Quiz: Wolff? Binotto? Which F1 Team Principal are you?
The drivers may be the personalities idolised around the world, but for the thinking person’s F1 fan it is arguably the team principal that has the most challenging role of all.
As the team head, you are the person to steer them through tough times, be the first to sing praises of everyone when everything is going right, stop your drivers swinging for one another when they clash in a race and be the central pillar from which everything else revolves.
So, while team principals may not be the glamorous face of F1 (though Flavio Briatore came pretty close…), a team’s success or failure is very much judged against them (sorry, Paddy Lowe).
We all have our favourites, but which team principal are you most likely to be? Answer these questions and you’ll soon have your answer…

The opening nine rounds in Australia, Bahrain, China, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Spain, Monaco, Azerbaijan and Canada have all been postponed or cancelled, with the season now expected to begin no earlier than the Austrian Grand Prix on July 5, most likely to be held as a behind closed doors event without spectators. F1 is considering running European races without fans in the current situation in a bid to get the campaign underway.
F1 has so far said it is targeting 15-18 races still but is still finalising calendar plans, with the prospect of back-to-back events at the same circuit being considered, as well as the sport’s first-ever double header rounds.
