Dec.6 (GMM/Inautonews.com) McLaren fielded the consistently fastest car in 2012, an analysis has shown. proof that the lewis and button failed miserably.

Don't shoot me but this is analysis conducted by a known HamLover! And it's giving plenty of other HamLovers chance to read is and touch themselves in a pleasurable way...

That argument doesnt pass muster unfortunately. He should have also let Kobayashi past instead of spinning him around illegally

I was dismayed to see Schumacher let Vettel past the way he did - pretty miserable sportsmanship in hindsight. I say that because he then fought Kobayashi very hard and spun him around. (ot for which he should have got a penalty). So I find it hard to buy the argument that "didn’t want to get in the...

Kudos to Hulkenberg. He has been very good in the last part of the season and he drove a superb race in Brazil. He had some great overtakes. He (along with Button) was able to drive through the first rain period on slicks and on one laps were 6 sec faster than Massa who then pitted for inters. He wa...

Unlucky ?? He was the luckiest giuy to have the best car in the field. Alonso Vettel or Kimi would have won the WDC by a mile in his shoes. Surely he had a chance to make his own luck. He chokes under pressure and also has this banzai attitude expecting everyone else to get out of the way. He needs ...

Alonso post race in Brazil "The championship was not lost here," said Alonso. "The championship was lost when [Romain] Grosjean flew over my head [at Spa] or when Vettel surprisingly only got a reprimand after qualifying in Japan.

Less than two hours to go until the Brazilian GP and the 2012 WDC is decided. Through the season it has been a fascinating battle between the two best drivers on the grid who have demonstrated that they are a class above the rest (except Kimi). Unfortunatley Alonso has not had a strong car and Vette...

Vettel.

Vettel got fastest lap on the last lap as he was looking for it and took the normal racing line to the finish

Hamilton took the diagonal towards his team at the pit boards . If he had taken the same line as Vettel he would have been faster imo

Nov.21 (GMM/Inautonews.com) Rumours of ‘financial difficulty’ at Lotus are continuing. Early this week, it was claimed Kimi Raikkonen’s place at the Enstone based team might actually be in doubt for 2013. Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport said there is an issue in terms of promised bonus money in the F...

I wouldn't expect the Ferrari to be strong in the wet now as it was early in the year. Early in the year it was best at heating up its tyres and hence it was the best in the wet. The current spec of the car is slower than the Red Bull and Mclaren in heating its tyres.

A similar situation was very close to happening in 2007. The 2007 WDC finished with 110 points for Kimi and 109 points for Hamilton. Kimi had 6 wins for the season to Hamiltons 4 If Hamilton went into the Brazil race with 6 victories , and if the race was ending as it were (Hamilton 7th and Alonso 3...

If Sauber's biggest sponsor has its way, Esteban Gutierrez will next year line up on the grid alongside confirmed 2013 driver Nico Hulkenberg.

I watched a video recently where Mark gave himself a rating of 6 out of 10 when it comes to dealing with pressure. Do you think it's plausible that perhaps Mark is a little stumped psychologically?

Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko has pointed some criticism at Mark Webber, after the Australian bowed out of mathematical contention for the 2012 title with a messy race in Abu Dhabi.

Not that I believe it but you can also ask the alternate question Is Hamilton sabotaging Mclaren? After all he is driving the car and by pressing the wrong buttons/switches he can easily cause a mechanical issue. That would explain more why he has more problems than Button. Yeah, i dont know why th...

Its one thing to say that he was lucky in AD 2012 and that the words being thrown around like "best ever drive" & "champions drive" is all BS. I thiink that is justifiable and arguable.

Asked, “How long will your celebrations of this win last ?” the notoriously bibulous Finn said, “I have almost two weeks. As long as I manage to get myself to the next race I think the team is happy.

Some atrocious driving today - Perez the worst of them

He overtook Grosjean off the track. He should have got a drive through for not giving the position back.

Pure delusion but I can understand how threads like this give some fans comfort and that is a good thing as the odds are very slim that hamilton will win another WDC. Its all about the WDC. Ranking the drivers on the grid , Hamilton is purely midfield in the 2012 class. Vettel, Alonso and Kimi are t...

Ferrari is focused on improving the rear wing of its 2012 car, as Fernando Alonso pushes to rescue his dwindling championship challenge to Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.

James Allen sums it up nicely. I expected it to come down to Vettel and Alonso so not surprised by that. I think its going to go down to the last race and I that losing the WDC lead gives Alonso a better chance to compete and win rather than a 2010 style mugging out of nowhere. http://forum.planet-f...

Sam has a point. The Mclaren was faster than the redbull for the majority of the year and probably still is on some tracks. Unfortunately McLaren does not have the caliber of drivers to maximize the cars' potential

"Normally when a car oversteers, a driver corrects it by lifting off the throttle and/or applying opposite lock.

Newey and Vettel are the reasons for Red Bull's dominance.
