Tag Archives: 2012 F1 Season

First of all, sorry for the site downtime, was something out of my control but it doesn't matter now as WE'RE BACK! And with a new post! I had this thought a while ago and completely forgot about it until just now, what would the 2012 F1 season have been like if every single driver had finished every race exactly where they started? The answer, boring! But I went and found out anyway, with some quite interesting results.

At last, the end of the teammate head to heads, which is of course Red Bull, triple champion Vettel and Aussie Mark Webber. Much like at Ferrari the two drivers haven't been particularly close, Webber was over 100 points down on Vettel in 2012.

Almost at the end of the teammate head to heads, only Red Bull to go after this one. They are the oldest team on the grid and the only team to have competed in each F1 season, but the teammate head to heads at Ferrari haven't exactly been particularly close recently, but hopefully still worth a read.

The McLaren teammate head to heads, probably the one most of you have been looking forward to most, definitely the one I've been looking forward to writing. Who has had the better season? Or been better over all three seasons as teammates? Hamilton is easily the better qualifier but what about in the races?

Happy New Year! Decided I've have a go at something a bit different, so I made an F1 stat infographic. Always loved them but doing one yourself is a lot harder, hope you all enjoy it.

Lotus! The black and gold team once known as Toleman, who competed in the 80s with a black and gold team named Lotus. But on a more serious note, Lotus were the only team that used three drivers all season and only did so because of Grosjean's ban following the Belgian Grand Prix. They finished 4th in the Constructors' with over twice the points of Mercedes in 5th but still some way from McLaren.

Mercedes, the first team that have had the same two drivers for three years running, perfect for some statistical comparisons! I will start off with the 2012 comparisons, then some short previous year stats and finally a full 3 year comparison.

Time for number three in the teammate head to heads, Force India and Sauber. The first about HRT, Marussia and Caterham is here and the second about Toro Rosso and Williams here. Yet again I have more stats to give as at Sauber both drivers have been on the podium.

Number two in the teammate head to heads, with the Toro Rosso and Williams drivers. Some more stats to give this time as they have all scored points and made it into Q2 or Q3.

I think it's about time for the teammate head to heads, starting with the three teams at the back of the grid and moving my way up. So who was the better driver at HRT, Marussia and Caterham last year?
