As TT commented already.....and due to the similar reasons....i prefer the rallying rather than the F1(on the one hand i see the athomosphere in the race and the boxes as a race of robots against other robots, on the other hand...i see the F1 too focused on the VIP atmosphere as well)

Anyway...going for a rally driver decision, is difficult to get a rally favourite driver ever....but id go for Carlos Sainz.....just because i see that he is the only driver that capable of winning races, and championships in every type of surface during 15 years all together
