Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

It makes me wonder what will happen next in this amazing season.:)

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Great seeing Hamilton on the podium.. It's taken a while this season for him to do it but he has been a lot more stable than last year :clap:

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

I dont see next race being an 8th different winner, i see one of the main guys winning again in valencia

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

I saw people earlier on Twitter and other sites that this season of F1 has been the most boring yet. I mean, 7 different winners in 7 races and the season is boring? So Vettel winning every single race ISN'T boring then?

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Sebastian Vettel secures pole at Valencia, but Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa and Michael Schumacher all fail to make Q3.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Nice to see Red Bull cheating their way to pole again. How come all of a sudden they are doing good? Anyone but Vettel and Alonso tomorrow and I will be happy.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Yes l will be cheering on Lewis again.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Cheating in what way? as i haven't read anything about cheating.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Just a bit suss that they sucked up until the last couple of races and suddenly are doing well. That was all I meant. As well as their car was ruled illegal after Monaco.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

It looks like they have brought some huge upgrades to the car this weekend.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

LH thinks a Lotus will win, making an 8th different winner

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

That would be staggering if that happens but l cannot see that scenario happening today.

Maria de Villota has lost an eye in the accident :(

Seems to be a bad week for vehicular news with 3 planes crashing, this accident and also a Honda employee dying in a crash at Millbrook :(

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

That is terrible news. I can only hope that she is able to recover from this. Get well soon.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Thats very sad news and l hope she makes a recovery from this.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Maria de Villota lost her right eye in the crash. I hope that we find out why it was that the car apparently accelerated into the lorry :(

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

From weather report it will be a dry qualifying and a wet race. That makes it intresting. What do you think there quli set up will be?

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Bad luck to Button if he had to back off because of a yellow flag!

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Jenson Button out of Q1

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

I wonder if the 24th car will be allowed to race tomorrow, as I would assume the only reason he failed to get inside the 107% cut off was because of the weather, so hopefully they will let him race.

Nice to see the HRT cars getting a bit better, and making the 107% cut off now.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Red flagged with 6min 19secs remaining of Q2 due to heavey rain

---------- Post added at 13:49 ---------- Previous post was at 13:48 ----------

HRT's still need to leave F1. There is no need for them to be there, they are alwasy at the back, always the slowest cars and there are no signs of them becoming a midfield team any time soon. At least Catherham and Murassia are going forwards

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Not having a good time is he.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Ferrari cheat to pole yet again.

Please explain how a drive can get a faster time (in Q2) under a yellow flag, thus enabling alfonso to go in to Q3, and get pole.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

As Paul Di Resta pointed out, it's up to the Stewards to decide. Managed to see the final parts of qualifying via live stream on the BBC. Seems that the tennis is of greater importance than F1 :(

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Superb from Alonso! and great brilliant from Michael too!

That's a subject that can't be discussed on a family friendly forum Den. I have a strong suspicion that the swear filter will be unable to cope. What a crock of <add your own expletive>. Nonetheless, we have youngest daughter home for the week and she's doing well. Thanks :D

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Why did the BBC stop coverage of F1 qualifing in HD halfway through?

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

probably didnt see a point in broadcasting rain in HD and instead switched to tennis. skys f1 in hd is the only way forward

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Only if you can aford skyHD and sky f1HD, If I couldn't get cable I wouldn't get sky.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Mark Webber wins the British grand prix.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Better than Alonso or Vettel winning it. I think now thou Alonso wil win drivers championship and Red Bull the constructers championship

---------- Post added at 14:35 ---------- Previous post was at 14:33 ----------

Alonso with his bottom lip out just before podium hahaha

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Yes l am glad that sourface Alonso did not win it and least those Aussies can win something.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

What has happened to him? He has gone from a good and safe drive to a bad and wreckless driver, maybe the win in spain had something to do with it

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Can see Vettel jumping to Ferrari and Hamilton replacing him at Redbull. Hamilton in a stable RedBull.... :erm:

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

No l cannot see that happening at the present time adzii.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

What I read somewhere on the Net, cannot for the life of me remember where now, that from 2013 Vettel would leave Red Bull and join McLaren, Massa leaves Ferrari for Red Bull and Hamilton switches to Ferrari to drive with Alonso.

Personally, I think it would never work with Alonso and Hamilton driving for the same team. But I can see Hamilton moving to Red Bull to work with Webber.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Vettel supposedly has an agreement with Ferrari I believe for the 2014 season. It may come as early as next season, we remain to see.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Wont happen in my opion. Its just make up stuff. Ham and Alo will not be in same team again

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Spot on Mr Stokes.:)

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

It's amazing what money can do.. If alonso wins the championship and Lewis comes in as the 2nd driver it may just happen

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Money can talk alot but it still wont happen. Ham will not want a repeat of their relationship from 07

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

'07 never bothered Ham like it did Alfonso who at the time didn't like playing 2nd fiddle.. Ferrari won't do that to him "if" he wins the championship this year..

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

The rumour is about Vettel Joining Alonso at Ferrari and Hamilton going to Redbull, What's that got to do with Hamilton and Alonso pairing up?

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Ham wont go to red bull as bbc say he is more than likely sign a contract with Mclaren and of course Web is staying at RB

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Fernando Alonso takes pole position at Hockenheim.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18928948

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

It would seem that Hamilton is staying with Mclaren and Webber has signed a contract for next year with Red Bull. Did you see the feature on the ECU for the 2014 engine? A 2.7 turbocharged V6. In the mid 1980's they could get 1500 bhp from a 1500cc in qualifying trim and 1200 for the race. I imagine that they'll enforce massive restrictions on the new lump. The current 2.4 V8 is producing 750 bhp with no forced induction (although KERS gives an extra 80 briefly). My best friend has a Prodrive Subaru Impreza with 315 ponies, that's quite quick! He won't let me drive it though :(

Sadly. Its because its Red Bull its NFA. If it was Mclaren there would have been a punishment.

The winner of the German GP is Fernando Alonso. 2nd is Sebastian Vettel and 3rd is Jenson Button

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

It shows how rubbish either Hamilton or the McLaren car is when even the HRT cars can complete a race but Hamilton can't. If he wasn't a local, I wouldn't even care about him. And I'm gutted Alonso won as well. Wish he could have an accident that keeps him out for 3 or 4 races and let others overtake him at the top.

Apparently Vettel is under investigation for an overtake on Button, he'll probably get away with it.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

No he will get a 25 second penalty Mark one suspects.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

The car was damaged thats why it was a DNF. I still think HRT need to leave F1. It is a shame Alonso won and would have been great if he brakes his legs at some point soon that means he cant finish the season.

I hope so as well but i think he will get away with just a Repramand as its Vettel and Red Bull

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Some of us may not wish him to win like myself but wishing someone to break there legs is very :td:

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Ok maybe just 1 leg :D

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

or may be none!

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Vettel handed 20 sec penalty which demotes him to 5th.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Excellent, at least they got something against them today.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Schuey once broke both his legs and was racing again before the season ended

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Yes but he spent most of that season out of season. Was 99 season

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

1 place would have been fine

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

I agree, he gained a place that he should have given back. A penalty was deserved imho, however I think that was a slight overreaction.

Grojean looks at fault.

Nah there was one at Spa 1998 where DC hit some water at the start and nearly every car was effected.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFkZgQxJCCE

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

Was Gorsjean's fault. 1998 Start was the best crash ever. 13 cars damaged but back then there were spare cars. Shame Hamilton is out due to crash as i think he was really the only one who could actually challenge Alonso for the title .

It also ended with Senna having the fastest lap of the race. The first time a Senna has had the fastest lap of the race since the European GP in 1993.

Re: Formula 1 2012 season
 

I read somewhere yesterday evening, can't remember where but will search for it, that Hamilton tweeted sensitive information about McLaren car set-ups on Twitter. I'm rapidly going off Hamilton, ever since he sacked his dad as manager he has grown into an egotistical moron with none of the talent he showed in his first 2 seasons.

The way he is going, he will be lucky to have a seat with HRT next year.

Found a link to the story. Think I first saw it on BBC Sport website.
