The Formula 1 2012 Season |OT2| WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THIS SEASON?!

Fucking Kimi man
Vettel on his way to his 3rd championship, no way the Ferrari can catch up now.
Looks like he could have and should have saved it but decided to try to power through the corner anyway and lost it again.
So? He will fail at start and at the end of race he is some where between p7 to p13. I hope he is gone next season so the odd Kobi fever will die. I hope Alanso does well on next race, I really want to sen him take the championship, it's been too long since the last one.
Edit. Or maybe Grosjean will take him out.
Something was not right, he wasn't even showing the finger repeatedly to all cameras around him.

I think he was trying to keep up the momentum otherwise his whole lap would become meaningless, which eventually it did, as it was his last try.
He just made everyone else's meaningless as well :/
Hoping RBR will let Webber race him, but I have a bad feeling that the Aussie will get dicked around again somehow.

Vettel is almost untouchable from pole, and I don't see why Redbull nor Webber would would want to hurt Vettel's challenge
I'm hoping the Kimi will pass Alonso at the start and later on Button does as well so the gap between Alonso and Vettel narrows very quickly
I think that's the whole point if you choose to believe Hamilton's reason
EDIT: What happened to Hamilton?
Yeah, I don't know at all why Webber would want to hurt Vettel's challenge. You're completely right.
1st attempt : used tires and mistanke in S3
2nd attempt: Kimi

After hearing an interview with Hamilton, it looks like he doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Webber's only 33 points behind Vettel and 62 behind Alonso with 6 races still remaining, he should go out for the win tomorrow, don't hold back.

Vettel and Webber looks so jet lagged in the interview. Button as well come to think of it :lol

I didn't realize Kamui was only 26. I really hope he stays at Sauber or at least doesn't leave f1.

Mybe that's why he looked worried when he got out of the car. Still don't expect anything to happen.
Probably only reprimand

why the would they let him race?
Yeeeesssss...?
Merc in a world of hurt. ROS developed the setup into wrong direction, had to scrap everything and use MSC setup for quali - as the result shows.
MSC originally didn´t want to drive in Q2 to save tires, but decided against it in last minute as he thougth he could qualify between P4 and P6. Result P23 instead of P24, and the tires are gone. :-/

Apparently, the same reasons Schuey left champion Bennetton for a Ferrari team that hadn't won a championship in a decade and was off the pace. Ross Brawn channeled a little Pat Riley in convincing him, I guess. They have a chance to be really good. PEACE.

From a technical standpoint, I'm thinking Hamiltons move has a bit to do with Alonso. Having a team fully back you and say they will build around you really counts for a lot. I know he had that with Mclaren but unfortunately Mclaren has only one championship to show for it in 10 years. Also, one must think about the engine situation. If Mercedes already provide great engines for Mclaren, his feedback in the aero and telemetry department could really help improve their process.
Yep, that's all I got :/

It's gone in 2 races anyway, what does it matter if it happens now or in 2 weeks? Or are some of you still thinking that it's going to be exciting until the end?
Oh, I was being sarcastic
Not Webber on his own, but let Webber race against Vettel. It wouldn't be the first time they'd use the "we're only supporting the best chance for WDC" excuse.
I have a feeling Webber will do alright tomorrow. He's had a few good starts this year and he's traditionally done alright at Suzuka. If he can get the jump on him tomorrow, he should be able to hold Vettel off... their times during FP were that damn close I doubt Vettel could find enough time on him to either overtake or pull away.
I didn't see that... at least, they didn't mention it on the broadcast when it happened. Was that during Q3?
PS. Have I mentioned how much I fucking *love* Suzuka?
It wasnt shown, he was apparently blocked going into the last corner apparently.

How is Brawn still in a job at Mercedes anyway? Without Rory or Honda's $1bn, 3 wind tunnels and trick diffuser the guy is a failure.
Vettel will romp away and win tomorrow, Button and Webber 2nd and 3rd
Vettel will romp away and win tomorrow, Button and Webber 2nd and 3rd
Almost all drivers complained about traffic or blocking into the last corner, but it is the same every year in Suzuka
Would be hilarious if Alonso got the penalty for forcing Vetel off. And by funny I mean karmic.

Expected result from Ferrari. All hail to the 2013 WDC.
Unless Webber gives him a good beating tomorrow ...

FIA should include penalties for false reports on blocking/crashing etc
EDIT: Kimi is just awesome.
Yeah, im surprised there isn't any punishment for wasting the stewarts time.
But this time Vettel did get reprimanded, he just didn't get a penalty. So Ferrari wouldnt have been punished anyway
yay, thats good news

I don't think it is. I have nothing against Vettel, He just turns into a faultless F1 robot when he's in the lead, and I'd prefer to see a battle for 1st place.
