RE: New Grand Prix Season Is Almost Upon Us!!!
Top performance from the McLaren boys [&o][&o]
Massa ahead of Alonso - will they have another gearbox malfunction!! [:D]
Vettel in 4th - barring disaster he has the Championship in the bag [:(]

Great race!
Nice racing by Button. Vettel has tonnes of luck again to survive the 1st lap. Alonso couldn't have raced better. Shame about Hamilton, bad luck. Again!!
The championship was one of the best I've seen for a long time.
The teams invest in millions for the driver, car and tyres, but they do seem to save when it comes to a software or someone who can really predict the weather. The programm that they were using, was really a waste of time.
No, it's not raining (says the computer) but everybody is getting drenched.[&:] Seems a bit wierd.

Already looking forward to 2013.

Got to do the decent thing and congratulate Vettel.
BUT, great driver that he is, he really does get the breaks doesn't he? Again.
Given the type of accident he had, quite how was he able to continue??? It wasn't so much the initial tangle with Senna (for which he was lucky not to lose a wing). It was pointing the wrong way, and a complete passenger, while the rest of the field try and get past - normally a driver will get snagged by someone.....But then he did!! Senna's Williams gave him an almighty clout on the rear suspension [X(] but no damage!!
As for Lewis.... if you tot up all the points lost NOT through driver error, he beats Alonso AND Vettel. Harumph [&:]
Oh well, I feel better for that winge [:)]
Well done Jenson too [8D]

Yeah, congrats to Vettel, but in this last race he has driven like my granny.
More seriously, yes: Congratulations. An excellent F1 season, all in all.
I'm waiting for Melbourne 2013 GP, if only to see Hamilton in Mercedes. I still can't imagine that. [X(]

I wonder how many World titles Emerson Fittipaldi would have had if he had not made the baffling decision to join Copersucar...
Lewis may just have made a decision of equally career destroying proportions [&:]

Copersucar, lol, good point. But at least that was a nice to look car, you have to concede that .
Anyways I think Hamilton will be back to McClaren, not in a year or something, but more when he thinks of retirement.
MC is his home but right now he needs to go out and see the world with different stickers in his hat.
And maybe some day... we will see Lewis joining Alonso in Ferrari.
Now, that would be awesome.

RE: New Grand Prix Season Is Almost Upon Us!!!
I hope I never see the day. Hamilton in a Ferrari.
While I am glad that they do have a car that makes a F1 season interesting, I just find that they bend and twist the rules of the FIA to their own benefit. If someone else does something on a similar scale, they are the first to start wanting penalties, fines, points deducted and whatever they can think of.
I would hate to not be able to support a british driver, just because he is sat in a Ferrari. I just hated it when Mansell drove in red.
Just my 2 pennies.

Well that was quite the season, wish Alonso had won though. But congrads to that lucky Vettel, how he didn't end up in a heap in Brazil I'll never know [:D] I look forward to 2013 which is only 4 1/2 months away!

New cars are starting to appear - I like the Ferrari colour scheme [:)]
I see that Lotus has kept the Platypus nose [:(]

Let's just hope that Adrian Newey was off his face on Special Brew when he designed this one. Another Vettel championship would be soooooo awful its not worth thinking about [X(]

The Sauber came out yesterday I think...its a different scheme this time. Just hope Hulkenburg can do something with it this year like Perez did last year [&:]

Yes, if the car is half decent, Hulkenburg will be one to watch this season.
