That said, I'm sure these three still have quite a few years left so they have many more chances to keep winning.

Re: Congratulations Vettel 2012 WDC
Ferrari qualifies behind Red Bull, McLaren, Lotus, Mercedes, and Force India in the big title decider? Alonso qualifies 2 posns and 3 tenths behind Massa with his back to the wall? Think we can safely say Red Bull have this one in the bag. Maybe Lewis will smash Seb first corner in some sort of str...

Re: How Luck can affect life
When you're Hamilton, Vettel or Alonso, having the best car goes beyond luck. Fangio was happy to switch from team to team when he recognised another would provide him with the best car. Unfortunately modern drivers look more into their paycheque than at what records they can break. If Hamilton was...

Re: How Luck can affect life
I certainly agree we have 3 outstanding drivers here, it will ultimately be machinery that separates them when the WDCs are totted up in the history books.

I think realistically you can have 2 options for a true level playing field, a spec series which rules out the factory constructors and few want so can't happen or a reasonable and fairly enforsed budget cap which would get my vote.

Re: What does everyone think of the new track?
Wish they'd found a way to pre-rubber the overtaking zones off-line. Otherwise, I like it. But when the drivers are saying it's too slippery off-line, and Pirelli is saying it will be a 1-stopper, it sounds like it might become a boring procession this first year. I think that the slippery track wi...
