FIA Formula 1 Championship 2012

^

Unpredictable mga teams ngayon so far with the 5 races I think this year. Those winning teams are consistently inconsistent.

[fourtheboys96]

5 grand prix

5 winning drivers

5 winning constructor

The window of optimum tyre operation is so small that is why it is very hard to predict the outcome of each race.

I wanna see Schumi winning yet again at the Monaco grand prix tapos si Kimi naman sunod.

Schumi really f***ed up there. Even had the brass to call Senna an idiot.

Senna defended on the inside, but left one car's width on the inside... then took a legal move back to the racing line, leaving the legal one car's width on the outside... Schumi feinted inside, feinted outside, forgot what he was doing and drove straight down the middle of the road into Senna. That five place penalty is too light... for dangerous driving, ten should be the norm.

Great race for Pastor... terrific strategy for Williams... too bad about the fire... but it didn't appear to start under Bruno's car (which is mostly in one piece) from some of the video stills it started as an electrical fire in the back... but we'll wait for word.

Shame about Lewis' race. Amazing driving to get that car up past Button from very last... and on a two-stop strategy versus the three-stops everyone else was doing... Vettel managed to do a good job of recovering from that drive-through penalty, too.

Button, Webber, and most of all, Massa... all seemed out of it today. Not a good day to be a number two on a big team, as the other teams were all up in their arses.

-

Only one other thing to say about this race... Kamikazeee Kobayashi! Banzai! Yatta!!!!!!

[KERSMcRae]

nakakainis naman. interview na nung nagising ako... basa na lang din ako sa internet..
question is sino kaya ang mananalo sa sunod na race..

[Monseratto]

May malaking sunog sa Williams Pit garage after the win. Started daw sa KERs unit ni Senna.











Schumi recieves 5 grid penalty for forgetting to brake behind Senna. Iba na talaga mga 40s...

Nice win from PM, hindi kinaya habulij ni Alonso. Kimi was also a few more laps from taking the fight to them, mga 5 more laps an he could have been the winner.

Yari si Schumi ah.

[simplicity]

hehehe.. did i say it or what? FIVE different winners from FIVE races! sarap!
nagpuyat pa ako para makanood. kasunod nya lang yung finals naman ni Fed
at Berd kaso di na kaya ng mata ko.
sana si KIMI na sa Monaco! yahooo!

Is F1 heading for a calendar problem?



2012 marks the eleventh consecutive season in which there has been at least one calendar alteration compared to the previous season. This year Formula One welcomes the United States back after a five year hiatus, Bahrain returned after a one year break due to political instability, while the circus has waved goodbye to Istanbul Park and the majestic Turn 8.

Over the weekend, spectator numbers were significantly down at the Circuit de Catalunya. Prior to the arrival of Fernando Alonso, the grandstands were fairly empty as Formula One was not a popular spectator sport in Spain. Even today there are five MotoGP races – heavily attended – on the Iberian Peninsula.

Kubica return ‘nearly impossible’



One of F1′s most experienced journalists has expressed grave concerns about the chances Robert Kubica will ever return to the sport.

The highly-rated Pole has been missing from the paddock since early 2011, having been seriously injured in a pre-season rallying crash.

Until recently, there were sporadic reports about the former BMW and Renault driver’s recovery, and signs his initially horrifically-damaged arm was returning to health.

But the veteran correspondent for Switzerland’s Blick newspaper, Roger Benoit, has now reported that information about Kubica has stopped flowing.

“Why has the talking stopped? Because – unfortunately – a comeback is nearly impossible,” he wrote.

2012 Monaco GP practice 2

[fourtheboys96]

wet weekend expected. ferarri looks good the past two practices. even massa was up there. mclaren always strong in practice and quali.

[niky]

Can't say much from practice yet. Expect all the cars to go much faster in qualifying. Both Alonso and Lewis should be good at this track, as it's one that favors "natural" drivers... Then again, the Renault's gentler power delivery might make a big difference on all the tight and bumpy corners here.

[Retz]

Grosjean is pretty much consistent based on the result in practice 1 & 2.

Ecclestone to push calendar beyond 20 races



The new Concorde Agreement will allow Bernie Ecclestone to expand F1′s race calendar.

The current deal provides for 17 races, with only separate agreements with the teams pushing the existing race schedule to twenty grands prix between March and November.

F1 chief executive Ecclestone said this weekend in Monaco that he is close to finalising the 2013 commercial contract with all the teams.

Writing in the Guardian newspaper, business journalist Christian Sylt reports that the new deal will “allow Ecclestone to set up more races”.

The 2013 Concorde builds in the “flexibility to go beyond 20 races”, Ecclestone confirmed.

“We have got four or five places waiting to do something.”

One host in waiting is Thailand, who have made their intentions clear by successfully bidding to host this year’s end-of-season Race of Champions event in December.

“We aim to bring Formula One to Thailand as well,” said the southeast Asian country’s sports minister Chumphol Silpa-archa.
