F1 2011-2012 Season

[hemingway]

so who saw the race and especially webbers fantastic pass on alonso at eau rouge? huge balls!

[Nude_not_rude]

yeah great race! SHame Hamilton was taken out early. Could have been more interesting with him in the mix. Was a shame also that Alonso could do nothing to defend his second and then third position from a fast finishing Webber and Button. Driver of the day was Schumacher starting in last place (24th) and finishing 5th...what a drive.

And Vettel won another one...depending on the positions, he can already be champion in the next race. Wow!

Also, nice to see Bruno Senna win his first points. :)

[hemingway]

Yeah bruno went hard and he's much more noticeable in a renault :D I thought di resta did well too.

Shame for all those taken out in first corner shenanigans and I noticed a few by mechanical failures too...

[hemingway]

So conrats to Vettel who tied up the drivers world title at Suzuka on Sunday.
It's a shame to have it decided with four races still to go but shows his and RBR's dominant form this year.

Jensen was in great form too, winning the race by getting the most from the soft tyre - and earning me a few bucks in the process (woot!)

[Nude_not_rude]

Yeah Congrats to Vettel on a great season. That guy is unstoppable! Will be interesting to see who finishes second.

[hemingway]

Hopefully webber can get back into second, though Jensen and his mclaren are finding some late form.

Yeah congrats to Vettel although I do agree with hemingway, it would be better if it had gone down to a final race decider with Vettel and Button left fighting it out for the championship. Now I can only hope Jenson can keep 2nd. But its still going to be exciting seeing who finishes in the top 3. Could be any of; Button, Alonso, Webber and Hamilton though he is just an outside chance now. It will also be interesting to see which Mercedes driver gets the better finish, I think there is only 3 points between them now. Id love to see Di Resta finish in the top 10 though that is looking unlikely now.

I was pretty impressed with the new track in india. Looks like Tilke finally thought up a different circuit design!!!
A nice fast, wide, undulating racetrack.

I agree, great track. Will be better when the newly built track dust is sorted out.

A great drive from Button again in the Indian GP. I would have loved it if he could have given Vettel a run for it but that Red Bull car just seems to be in a class of its own. Shame about Hamilton as it has to be said that was Massa's fault, Hamilton was just driving hard as usual, although I have to say that I think his driving style has lacked maturity this season.

[hemingway]

I guess you could say that about both of them though

[Pyre]

About Massa yeah. He doesn't seem to be the same sine the near fatal accident

  Theres so many great tracks coming onto the F1 circuit lately. I just hope they dont get rid of too many classic tracks.

Chris I heard recently that Spa will alternate with French GP from 2013. Would be a shame as I always look forward to Spa. Hopefully they will go back to Paul Ricard or Dijon instead of spending squillions on a new boring track.

Monza and Monaco will always be safe, Silverstone has a long deal in place, and presume Hockenheim will continue to alternate. Interlagos will need significant upgrades to retain it's spot, though it helps that Brazil is a huge and important market for f1. And they're the only old tracks that Bernie hasn't priced out of the game
