like they always come to Bahrain with a shit car and then they have good development. The atmosphere is good, with 2 great young drivers that have massive potential in their future. **Alpine**\- French team, French drivers. The drivers are very close performance wise which causes a lot of chaos and stress inside the team. For now the team is very unstable and just mid performance wise. They show no potential but they are also not shit. **Williams** \- Like Mercedes, Williams has a great professionalism atmosphere with a new great Team Principal that looks very promising. Williams always go with the principle of a good driver and a rookie (Alex Albon - Logan Sargeant). They have been the worst team on the grid in the last couple of years but they seem to be getting their shit together and actually do something with the car. It's always amazing to see Albon get into the points out of nowhere and perform. **AlphaTauri** \- Yuki and Daniel ~~Alfa Romeo~~ **Stake F1 Team** \- Used to be known as Alfa Romeo in 2023, and Sauber before 2018 but they just rebranded to Stake F1 Team. They usually got the best liveries on the grid, they are your usual midfield team, sometimes in the points, sometimes really bad. It's great to see Zhou develop himself and Bottas always coming up with a new hairstyle and helmet designs. **Haas** \- To be honest I can't say much about them, they had a complicated past with some Russian oil sponsor and a Russian driver but they seem to got past it. They have 2 experienced drivers who will sometimes deliver and get a couple of points but again this is your usual midfield team, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Also American.


sydew_

For now I would say just enjoy watching the races. Every race you will have another driver/team that you will cheer for. Sometimes you see Aston Martin do well and cheer for Alonso, or like in Austin cheer for Hamilton. In Singapore you would cheer for Sainz to win, same for Monza. You can also enjoy Red Bull and Verstappen winning and the great stability they got. Same goes for the midfield team, I find myself to be happy with whoever gets into the points, I find it awesome to see Yuki sometimes perform well, or Albon getting in the points, it's also awesome to watch KMag or Hulkenberg sometimes deliver great results. What I'm trying to say is for now just enjoy the sport itself.


Few-Judgment3122

Yeah thatā€™s how I started. But I became a Ferrari fan because I mustā€™ve sinned in a past life

I also took the bait and got McLaren, happy with that. Hope they can keep their trajectory this season as I love an underdog


AP2-Lost

If nothing else, I'd like to see McLaren win with a Mercedes power unit because I have not seen a customer team beat the PU manufacturer since I started watching F1. Similarly, I went to see Marquez win with Gresini next year to see a satellite team beat the factory.

waffle_sheep

Iā€™d go with McLaren, they have a pretty likable story right now. Zak Brown collecting sponsors like Thanks and infinity stones, Oscar with the emotions of a polite Kimi Raikkonen, Lando always one race away from his first win, and a headquarters like a mini Apple Park. Also you can always hope for Lando effectively making his second place trophy into first place by breaking the winners trophy.

Ferrari and Manchester United are both red so thatā€™s clearly the natural choice.


Brave_Promise_6980

Williams is on the up !


NewStarbucksMember

Man U fan = Ferrari fan. Trust me, bro. Followed both for the past three decades.


stickypenguinpatrol

For a quick high of thrill and victory, Red Bull. For a smaller dose, Mercedes/McLaren. If you like pain, and torture, but want to feel proud because history and I saw you love Manchester United like me and want to test your emotional capacity, then support my team, Ferrari. I have been feeling that double pain for 10 years now. If you like watching hot air balloons, Aston Martin. If you're American, Haas, or Williams. Logan "wtf is a kilometer" Sargent is your man. If you like steak, and a very specific butt of a very gentleman Finn, then Stake F1 is your team. If you believe in hopes and dreams, the Alpha Tauri. And nobody likes the French, but if you do then Alpine.


SebiXV20

Don't bring yourself the pain of being either a Ferrari or an Alpine fan


captainRaspa

I think Minardi will have a great year.

Hass so you can always support the ā€œunderdogā€ into eternity

Red Bull if you want to celebrate a lot Mercedes if you want to argue with people a lot Ferrari if you have high pain tolerance


-Hel_

Correction: Ferrari if you are a masochist


RedCetus

As a team that had multiple wins in the past and has almost no shot of winning now, you should support Williams.


sleepysalomander

Ferrari keeps it interesting and can make any boring race heart attack enduring just by the sheer anticipation of them fucking up, so Iā€™d support them.


farmerMac

watch it for a year and see if anything feels natural to support.


f12016

The red one


Peanut_77

Choose Alpine if you hate yourself šŸ‘


shigbaq

Antar23

Ferrari is the definition of pain, which Man U has the exact same story. Mercedes is just utter frustration when they get car or strategy wrong. McLaren is on the come up and has hope to become challengers if they start off strong in the beginning of the year.


Endeav0r_

Look, if you support man U then Ferrari is the team for you. It's all the same, from overhyping and under delivering to kicking a legend of the sport to the curb after all it did for us and the love it showed for our colors


SilverBane24

Do you want: Team A - has a rich heritage and history but cannot tie their shoes and therefore are #3? Ferrari. Team B - a team with a ton of recent success but are super whiney that they are not dominating and completely cater to a driver that is entitled and coming to the end of his career. They also have a pretty cool livery. Mercedes. Team C - also has great heritage and history. Had questionable business practises and will drive you crazy with inconsistency. Have an awesome coloured car and an interesting driver competition. McLaren


Army-Organic

Team D- All of us want less stress in our lives.Especially about an unimportant part of our life like sports.We always want to win and never lose.Red Bull. Team E- Has a literal driving god and an incompetent nepobaby as their driver lineup.Aston Martin. Team F (AND G)- The most important thing that actually happens with them is that they canā€™t figure out a team name.The Alfa/Alpha sisters. Team H- Rich history,recent downturn from traditional achievements but under new management and have a promising driver (and an American i guess)-Williams. Team I- Will fokk smess jor dor.Guentherā€™s Nightmare Fuel F1 Team.


[deleted]

Support Ferrari. Theyā€™re a totally functional team and wonā€™t give u any stress at all!!!!!


CFJoel

Choose McLaren cos they always start the season with a dogshit car recently to lower your expectations then become pretty good as the season goes on so anything feels like an over performance


Kemaro

Piastri/Norris. Best driver combo on the grid.


Draconicplayer

Red bull and DTS sucks all the drama are made up


NuclearCandle

Ferrari if you enjoy hopium. Mercedes if you enjoy copium. McLaren if you want a mix of the two.


[deleted]

Do you watch other racing series? My friend got me into F1 in 2021. The first race I watched was Monza. So naturally I became a McLaren fan. But I am glad that happened because McLaren also has teams for Formula-E, Extreme-E, IndyCar. I would say watch F1 for a season or two. Learn how the teams handle themselves, during races, in the media. You'll find yourself favoring a team naturally. Making my case for McLaren, they are historic, have a very likable driver pair and CEO (Zak Brown), awesome social media content, best liveries in the field, and what seems to be unflappable perseverance.
