1. Nothing wrong with the overtake for me.
  2. Ferrari want to establish whether there is enough evidence to lodge a protest that, if successful, could overturn the result of the world championship. Ferrari are "evaluating footage" that appears to show Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel making an illegal overtaking move in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso lost the title by three points to Vettel after finishing second for Ferrari and the German seventh.

    Governing body the FIA refused to confirm whether it was investigating. Red Bull could not be reached. The footage, from Vettel's on-board camera, appears to show the German passing Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne in a yellow 'caution' zone. If that is the case, and any protest was upheld, it could mean Vettel would have 20 seconds added to his total race time. That would demote him to eighth place and make Alonso world champion by one point.

  3. @SkySportsF1: FIA brings German GP forward a week to July 7 and reserves July 21 date for another as-yet un-named European race. #skyf1

    France?
  4. Has to be France, unless they are thinking of placing Valencia there. Let's hope for Magny Cours - always was a great track! I would even be happy with Paul Ricard.
  5. Nah, France was sadly a dead-end, Ecclestone is in Istanbul so it seems the Turkish Grand Prix is going to make it next year.
  6. I read that a few minutes ago. A return of possibly one of the most boring tracks in Formula One.
  7. @therealdcf1: Arrived in Istanbul ahead of being part of the presentation team for the FIA awards, proud to be asked and nervous all at the same time!
  8. I don't mind Turkey, its one of the better Tilke tracks. I would have rather seen China, Valencia or Korea dropped in the first place, but I guess the lack of crowds and investment was the deciding factor.
  9. Originally posted by LikeASong:Alonso: "It's the first time that I've got everyone (pilots, ex-pilots, French, English, German, etc) aggreeing with the fact that I've been the best driver of the championship. This is a great feeling."

    A bit self-indulgent, but honest and true after all.

    Confirmed

    Formula 1 team bosses vote Fernando Alonso as best driver of 2012.
