Re: Best 2012 car for a wet race?

@Alienturnedhuman I do agree with the facts you stated (was referring to practice in Turkey as the race was dry) but as I stated he hasn't been 'mega' as someone else stated earlier. He was beaten by Webber on two of these occasions which didn't really happen in the dry, if that makes sense? Monza ...

Re: Best 2012 car for a wet race?

I wouldn't count the Mercs out if it stays wet throughout. Schumacher was doing quite well at Canada last year until the track dried out and DRS was enabled.

I don't mean to be nasty but where has Vettel been 'mega' in the rain? last year: Turkey - crashed Nurburgring - was pretty poor to be fair Canada - blew it under pressure (IMO had McLarens been higher up in qualy they would have dominated like the RB did and then won) Silverstone - lost to Webber ...

Re: Kovalainen's New Helmet. (Pics)

While it is a good execution of the idea. I think it's a horrible step back from the helmet he was wearing during testing.

If I still had my Kawasaki green Ninja I'd be masking off one of my black helmets to get a similar design right now.

Re: Who's comeback had higher hopes?

While I'm a huge Kimi fan, I'm also a realist. Although some of the more rabid fans might be predicting a mighty year for the Finn, I think it will only be a middling kind of season for him. Yes the Lotus seems like it could start the season on par with last years car, and hopefully they'll be able ...

Besides China, I don't quite remember McLaren every being any closer than 20 - 30 seconds behind Vettel. Really? He only won by 20 seconds once in Australia (22.2), and two other times by more than 10 seconds, Korea (12.0) and Valencia (10.8). Impressive yes, but not 20-30 seconds every time. Meanw...

I really want to see a kinetic KERS system working well.

Is it just me or are the fro...

Caterham were/are mid-field?! Really? :uhoh: They haven't been. However they were starting nip at Williams heels toward the end of last season even without KERS. So it's quite possible they will make the step up into the back end of the midfield this year, but I don't believe they'll be strongest o...
