That blonde (used to be a brunette) girl is Rosberg's PR girl lol Sabine is quite a bit older. Took these pics at Spa 2010:

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but you've chosen a bad pic to prove your point. You might as well have taken a pic of her feet.

Karan is right. The first pic under the Mercedes logo. That is Sabine Kehm.

Nice post :) Didn't realize it was the same three on the podium as well! Interesting few coincidences there.

Goddamn the reddit watchalong thread was hard work.

There was me, supporting Ferrari and saying what a good job Fernando did in a poor car to give us even a championship fight that year: *multiple downvotes*

People saying Alonso's heroism is overrated and Vettel was the one that really did the huge comeback when they had pretty much equal machinery *massive upvotes*

The vettel cult there is getting out of hand. I thought it was a Ferrari cult at first, but apparently the red bull was poor, Mark webber was trying to hold him up and was his antagonist all season and Vettel alone won that title *sigh*

He also hasn't made any mistakes either, there are *reasons* for everything he did wrong *sigh*

Still, a brilliant end to the greatest F1 season.

Early on, it gave me pains to hear Brundle say "Interlagos always makes for a great championship deciding season finale and long may that continue"
Nope, Bernie took the money to make sure it never happened again

seeing today with no suffering from having to support a team (of course anti-Vettel here because fuck dominations) I can see it was an ideal scenario for a race. Dry start and changeable conditions without proper mayhem, demanding even more from teams and drivers. The biggest loser that day miscalculated his braking and crashed into Hamilton

plus final McLaren victory, nearly 8 years already (!)

2008 has got 2012 covered, I personally feel 2009 does too.


As a close championship or as individual brilliant races?

2008 championship was epic, but that was more on individual race results combined with a good few wet races
There was plenty of dull races scattered around that were good for closing up the championship but dull spectacles to watch

2012 is batshit insane from race 1. 7 different winners from the first 7 races and overtaking the like of which we've rarely seen in the sport

I have been watching since probably mid 1992 I think, and its definitely my favourite season I've seen

2007 and 2008 were great championship battles, but the races were quite boring in general. Basically, whoever managed to execute the overcut right, won the races. And it was pretty much a McLaren x Ferrari battle.

2012 not only had several winners, but it was quite unpredictable with performances varying so much. Vettel didn't look like a title contender for two-thirds of the championship, and middle-pack teams were always snatching some points from the bigger ones - one race it was Sauber, the other one Williams, the other one Mercedes and so on.

Closing this season with a showdown that would give us a new three-times world champion, and the way it happened, lived it up perfectly to what this season was. I still remember lots of non-F1 fans coming to chat with me during this race because it was awesome.

The only con I have with 2012 is the excessive focus drivers needed to have with tyre saving. But that was a cheap price to pay for such a remarkable season.

if it wasn't for the tires, Mercedes domination could had started way earlier

maybe those quick decaying tires are the gimmick F1 needs to provide more entertaining. and once the teams figure it out then they scramble the shit out of it so no one can know what tire they're racing

Finally we got to see what really happened to Maldonado in the onboard highlights.
He completley dissapeared form the TV screen back then, all we knew he crashed somewhere but we never got to see how until today...
He completley lost it in turn 3

Enginer: Multi 12
Webber: Which switch is that?
Engineer: Let Seb through

I remember Mark driving like a completely twerp that day, he got spun to the back of the field by Kobayashi, did a half spin on his own and went near to the back, but he only just missed a podium in the end


Kinda sums up his career tbh. :cry:

So Multi 12 meant Vettel (Number 1 driver) should be in front of Webber (Number 2), and Multi 21 obviously meant Webber (2) was to stay in front of Vettel (1).

Malaysia 2013 was well deserved payback for his deliberate shenanigans at Brazil 2012.
