f1 2012 season

**pratman** · 9th July 2012

Well what a great season this is turning out to be, not predictable, great to see an array of drivers winning races and scoring points, makes the championship very exciting. and i know there arent many ferrari fans in here, but in my opinion alonso is the best driver on the circuit at the moment, becuase that ferrari should not be anywhere near a podium at the moment but he is driving brilliantly andthe tweaks he is making with his engineer and his aggressive style of taking places like he did in valencia without any contact is making him the best driver out there. i am a bit gutted that jenson and lewis are struggling, i would like to see these guys go wheel to wheel with alonso but that car is really not helping them at the moment it seems everything new package they put on makes the car slower and is not improving the car in any way, i think jenson has been struggling with this way before lewis started getting these issues.

yesterdays race did show that ferraris car is showing improvement as massa actually drove a good race so maybe the championship is going to see them and redbull be more consistent than the others, whereas before redbull were being consistent and only alonso was scoring heavily, before yesterday race, alonso had scored 111 of the 122 points ferrari had scored so if massa can keep his driving up and avoid any collisions with back markers then i think the constructors willl be an exciting race to the finish too.

I'm loving this years F1 and Indycar, as in both, its great to see the end of one teams complete dominance.

yeah it is great to see that, and its great to see that schueys car is competetive in the top 8 cars so its great to see him go wheel to wheel against alonso, vettel, webber, button and lewis, he may not have the pace but his experience and his defensive driving is great even though he pushes the boundaries lol. and also brilliant to see kimi back in the sport, considering he has been out for so long imagine what he will be like next season when he has that experience under his belt with the new regulations, he really will be a contender come next year me thinks.

I am hoping towards the end of the season to see the race in austin texas and hopefully see a world champion get crowned there but i am thinking it will run right down to the wire.

Kimi may have been out of F1 but he's been racing just about everything with an engine, when sober that is. . . .

oh yeah, not doubting that, but jsut the fact that F1 regulations have changed a lot since he left so its good to see how quickly he adjusted and i am surprised how quick that lotus is as well, also i think with grosjean and kimi teaming up lotus will continue to push the front runners and i think next year if they continue like this they will be well ahead of mercedes

when they said on the commentary that alonso is still in the car (after showing lewis and grosjean out of the car) and then the camera showed him not movin, i really thought the worst, glad to see he was unscathed but gutted that he got screwed in this race cuz i could see him getting a podium today. i thiknk he would have pushed vettel for second and would have scored some big points. cant wait for the next race

I'm glad the sulky little cunt didn't score today............. . . . . . . .

who you on about? hamilton? or alonso?

and i know people will not be in agreement in here but i think alonso is the stand out driver this season because there is no way that the ferrari should be near the front runners this season cuz it is so far off the pace but he is driving the wheels off that car.
