In the mid-season poll Mark Webber was voted as Lewis Hamilton’s main F1 championship contending racing driver with 3715 fan votes in total.

0%, 9 votes – Felipe Massa
3%, 113 votes – Fernando Alonso
26%, 976 votes – Jenson Button
43%, 1611 votes – Mark Webber
1%, 24 votes – Michael Schumacher
1%, 20 votes – Nico Rosberg
26%, 962 votes – Sebastian Vettel

Comparing this mid-season poll compared to the start-of-season poll things have changed quite drastically. Fernando Alonso who was previously voted to be the main challenger by a margin with 38%, this has now dropped to 3% of the total votes.

Whoever will challenge Lewis for the rest of the season it sure looks to be rounding up a great 2010 season with Lewis Hamilton having superb changes for the F1 driver’s championship.

The Formula 1 season just passed halfway and Lewis Hamilton is leading the championship by 12 points, ahead of his McLaren team mate Jenson Button. The season seems to be shaping up nicely for Lewis and McLaren. The Red Bull’s fighting each other recently has helped Lewis to do super well in the last few races getting 86 points from a possible 100!

The results from the poll on who would be Lewis Hamilton’s main competitor in the 2010 Formula 1 season are here.

Over 1700 Lewis Hamilton fans have participated in the poll.
Here are the results:

Fernando Alonso has received the most votes for being Lewis Hamilton’s competitor by a country mile. Which seems to reflect his win in Bahrain last weekend.

Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher are relatively close together followed by Sebastian Vettel. I would have thought that Vettel would be most competitive after Alonso, as he as proven to be very good. We don’t know how Michael Schumacher was going to do so he’s a bit of an unknown and it also largely depends on how Mercedes GP improve. But he’s always going to be a threat.

It was also surprising that Nico Rosberg received so few votes as he’s a quality driver!

The 2010 Formula 1 season is certainly going to be interesting.

Poll results in %:
Fernando Alonso - 38.07%
Jenson Button – 19.62%
Michael Schumacher – 18.22%
Sebastian Vettel – 13.62%
Felipe Massa – 8.03%
Mark Webber – 1.28%
Nico Rosberg – 1.16%

The 2010 Formula 1 season is only days away. The season already seems to have all the ingredients for one of the most interesting F1 seasons.

Lewis Hamilton’s Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team looks to be in a much better position than it was last year.

Do you think Mercedes will give Lewis Hamilton an SLS AMG if he is 2010 F1 world champion? Who knows, they might do (but he would probably buy one himself if he really wanted one).

The Mercedes SLS AMG can be seen in this video, it looks and sounds awesome! Especially doing an incredible stunt in the tunnel!
