Bore-rain? Not this time, the Bahrain GP was surprisingly exciting and action packed, especially after the safety car period.

Buckets of rain! Many safety cars! Cars sliding off everywhere! None of that happened this year, a fairly dry Malaysian GP with just a damp start. Sebastian Vettel won from pole position for the 20th time, behind just Ayrton Senna (29 wins from pole) and Michael Schumacher (39 wins from pole). Webber won’t be pleased however, he could have won his 10th race at his 200th Grand Prix had Vettel followed orders.

Wow, what a race that was, had a little bit of everything, we even had Kimi Räikkönen getting lost off track. Nico Hülkenberg led a race for the first ever time, looking good for a win, a podium at least until he made a mistake at turn 1 forcing Lewis Hamilton to retire and getting a drive through for himself.

A pretty good first race at the Circuit of the Americas, with some clever tactics from Ferrari before the race start to get both Alonso and Massa on the clean side of the grid. Red Bull suffered from their third alternator failure of the season, it previous failed at Valencia and Monza.

A surprisingly action packed Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a race that previously has only been won from the front row. Pole position doesn't seem to be a good place to be in Abu Dhabi either, in 2009 Hamilton started on pole and retired on lap 19, in 2011 Vettel on pole, retired on lap 1 after a puncture and now again in 2012 with Hamilton on pole, retired on lap 19, again.

Another not so exciting Indian Grand Prix, yet again with Sebastian Vettel starting on pole and then leading every single lap. After winning the race Vettel now has over 1000 points, a total of 1013, behind only Fernando Alonso (1313 points) and Michael Schumacher (1560 points).
