2012 Abu Dhabi GP: Race Thread

kimi finally realized there is NO alcohol in that champane...

[scuderia_nano]

How do you know? Any secret upgrades( or downgrades, probably)?

Alonso is always better on new circuits. So, Next race is a good chance. And We have traditionally been strong at Brazil.

[SashAlex]

You are useless on this forum. Please, go somewhere else.

Who are you to say that ? I'm upset. I'll get over it, as usual.

next race is a good chance...only if vettel finshes 10 points behind or worse...otherwise...he'll maintain the lead......

I know I am very hard on JB at times, but he had a very good race. Drove very well keeping Vettel behind.

2 drivers swearing on podium, good example.

[Hornet]

LOL Vettel, "a chance to mess it it up" live on podium

[GamD]

I had too rewind thought I miss heard, was so funny lol

[Voy]

We need Vettel's DNF and Alonso on podium in both races. It is doable to recover those 10 points but with this RedBull performance it will be extremely difficult... Lucky guy in a fastest car.

[Sianellen]

Well done Fernando, beating Seb and keeping the title alive.

Not sure why so many people were saying we were rubbish today when the car finished 4 places ahead of it's grid position.

[varun]

also kimi is really funny on the radio...
ENgg..--"Look after all the tyres mate..."
Kimi---"I know ..i know...u need not remind me again and again.."
it was really funny that one....

[Gerhard Berger]

vettel swearing....poor form

[Hornet]

Sorry for my previous post. I thought just a letter is obscure.

[Hermann]

Wow from 24th to third- superhuman, fingerboy. Or wait....

Vettel is so childish.

It seems they feel more relaxed on podium than sitting in the press conference, nevertheless they shouldn't swear, there are lot of kids watching as well

no, you know the forum rules, as does everyone.

exactly....this is the only way we can win.....we need a DNF frm fingerboy....thrs no way fernando can win , if fingers finshes next to him.....

[scuderia_nano]

Someone plz record and upload a video. We cant see the post race podium interviews.

[fronaldo]

no to push really really hard in Austin..

[zike]

We need to win both races and WDC is ours

[Kyss4k]

Two victories from Alonso would be enough. Vettel can finish where he want than.

[anuragiyer8989]

Wow from 24th to third- superhuman, fingerboy. Or wait....

i will never agree to that! thr were like 7 DNFs and so many accidents.....that was what handed fingers the chance.....felipe was embarrasing....button was sleeping....so it was more luck...not fingers' talent....

[Hornet]

no, you know the forum rules, as does everyone.

Yes I know, hence I did not use those ***** characters to mask any swear words. I did not know just a single letter is considered masking a word too.

[stefa]

OK. This one is over. 10 point down, with two races left. Ferrari needs to do something to help FA qualify further up (1st, 2nd row). From there he can manage SV in race.

[SashAlex]

Who are you to say that about Ferrari?

So what ? I'm emotional ! I'll still support this team to death. I know I shouldn't, I'll try to keep myself quiet, but knowing the potential of this team, its history, I feel the underperformance from the aero department and management. At least, be quiet, bring the updates and even if they don't work as expected, work. But don't promise in vain because seeing Alonso's mighty last stint, knowing if he had a car a bit quicker than this, he'd finish first and not have to fight it through all the corners.

[SoumyaBanerjee]

Another very good thing is that we will probably end up beating our traditional rivals McLaren in the constructors title.....and given the difference between the cars' performances at the start of the season,it will be something worth taking home,no matter who wins the WDC.....

[stefa]

Two victories from Alonso would be enough. Vettel can finish where he want than.

Agree with you, and that would be like cherry on top of a cake. But to do that Ferrari need to improve car like massively. Hope they can do that. Now we have two weeks till next race.

[fadyferrari]

hats off to RBR strategy side.its coz of them vettel is on the podium.....with sort of mistakes he made during the race(damaging the front wing twice),he should have been lower down the order(just my opinion)
