Formula 1 - 2012 Season

The season opener will obviously be won by somebody driving a car.

Could be anyone as testing means little without the facts that we don't have.

Would be nice to have mclaren quickest as it's about time Vettel's "greatness" was actually proven.
 
Apparently Kimi's lap in Top Gear was done on wet conditions, so can't be directly compared to Vettel for example even if the car is the same :(
 
He didn't beat Vettel in Liana, but beats him regularly in badminton (corrected) ;).
Funny interview, really liked it!

Looking forward to the Australian GP; two DRS zones, strategic tyres, 6 world champions on the grid, uncertainty after testing - all in all it has the makings of a great start to the season.

First test tomorrow, let's see what Marussia and HRT can do just getting up and running.

Indeed, definately the most exciting first race since forever :cool:

Got everything loaded, a way to watch british broadcasts, if it fails got australian & usa broadcast as backups, and even if they fail too, I'm 1 click away from finnish broadcast (even if it costs a bit), just hope I don't have to use that last option since the commentary is just pure crap compared to any other F1 broadcast I've seen.
 
Just watched Senna .. amazing.

Don't like the Heikki helmet. Angry Birds on a Formula One helmet? Is nothing scared anymore?!

Sacred is the word you're looking for ;)
But I don't think it's a bad thing, or that it's somehow unfitting. However I would be a bit scared if someone painted his helmet with the green pig, we'd be having some real destruction derby after that :LOL:

To be honest I found Senna a bit dissapointing. Personally I like TT3D: Closer to the edge much better. Its about the Isle of Man TT and what motivates people to go and participate in a race where people die each year. Gives a much better insight in what goes on in the mind of racers than Senna. Not to mention that Guy Martin is just a great bloke.

Senna was a bit to uptight for me. Especially all the God talk. Though the Prost - Senna battle and that dickhead French (duh, French, nobody likes the French) guy from the FIA. ''My solution is always the best!''.

Felt an affinity with Senna - didn't realise he was religious and the "God talk" was what brought me closer to him. Never realised he was such a thinking - only got to know Senna in his latter years of racing. Loved the playboy aspect of him too.. Fast cars and fast women - stuff of legends.

The French dude Balestre - can't beleive how much he really hurt Senna but Prost getting dissed by Selina Scott - priceless!
 
SO then, practice.....

Red Bull sandbagging, (one would think - if not they're screwed), Mercedes not bad, McLaren some 7 tenths ahead. Could be a good season after all.

Prediction for for the grid, 1 Button, 2 Hamilton, 3 Rosberg, 4 Vettel, 5 Schumacher & 6 Alonso.

Hamilton to win the race.
