I personally believe the closest thing we've got is a Vettel - Webber for 2012.

The real F1-GAF is the F1-GAF that has these great discussions between races . I honestly haven't found anywhere else on the internet like this thread.

As much as it saddens me to say it, I really don't think Webber is getting anywhere near Vettel unless he can master the Pirelli tyres (provided that is the actual reason he's not as close as last year).
Webbers chance is gone for good. He had is chance in 2010 but he can't touch Vettel anymore. Plus Vettel would never badmouth or even criticize him in the slightest in public.Sleeplessnights said:
I think the worst he ever said about Webber was that 'they'd probably never be best friends.'

Yeah, that's very true.
I just hope it doesn't boil down to Mark supporting Vettel and not actually winning races.
We've got some amazing races coming up, so hopefully that shouldn't be a problem.

It can go one of two ways. Either everyone but the two of them are eliminated from possibly winning so they let them fight it out in the last 2-3 races, or Mark is demoted to protector of Seb's championship and he defends against a small field of 3-4 potential winners.
I have some amazing hi-res media pictures I'm uploading. Schumacher got a really cool gift from Ferrari (not the helmet.) Plus, seeing a Senna in a Black/Gold Lotus is quite creepy in a good way.

Singapore is such an exciting race, I love seeing the F1 cars driving around at night. Also the reason why I make an exception for Abu Dhabi on the calendar :lol
Abu Dhabi has to the most exciting race of the year, i must have watched last years race 4 times. Really hope drs and kers will make it even more exciting this year.

Abu Dhabi is such a great track (I did a couple of karting there). Such an expensive ticket price though, even if it gives you access to Ferrari World. :\
Hamilton got a bad rep from his season with Alonso as his team mate. Hamilton threw a monkey wrench in the system because he had the balls to not let himself be treated like a servant driver. Some people found that to be arrogant.
The truth is Alonso is a very dominant dude and he wants to control the team he is in. He requested for unfair shit at McLaren, had Piquet Jr. crash for a victory at Renault and we know what fiddle Massa is playing at Ferrari currently. Vettel and Alonso would be TNT. Vettel and Hamilton would be extremely competitive but manageable - if those wunderkind backers could keep their shit to themselves.

I'm sure Domenicali would've been more grateful, if Schumacher didn't betray him.Ark said:

I saw the movie few weeks ago and thought it was pretty disappointing. Now I'm not sure if I should gift it to my brother. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to watch, but after all the hype here I expected a bit more than things I already knew.Edmond Dantès said:Anyone else hoping to get this for a Christmas gift?

The film is more about telling a story than documenting tiny little details that a die hard fan would want to know.brotkasten said:
That's why it's so good, I think. It transcends the F1 fans.
Just got done watching the canada grand prix, one of the many races iv seen the past few weeks. And man it it nice to rewatch races, i noticed things i did not when watching them live. One of the things is how lucky vettel is sometimes. Not only does he seem to able to keep himself out of trouble, but he is the one that benefits the most of his opponents screwing up. Either its one of them crashing or some one else taking points of the other.
Also that canada race, both button and vettel got lucky in a way. Vettel got screwed by 2 safety cars when he was building his lead, and button got lucky he had the rain coming in when was on inter's.
So far this season has been amazing, it had almost everything. Drama, crashes, overtakes, strategy, rain, chaos. You name it, we had it this year. While i would love for vettel to win next year as well. A combination of this year's excitement and last years close battle for the championship would make 2012 the best season ever for me.

I know. Boy, do I knowArk said:This is true, but Webber still has yet to win a race this season
I hope Spa was a wake up call re: his starts. Rather than relax, they should get him in a simulator where all he does is start over and over. As much as I'd love for this to be sarcastic, it seems like it's really the only thing holding him back. The rest of his driving is pretty much flawless.
Agreed on Vettel's luck, too. Safety car over the weekend AND the Hamilton DNF were just ridiculous strokes of good fortune.

The only thing this season's lacking apart from a tight championship battle and a Webber victory is a Schumacher podium. He came tantalisingly close in Canada, but it just wasn't enough.Omiee said:

Ark said:I'm having giant flashbacks of the first half of the season when you kept on going on about how Vettel had no luck at all
Ah come on now, you sometimes get caught in the excitement. Also its not just the luck, its just how much he seems to capitalize on his opponents misfortune.

I was just thinking, how about we leave Spa in and remove Bahrain? Since it's a really boring race to watch.
Also, does Nicole still go to races? I haven't seen her since Monaco, maybe she doesn't like Hamilton's style of driving any more.

My calender would be;
Melbourne
Kuala Lumpur
Jerez
Monaco
Magny-Cours
Portimao
Silverstone
Red Bull Ring (A1 Ring)
Hockenheim
Montreal
Texas*
Spa
Monza
Suzuka
Potrero de los Funes (Argentina)
Interlagos
* Depends on the circuit
My dream calender would add;
Le Mans and the Nordschleife alternating as the European GP.
