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.

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.

Well the season is finally over, guess it's time for some full stats of the 2012 season. You may remember me doing something similar a few weeks ago (here) but now it's over I can give even more stats and info.

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.

It’s amazing to think that 12 months ago, Sebastian Vettel was dominating the F1 season. This time around, the World Drivers’ Championship is going down to the final race, taking place in Brazil.

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.

So who deserves the title? Alonso? Vettel? Karthikeyan? Or just whoever finishes with the most points. There are two races left, fifty points up for grabs and just two drivers able to win. Four drivers have been leading the Drivers' Championship at some point in the season, Alonso has led for 10 races, Vettel for 5, Hamilton for 2 and Jenson Button just 1.
