F1 2012 Season!

[Camel]

Was a fantastic season overall. Some of the best races I've seen in my time.

 

I hope next season is just as good but if Seb wins another title then I'm probably done with F1.

[hassan1995]

Overall best races of the year Abu Dhabi topping them all but alonso :cry: next year buddy next year..

[TimBud]

Cannot believe that Ferrari have appealed... just accept that on that weekend your driver did not have enough skill to do what was required. FFS!

[Ryzza5]

Care to explain to the rest of us who didn't watch? Also what was up with Webber and Vettel? Saw something on TV but then the channel was changed.

[TimBud]

I didn't watch either just read the news today. :rolleyes:

Ferrari are saying that Vettel did an illegal overtake while there were yellow flags. If the FIA agree he'll be dropped from 6th to 8th and loose 4 points... conveniently Alonso is only 3 points behind in the championship.

[Ryzza5]

So he overtook two people under yellow? Surely if he did it would've been plainly noticeable and addressed during the race, and the people who were allegedly overtaken would've already complained by now.

 

Seems ironic how the best of the sport are also the whoosiest.

[TimBud]

Ferrari reckon he overtook Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne during lap 4

[Camel]

The video on BBC Sport certainly makes it look like he overtook after a yellow flag board and before the green one. And again later on in the race. So going by the rules he should of had 2 penalties and I'm sure there are some other drivers who'd be given the penalties and some who wouldn't.

 

It'd be wrong to take the title off him now but it'd also be wrong to then penalise other drivers who do similar things next season which they will do.

 

I can see where Ferrari are coming from but then again how many times have Ferrari International Assistance helped them over the years? :p

 

*shrug*

[hassan1995]

Even if he does get penalized *prays* and Alonso gets the title *prays* that moment has gone where the celebrations and the tension build up is gone :(

[superhyper]

Heck, even I, who loves winning way too much, wouldn't be happy if I won something this way. Everyone would just hate me and I wouldn't feel like a winner anyways.

 

Also, Ferrari did complain to the FIA, FIA reviewed the video footage and found out that Seb did nothing wrong. Even mr. Ecclestone himself thought that what Ferrari did was a complete joke.

He did overtake Vergne, but it was under green flags, hence no penalty and everyone should just stfu about it already. The kid won his title fair and square.

[hassan1995]

I don't think he is a kid anymore :) iirc he is 25 or so :mhmm:

[superhyper]

He's 25 and won 3 F1 world championships.

 

I'm 18 and I haven't achieved anything.

 

:hmmm:

[hassan1995]

We're on the same boat :(

 

Does getting best student awards in some subjects count :lol:

[cis4care]

I don't think he is a kid anymore :) iirc he is 25 or so :mhmm:

 

He's the youngest ever to hold three titles to his name, and is so by 6 years to the next guy, who just so happens to be Ayrton Senna. He is indeed a kid compared to how long it took other drivers to do what he's made and done already. And would you stop being butthurt?

What the hell is with your attitude? It stinks and is totally unnecessary.

[superhyper]

Just because he's defending Seb doesn't mean that her attitude stinks :cheeky:

 

:leaves:

[cis4care]

What attitude, where? I really didn't think someone's tone could be determined in written speech, the comment was actually not meant for having a go at him.

[Eudemon]

Vettel should have won the title clear and easy this year as he had the best car by far so his third title isn't something I look at along with the true past greats as it's fairly easy to do the best when you have the best. Sure he does have skill and is a world class driver but until the field evens up then his achievements will be seen by many as "his to lose" not "a great win". :)

[Ryzza5]

TopGear should get them to race their motorhomes around a track, then we'd find the best racer ;)

*cough* Schumacher*cough*

 

Not all of them but there were still quite a few *coughs*

[Eudemon]

Haha yeah, same with JB too though, that Brawn was very very good after all.

[cis4care]

It's come along much harder for Vettel this season, and there have been plenty of much easier dominations in the past. Mansell in 1992 and Hill in 1996, for example, had totally dominant cars, especially in Hill's case. Jim Clark pretty much won the vast majority of his races for his first championship. And Schumacher.
