Definitely some nice mid-pack seats up for grabs (Force India, STR and Williams).
Rule changes per Wiki Quote:
Pirelli has also stated they plan to come back with more aggressive tires again as teams learned and adapted to this year's offerings. Last edited by delongedoug; 11-29-2011 at 12:35 PM. |

I thought we waited until after new years to start the new thread.

Meh, I figured most of the talk would be about the 2012 season so I went ahead and started it. Don't remember the timing of the previous ones.

In it. Unfortunately I don't have anything productive to add at this point. Looking forward to seeing next year's designs and whether or not Austin will happen.

I'll follow Brundle. The guy alone adds so much value. I don't care much for DC. Although he is quite perceptive, his accent bothers me.
I'm predicting rain for every single race in 2012. There I said it. |

ah crap, forgot the blown diffuser was out....thought it was hanging around until the new engine arrives.
I guess that should reset things a little between the top teams. Maybe Mercedes GP will surprise again. |

Maybe. Then again, they have Newey and everyone else doesn't.

Not thrilled about Kimi, just seems so blah - but he was a good driver. Tired of Red Bull - last season wasn't fun to watch at all, knowing Vettel would usually be first and then the best of the rest. Yes Vettel can drive, but he is so annoying over the radio. Hopefully 2012 will at least have some competition or excitement. Just my $.02

Whether its redbull or someone else, a typical season is one or two teams have some creative idea that works, win a bunch of races, and everyone slowly adjusts and plays catch up. The regulations really don't allow for a lot of differentiation among the car designs. Particularly where one car may be better for a certain kind of track.
I really get excited to see what teams came up with. I watch for the technology and engineering, doesn't really matter who wins. I am always curious to hear what they are talking about. Is there someone to hear more of the chatter during the race? |

The USGP people better pony up the cash! That'd be a pretty big bummer to not have it happen, after all the hype. I'd really like to hear the V8's wailing in person before they are replaced.
I hope next season will have closer races between the front runners. Happy to see Kimi back in F1. |

I don't think thats true about a typical season. It definitely wasn't true this year, and the regulations allow a lot more differentiation between cars than it appears, otherwise you wouldn't have people be at such different speeds. |
