Re: Did Vettel Cost Ricciardo The Podium?

Riccardo would have been much closer to Alonso. Maybe he could have put the Ferrari under pressure in the final laps or tried to overtake him on the pits.

What do you think about the first corner incident with Massa? Was it ramming at its finest? Fortunately it seems that any of them got any damage.

Great article, but it seems like the more time passes, the more Alonso's 2012 is overexaggerated. Fourth or even fifth best car? At this rate, 20 years from now the F2012 will be described as the worst F1 car in history Well, the fact is you can read that in many places... when the river sounds car...

BTW, the teams did agree to racing for "no points" if I recall correctly, but it simply was not a reasonable solution.
No points for Michelin cars only, if my memory serves me right. So, what was the inconvenient that made of it an unreasonable solution for BS teams?
