F1 2012 Season!

Camel · July 28, 2012

Yea, but they weren't able to magically pull out a lap over half a second faster than all previous laps after the torque map rule and new suspension row.

Surely it's not just a coincidence?

superhyper · July 28, 2012

Alonso got pole in the last 2 races. Surely not a coincidence? Those damn Red Bull torque maps were sucking energy from the Mclarens and feeding it to the Ferraris! Surely something had to be done!

I'm not quite sure we're thinking of the same things here.

Yaaay, what a boring race!

Wasn't expecting many starting position changes, this being Hungaroring and all, but god damn Bruno Senna. He's had the most flawless of weekends, P3 and P4 in practice sessions and getting into Q3 for the first time this season! And he said he didn't like this track. The race he raced today was just a pure class act, despite Maldonado's spiteful comments and disrespect towards him. He really got slapped across the face with a wet sock today, and finally, some sufficient penalty for making a complete and utter dingleberry out of himself once again.

Much faith for Bruno in Spa and onwards, since he's got more experience of most of these tracks, he should bring some more results!

Shame about the Sauber's pace here, had really high hopes for them this weekend. And Toro Rosso again being an island of their own.

Was it a boring race for those that don't hate hami? Just got in from work, not sure if I'll bother watching it if it was boring.

cis4care · July 29, 2012

Well, it wasn't *actually* boring, just on the face of the rest of the season. It's definitely watchable!

We had a birthday party, only saw the start when MSC wasn't able to start. :fp: HAM won, which is good. I hope he will win next races and deposed Alonso from the first place.

T1M · July 29, 2012

It was an okay race. I'm happy for Hamilton, and at least Alonso still managed to grab fifth. Schumacher had a frankly dreadful race, perhaps its time to throw in the towel after this season. I also thought Kimi was being a bit of an ass when he forced Grosjean off the track, but they both did fairly well so I guess it wasn't too bad.

superhyper · July 29, 2012

I missed the 2nd half of the race because of work but damn it was exciting for the first half! Though shame that iceman couldn't win, hoping for the best in Spa after the break :)

Camel · July 29, 2012

Great race, Kimi did very well to get 2nd.

Hamilton!

Camel · July 29, 2012

Congratulations! You found videos of overtaking and crashing on the interwebs.

superhyper · July 29, 2012

C'mon, no need to take it seriously :lol:

Camel · July 30, 2012

Fine, I take my congratulations back! :p

cis4care · July 30, 2012

Hamilton was absolutely flying the entire weekend, I can say nothing but congratulations to him. There really is no need to give him crap for how he behaved last year when he completely changed his attitude and general approach to the sport in less than a winter's break. Really.

Though, I did want Kimi to win, he must be really sick of this crap by now. :lol:

I also thought Kimi was being a bit of an ass when he forced Grosjean off the track, but they both did fairly well so I guess it wasn't too bad.

Kimi was going to be quicker than Grosjean, the team decided for it themselves and rendered it okay afterwards. Grosjean was losing speed at that moment and if Kimi wouldn't have passed him then and there, he wouldn't have gotten as close to Hamilton as he did.

The Compensator · July 30, 2012

I'm amazed cis how you remember all the goings-on in races. :eek:

It seems that Hamilton kicked himself for being an arse a bit last year and is concentrated on racing.

cis4care · July 30, 2012

I don't, really, I was just following the Lotuses quite close on top of my three bobs. Was hoping for a new winner, and two of my boys were having a severe case of lack of pace/piece of crap Toro Rosso.

July 30, 2012

I'm amazed cis how you remember all the goings-on in races. :eek:

She has practice unloading it all on me lol. I don't even need to watch the race to know what happened :D

cis4care · July 30, 2012

Ha ha! Yes!

The Compensator · July 30, 2012

What type of races do you watch? Only F1, or another series too?

cis4care · July 30, 2012

F1 and WRC on a regular basis, but I do follow the results of GP2, GP3, WSR and touring car racing and watch the races when I get a chance to download them, since I'm deprived of live streaming. Oh, and the FIA GT3 and GT1 series.

T1M · September 2, 2012

Today was a squeemish race for myself, mainly because of Grosjean taking out Alonso and Hamilton at turn one. Still, I'm happy for Button and it was a great race for him! A lot of great overtaking moves by many of the drivers.

Grosjean has a race ban and Maldonado gets a 10 place penalty for a jump start and a collision with Timo Glock. :hmmm:

hassan1995 · September 2, 2012

Happy for button and Kimi

Extremely disappointed for alonso and i waited a month to see him perform again :(

It might come to a shock but i also has sympathy for Hamilton :lol:

cis4care · September 2, 2012

As you should, he was in no way responsible for the collision. Glad at least Fernando's okay after all, even now the cars aren't completely safe in case of a pile-up, even with the higher shoulder frames. Was seriously worried about him for a split second there.

I will and will keep insisting that RoGro's far too inexperienced for Lotus' car. Arguably the fastest car on the grid and the lad's only done something like 6 GPs prior, not going to end well. Good to see he regrets ploughing through the field as mindlessly as he usually does it, though. Chap's got a load to learn, he's going to have to take it the hard way.
