Formula 1 2012 season

[MalteseFalcon]

Before I start, let me say that I don't have a particular favourite Constructor in F1.

Ferrari may have done something immoral/illegal, but let's face it every season there is always some controversy over cheating by a Constructor. A few years ago, there was the big McLaren spy scandal. Then there have been the seasons where a team has started well and the others moan about it being illegal because that team stretched the rules to the edges without going into cheating territory.

I'm just glad that even though he gained third place, he didn't win the race. Saying that, I dislike Germany more than Spain so will be abandoning my anyone but Alonso stance in Brazil and cheering him on to win the title.

Alonso is proud of Ferrari's shennanigans:

Alonso has been talking in the TV pen after the race and has praised the decision of the team which saw him promoted to seventh as team-mate Massa took a penalty. "It was a choice decision from the team," said Alonso. "We [were going to] start sixth and eighth. We were worried to arrive ninth and 10th into the first corner. I'm proud of this decision, I'm proud of team for saying the truth [behind the decision]."

positive news: what a showing by the US in the world of F1! top draw i got pumped up for this one and it didnt disappoint. great coverage by Sky too.

I think Abu Dhabi need to make changes to their circuit. its a little boring. put a cliff on it or something. theres a few others that need a fresh dose of spice too.

Not often I watch F1 these days (prefering MotoGP and Superbikes) but have to say the Circuit of The Americas certainly made for some great racing, plenty of overtaking opportunities on the wide track. Really quite enjoyable

Lewis Hamilton starts on Pole for Brazilian GP
Button = 2nd
Webber = 3rd
Vettel = 4th
Alonso 6th

I wonder if Red Bull will change Webbers gearbox to give Vettel 3rd

Well the last GP of the season has now started on Sky Sports F1 HD and its sad hearing the title theme for the last time this season. Once this season is over i dont know how to fill my weekends until F1 is back next season
