The winner of the 2012 F1 Championship...

Hurricanes25 · 03-17-2012, 07:23 PM

I think Hamilton takes the championship this year. There was a rule change (can't remember what it was) but it's supposedly going to negatively impact the Red Bull guys.

I actually don't have a favorite driver at the moment. I was a Vettel fan and still am but I kind of gotten bored with him dominating the last few years.

I've always rooted for the Toro Rosso cars as well.

I liked Vettel as well until he started winning. Now i hate the little ******!

Other than Hamilton i'd say my favourite driver is Button but then thats just cus he's british and Lewis' teammate.

I still love Vettel even though he wins all the time lol

I did find it funny how the F1 commish said Red Bull and Vettel were bad for F1 as a whole lol

Ferrari better get their **** together...Alonso and Massa looked pretty bad.

Philliez01 · 03-17-2012, 08:18 PM

Call me when Minardi wins.

JRTPlaya21 · 03-18-2012, 02:14 AM

Go Lewis Hamilton!!!!

slightlyaraiderfan · 03-18-2012, 03:32 AM

Good race and ending, buttons race the whole way through. Vettel is a beast too

Got back into f1 late last season, glad it's back and was happy for the favorable west coast start time

JoeJoeBrown · 03-18-2012, 08:55 AM

Can't wait for the race here in Austin.

SuperPacker · 03-18-2012, 10:52 AM

Just watched the race. Slightly dissapointed with 3rd but oh well. I felt bad for Pastor Maldanado when he crashed out on the last lap.

Williams, Torro Rosso and Renault all impressed on the first race of the season. The battle for 5th should be exciting this year.

Gay Ork Wang · 03-18-2012, 05:45 PM

Germany loves Vettel

Hurricanes25 · 03-18-2012, 07:52 PM

Of course my DVR decides not to record the race. Where was Maldanado running when he crashed?

6th. I was gutted for him!

Raiderz4Life · 03-19-2012, 12:08 PM

I saw that...that was pretty insane lol

SuperPacker · 03-24-2012, 08:14 AM

Everyone watching qualifying?

SuperPacker · 03-24-2012, 09:00 AM

Another pole for Hamilton! He obviously has the one lap pace but hopefully he can start turning the poles into wins.

Michael Schumacher was great, Vettel has an interesting tactic. He'll be starting on the hard tires and will have fresh soft tires which will leave him in good stead for the race.
