Are there any youtube videos or gifs from the Vettel/Schumacher overtake close to the end?
The Formula 1 2012 Season |OT2| WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THIS SEASON?!

I think the brat is the guy proclaiming himself the best driver of the season when instead he should be recognizing he was beaten by V3ttel yet again.

On driving alone I reckon Hamilton deserved it more than anyone this year... and that coming from someone who really doesn't like Hamilton.
This year was far away from those Schumi Domination years (2001-2004). I don't mind Vettel winning as long as he doesn't dominate as he did last year.

While I can't say that the season was boring, Red Bull did such a leap after the break, that they kind of dominated 2011 style.

In three of those races the Mclaren was faster on race pace. They just didn't finish...

what? In Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Brazil had McLaren the best car.
Red Bull had Japan, Korea and India. And Mclaren and Red Bull were on par in the USA.

Some interesting fun facts:
More: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/11/26/2012-brazilian-grand-prix-stats-facts/
- This is the third time Alonso has been within 5 points of winning the Drivers’ Championship.
- In both of Schumacher’s last races before his retirements, the podium featured Alonso, Massa and Button.
- McLaren scored points in every race where Hamilton and Button were team mates.
- Maldonado became the first driver to receive a penalty for collecting too many reprimands.
- His third reprimand of the year earned him his tenth penalty of 2012, giving him twice as many as any other driver.
- Kimi Raikkonen’s mistake in trying to rejoin the track via a closed escape road cost him a lot of time and led to him being lapped. As a result he failed to complete every lap of the 20-race season – he did 1,191 out of 1,192.

And HRT scored the same amount of points in every race they participated on the last three seasons!
that BBC wrap up made Speed TV's goodbye ending look like a school play.
I'm pissed that Steve Matchett is moving to NBC with F1. could have used some fresh blood. His insights are old and washed up from nostalgia-land and not grounded in a lot of current information. Need new blood. Not to mention he is a boring arrogant ass.

They'd start grafting on fingers from Torro Rosso drivers.

Tried bringing the fan car back, put it on the bottom of the car instead of the rear. Bad luck, Sauber!

Jokes aside, author of that 'shop really displayed the essence of Kobayashi. Hope he gets a seat next season in F1. Was sad when I saw his recent website..

This is actually F1 2012 the game.
Best part is that it isn't a shop. Incredible picture.

Though having said that, Petrov was all but written off even a week into testing this year until Trulli got the boot. So there's still hope.
Yeah. I think he made the same mistake lots of drivers do when they have a midfield car of being too aggressive, to try to prove how fast they are. The pressure must be crazy when you are so close to a good drive.
This cost Perez so many points since the McClaren announcement. He did great in the Sauber because of his relaxed easy driving. All of that went out once he felt he had something to prove.

Mark Webber meant to do that, Koba just launched off the ground because Monaco couldn't handle 24 AI cars at the same time.

Sorry guys, but no. I like Mark, I really do. But even Petrov beats him to that.

I really feel sorry for Alonso, I really want him to win another WDC he really deserves more than 1, but he's in the wrong team. I can never support a red driver (Kimi was the only exception)

He broke the car after, 4.6/10

We all know hovering is the best driving style to save tyres. You're only trying to make Webber look good
