F1 2012 Season!

[Camel]

Who here's looking forward to the new season that kicks off this Friday in Australia?

 

I certainly am and hopefully the season won't be completely dominated by 1 team like the last 3 years. Red Bull aren't looking as strong this year as they did compared to this time last year but they still look quick so who knows.

 

Post your thoughts here! If you have those things, this is TDUCk of course.

I think having half Sky half BBC coverage should be good, force each other to up their game. Though to be honest the BBC coverage for the past few years has been very good imo.

 

The first race is always interesting, and I do like Melbourne too.

 

Viva Mclaren!

Yea, it sucks that a lot of people can't watch all of the races properly. Luckily my dad has Sky sports and he lets me use Sky Go so I can still watch all the races from Uni.

 

At least Mclaren are looking much stronger this year.

Seriously though, Räikkönen.

Hopefully it wont be the red bull ferrari and mclaren up each others butts for podium and pole position and there will be more variation

I was pretty happy to find out only this week that even Sky, who are known for wanting to sponge as much money from customers as possible, aren't having adverts during the races which is :dance:. Just shows just how awful the ITV coverage was.

There shouldn't be adverts at all for how much it costs to get Sky sports.

 

And Kimi will be good as long as he doesn't knock kids over in the paddock. :fp:

That one was the kid's mom's fault :cheeky:

[Camel]

Matter of opinion.

 

Some say it's the kids fault for being so small.

[hassan1995]

It was that lady fault women :fp: :cheeky:

[Sponge]

I blame gravity. :evil:

 

I look forward to the season, but it shall have to acquire the majority of the races online as we have no sky subscription :(

Not me.

 

Stupid traffic jams :evil:

[T0M722]

I'm looking forward to it! Are you going Ryan?

 

It'll be so epic, the F1 always bring an awesome car atmosphere around Melbourne. I'll be sure to be out and about this weekend takin' some happy snaps.

 

to be honest, i really want Ferrari to do well this season, and to win race 1. They're just so cool! Even if their car looks like crap this season...

Funny that, I'd love to see them fail miserably...:cheeky:

I'm hoping Webber takes out the driver's championship, with Lotus taking out the constructor's. But I just get that feeling that might not happen!:cry::cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

Pfft, the best I'll do is only watch the V8 Supercars on TV - I'm not even 100% sure if they are racing there - didn't see anything on the TV Guide. F1 is boring for me. It's like watching that pod-race in Star Ware Episode 1 but without all the explosions :lol:

[Sponge]

OMG! Formula 1 Directed by Michael Bay :eek:

 

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

[Camel]

9 hours 24 minutes! :yay:

[superhyper]

:excited:

 

BTW, did you guys see Heikki Kovalainen's new helmet design? Awesomesauce :D

[hassan1995]

CAN'T wait any more :drool: Formula 1FTW

Looks as though it's going to be a very dynamic season in terms of appearance of the cars and general set-up. I'm just curious whether McLaren will have the upper hand for the aerodynamics.

If they don't, they still have the nicest looking car with is the most important thing imo...

[cis4care]

If they do turn out to be quickest, everyone will gradually convert their front ends anyways. I can hope. Although, that Fezza actually looks pretty damn awesome. Could blame my love for Lego for that one.

[TimBud]

Looking forward to this year... especially if there's more competition.

Will see after the first few races if I can be bothered to keep up with the hype for the entire season.

 

The BBC/Sky thing is just a annoying money making ploy by Bernie and his whores. I can't see how it will benefit the fans/viewers.

Basically, I'm not going to enjoy missing the Sky covered events. Especially as I'll have to make do with the Arabic commentators that don't have a clue about F1and talk over all the English bits (pit walk/radio chat etc). The fact that they pronounce it 'Formulah Wahed' is almost too much sometimes :rolleyes:

[CarMadMike]

I have to say Shanghai was absolutely amazing, best race in absolutely ages.

 

Congrats to

Rosberg

but the dogfighting between every single person behind him on the grid (apart from the back 3 teams, they weren't really shown much) was very entertaining.

 

If the rest of the season continues like this it'll be great.

[superhyper]

I was sad after today's race :(
