Yojoe36 Posted 30 December 2011 Share Posted 30 December 2011 Finally, an F1 2012 thread. Hopefully McLaren will make the improvements to match RB next year. Otherwise, we'll be in for another one-sided season. Can't see Ferrari doing amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 30 December 2011 Share Posted 30 December 2011 McLaren would of started developing for this year fairly early as the title was long gone, hopefully Lewis can put Vettel in his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesAreBlue Posted 1 January 2012 Author Share Posted 1 January 2012 F1 2011 review on BBC1 later today. Missed it because of the city game - I feel I chose the wrong option! Ah well, there's always iplayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cairnsy Posted 1 January 2012 Share Posted 1 January 2012 Cant see any others challenging for the title other than red bull and mclaren, but unless mclaren find some serious improvement in their performance i can see the finger pointing **** winning the championship again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Posted 2 January 2012 Share Posted 2 January 2012 I don't see the order of the grid changing much until 2014 when the next major rule changes are put into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 Yeah, I think Vettel will do it again. He has the best car, arguably the most ability and a team-mate past his peak who probably won't take too many race wins off him. But hopefully there'll be a surprise result or two as well, with Massa getting back to winning ways, Ferrari and McLaren both winning at least four each, and Mercedes to get their first race win since coming back. My prediction for the top 5 in the championship: 1 Vettel 2 Alonso 3 Webber 4 Button 5 Massa 1 Red Bull 2 Ferrari 3 McLaren 4 Lotus 5 Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 I bet my left bollock that Hamilton is in the top 5, and i'd say that if I hated him as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewbenson/2012/01/barrichello_back_in_williams_f.html Would love Rubens to stay in for another season too. As cute and talented as the likes of Sutil and Alguersuari are, for THAT Hockenheim win alone Rubens always has a place in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 I bet my left bollock that Hamilton is in the top 5, and i'd say that if I hated him as much as you do. Only just made the top five this year though, didn't he? Not exactly golden bollocks any more, and as much as I'm not a massive Jenson fan either, Button completely showed him up last year in HIS team. You know Felipe baby will come back to form with a point to prove, knowing his Ferrari exit is inevitable at the end of the term. He'll obviously want to stay in F1, and I don't see why he can't snap up a really strong race seat with somebody in 2013 - just needs to display his obvious ability a bit more.

Stinkenzo Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 Only just made the top five, what, by 109 points? bad bad trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 3 January 2012 Share Posted 3 January 2012 Only just made the top five, what, by 109 points? bad bad trolling. lol Please, please, get rid of the delusion you seem so keen to entertain that I feel the need to 'troll' - I'm just giving my honest assessment. I wonder how much closer Felipe would have been to Hamilton had Lewis not kept taking him out at practically every ****ing race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 So Hamilton's only just making the top five is proof he won't make it this year, whilst Massa's failure to do so is proof he will make it. Loving the logic. I think we all know Hamilton has had a tough year on and off the track. Now he's not got all the upheaval, I think we all know he'll improve. He won races last year and showed glimpse of form. Massa has no such excuse for his poor form and showed nothing last year to suggest this year will be any better. I'll take a bet with you right now, Hamilton will be top five and Massa won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asha Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 I'd happily take that. So, when Massa finishes in the top five, or Hamilton doesn't, I walk away with how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I see Mercedes improving this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaidno Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 Massa will be out of Ferrari at the end of the year. I'm guessing Sergio Perez (contracted to Ferrari) will replace him , or a fully fit Kubica. Big season for Paul Di Resta, Schumacher's seat at Mercedes should be availabe at the end of the season.

isaidno Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 Looking at Gp ticket prices for this season. A 3 day general admission ticket at Silverstone is £174. A 3 day ticket for Spa is £20 . Silverstone is ridiciously overpriced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asha Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 A 3 day ticket for Spa is £20 That can't be right, surely? I'm looking around a bit myself - thinking maybe Valencia, or Hungary. Would love to see a Ferrari win at Monza though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asha Posted 4 January 2012 Share Posted 4 January 2012 I'm pretty impartial in your Ferrari / McLaren jizzfest but Massa to finish above Hamilton!? lol The problem Facecloth has though is that he's completely underestimating Felipe, but he's not the only one. Even on most betting sites, you can get better odds on Rosberg to win the title than Felipe, which is ****ing ridiculous when you consider Rosberg hasn't even come close to winning a race, and is in a car completely incapable of doing so. He'll know this is his last chance really to have a crack at winning a deserved to title, so why not? Hamilton will get just as frustrated at being outshone by Button that he'll try even more ridiculous overtakes, make further stupid comments in the press, fluke a win or two (to exclamations of 'HE'S BACK!') and finish outside the top five, I think. I'm seriously tempted to meet Facecloth on his 50 (even though I was thinking more like 5 ), because even if Hamilton has a good season and scrapes top five again, considering Massa finds himself in the top three teams, there isn't all that much to suggest he won't necessarily come sixth out of six.

Ryanside Posted 5 January 2012 Share Posted 5 January 2012 I've been twice to spa twice and the 3 day ticket is 100€ at the early bird special price. No chance being 20! Would love to know where I can get those tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
