F1 2012 brazilian grand prix11/6/2022
Allowing Hamilton to slip away and missing the chance to replace him with a solid driver leaves a sour aftertaste on a McLaren season which began with so much promise. #F1 2012 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX PROFESSIONAL#Perez may have put up more headlines throughout the year but Hulkenberg’s season, in a car which was inferior to Perez’s Sauber, revealed a promising and professional driver with nowhere to go but forward. It is hard to find fault for McLaren’s results by looking in the cockpit.įinally, I think this race showed what might be the most egregious misstep McLaren made all year. While Button struggled upon the return to Europe, he showed strong form from Spa onward. Hamilton drove some of the best drives of the year and put up mind-bending times in qualifying. Ultimately, reliability issues, poor strategic decisions, and inconsistent pit stops cost them the WDC and possibly even the WCC. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that this was McLaren’s year – locking out the front row at the first and final races of the season and showing strong pace throughout the year. – Goodbye Koba, goodbye Senna – they both squandered their chances to make a last massively good impression this season that could have helped their ratings. There’s no way Di Resta has what it takes to lead a team or to be the first driver, for that instance. – Force India will need to bring a solid driver in next season. – Grosjean is still both mental and inexperienced. And yeah…they’ve both trashed their much more experienced team mates here. They seem to get along fine even when they are in separate teams. – Petrov and Pic could go well together at Caterham next season. That was a simple racing incident in very tough track conditions. And I still think his penalty was nonsense. Sure he’s made a couple of mistakes that ultimately cost him the win but he’s definitely got what it takes to take up a second seat in a top team. His pace in the wet has been truly outstanding. I’m guessing one season at Sauber and he’s up for Massa’s place at the Scuderia. And I’m expecting that bubble to burst in 2013. – Webber is not Massa and he’s clearly not ok with playing second fiddle for Vettel. Maybe that was his issue all along: Hamilton. Maybe he actually has what it takes to lead that McLaren team and charge for the WDC next season, with Hamilton out of the way, afterall. – I’ve watched Button race like a madman in Austin and win here. There’s more titles to be won and I can’t imagine an universe where at least one or two of those don’t go Alonso’s way in the following years. Button won his 15th F1 race in this 2012 Brazil Formula 1 Grand Prix. #F1 2012 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX DRIVERS#After spinning in the first lap Sebastian Vettel still managed to win his 3rd F1 drivers championship. Alonso did a very good job by finishing second en Massa got 3rd in his home Grand Prix. – Alonso is one hell of a driver and this last podium this season, under all this pressure, has established him as one of the sport’s greats. Jenson Button won the last F1 Grand Prix of 2012 in Brazil. We believe that a new generation of exciting, outspoken drivers will make F1 more popular than ever.
