[FB]

You know I could have sworn this thread was about the 2012 season, not just Lewis Hamilton. Ho hum.

Even if driving-wise he would have also earned it, I am glad that Fernando's self-propaganda this year was not rewarded, I am not sure how Jenson won it over Lewis though... this was probably Jenson's weakest McLaren year. Heck, I would have nominated Lewis for DotY.

Here's an excellent analysis of the speed of the the 2012 teams. McLaren come out first, no surprise there. However Ferrari were actually quicker than in 2011, also Lotus were quicker than them this year in qualifying trim yet only achieved one race win to Ferrari's 3, looks like they know when to take their chances.

No problem at all no-FIAt-please, the content is still on their site

I did something similar last year but it was inconclusive and I didn't really see the benefit to it so didn't bother this year: http://cliptheapex.com/threads/2011-relative-qualifying-pace.2411/

I've been thinking about finding a good way to calculate race pace, but it's complicated.

I'll be posting something along the lines of these sorts of posts sometime soon* hopefully, and not just for 2012.

*by the end of the year, maybe.
