The 2012 Season

[RasputinLives]

Thats makes it all clear

 

[Bill Boddy]

The Schumacher part certainly is.

That graph is too hard to follow

I believe that is the point I am making. Most drivers' lines last year looked like de la Rosas!

 

[Slyboogy]

And I was proving your point

 

[Jos the Boss]

I was going off the FIA...

 

[MCLS]

Interesting stat for you, the top 7 in the championship are separated by 20 points, after 5 races last season the top 7 were separated by 93!

I have to say I'm loving this season! After Malaysia, I thought that a) Sauber would be comfortably ahead and not be caught in the constructrors, and b) I thought Pérez wouldn't be caught by Kamui, but after Spain, he's only 1 point behind

Also, look who are the worst of the 'established' teams...

It's the 2006 Ferrari pairing of the pensioner and Felipe baby

Hmm, what were 2-7 seperated by though?

 

[Josephiah]

Yeah, if he keeps this trend up, he'll be 4th in Brazil...

Another stat, 1st-24th is separated by 61 points!

Pirelli have announced the tyre compounds up to Silverstone.

Soft and hard at Silverstone is an interesting choice.

 

[RickD]

To answer my own question, 2-7 were seperated by 52 points last year after 5 races.

At the rate this season's going, teabagyokel , you might run out of colours to use in your signature.

The colours are all lined up, don't worry about it!

Prost is saying F1 2012 is perhaps too unpredictable?! Funny how people compare Hamilton's style to Senna and Button' style to Prost because Prost think Button may be the favourite for the title due to his consistency.

Personally I don't think is too predictable, although my preferred season would be with 3/4 drivers challenging for the title (much like 2010) as well as exciting individual races. I honestly think we'll get that this season once things settle down and the teams get an understanding of how the tyres work at different circuits.

Who needs predictable? Anyway we can predict this: The folk's who want their bloke to win will be disappointed when he doesn't and chuffed to bits when he does, but ... they will be bored stiff if it all pans out exactly as they expect.

Ferrari's upturn in form regarding their chassis's competitiveness compared to the car that looked almost undriveable in Melbourne reminds a bit of McLaren's halfway through the 2009 season.
One common denominator: Pat Fry.

Ferrari's poor 2012 challenger reminds me of McLaren's 2009 car.
One common denominator: Pat Fry.

 

[Incubus]

Pat Fry didn't design the 2012 car though, Tombazis is credited with the chief design.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Fry has been at Ferrari since 1st July 2010, and became director of chassis on May 24 2011. That's just about when the 2012 challenger would have started to be designed.
