When Greeks start watching F1 there are several ways to choose which team or driver they prefer. Usually the choice depends on their favorite football club. Each football club in Greece has its “favorite number”, which is usually the number of the gate that the most dedicated fans of the team prefer when going to the stadium. There are 2 major football and basketball teams in Greece, Panathinaikos (which is my favorite) and Olympiakos (which has also participated in Superleague Formula). The jerseys of Panathinaikos are green and the “favorite number” of its fans is 13, whereas the players of Olympiakos wear red and the “favorite number” is 7.

Constructors' Championship If we could exclude Red Bull from the game, we would have enjoyed a nice battle between Mercedes, Ferrari and Lotus. Unfortunately the Austrian team was far too good (they won 13 races, all with Vettel), so the rest of the grid fought for the second place. At the end, Mercedes claimed second place after changing places with Ferrari for a few times. The German team won 3 GP's, the last of them was at Hungary, before Vettel started his winning spree! The Scuderia only managed to win 2 races, while Lotus claimed victory at the first GP of the season. So if we take into account the victories each team scored, the final standings would be the same (at least for these 4 teams)! Fair result!
