you might have to wait much longer than the face of alonso is right now. :p

Adrian Newey has erred before. Remember the McLaren MP4-18? A car designed by Newey for the 2003 season which never made it to a race.

Vettel can be hampered by a sub-optimal car sooner than you think.

how pathetic is alonso? discuss...

getting gifted everything, another race everything is going for him since lap 1...

but still... you cant beat DA MAN....

VETTEL 3 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION!!!! AWESOME RACE AND AWESOME FIGHT!

Well at least you predicted one winner correctly this year.

Great race! Alonso raced incredibly well and I would have liked to see him win after he crashed out undeservedly in a couple of earlier races but Vettel deserved the championship.

Not as pathetic as the constant anti Alonso crap you're posting in this thread. You're a one track pony (and this is coming from someone who cannot stand Ferrari)

Great race. Brilliant way to end what has been overall a decent season.

Vettel was very lucky to finish. Also i don't think it was Senna's fault. Vettel turned in late and just didn't see Senna there.

Alonso once again drove well but like i mentioned earlier, i didn't want him to win not after the stunt they pulled in Texas.

Also feel sorry for Hamilton, he drove well and i reckon they deserved the 1-2 finish as well but Hulkenburg dropped it, which again i would consider a racing incident.

Did anyone find the podium funny? usually they spend a lot of time there listening to what they have to say. Instead we got coverage of some FIA guy batter some photographers.

I don't think anyone on Skysports mentioned Button won it :laugh:

Agreed - 2012 was one of the best seasons I've seen. (For the record: I've been following F1 since 1982.)

Alonso would have deserved the title. Despite what mclaren2 keeps saying the Ferrari was the worst of the top cars this year. 2nd in the WDC is more than anyone at Ferrari would have expected after the disastrous winter tests.

Lastly, farewell to Michael Schumacher. The three seasons at Mercedes GP were unfortunately not what he or the team expected. We shall see what he does in the future.

Best race I've ever seen in the past 7 years I've been following Formula 1.

I was rooting for Alonso, but at the end of the day the better car and driver combination won. I'm very surprised that Vettel's car managed not only to make it to the end, but also not suffer from any sort of lack of pace. Credit to him for fighting from the back two races in a row into good positions, giving him the title. A deserving world champion regardless.

Ferrari did very well to finish second in the constructors championship, they had the third best car this year, sometimes the fourth.

I'm looking forward to the last season of the V8s next year before the introduction of the V6 turbos.

Well, nobody says that Vettel won cheating.

When Vettel overtakes Kobayashy, was with yellow flag

Also he had 4 "friends" ,Webber(Normal), Vergne, Ricciardo and Michael

And having the fastest car he needed all of this :/

So sad

Regarding the yellow flag incident, I don't think anything will come of it. It was yellow and red all the way round, which doesn't prevent overtaking. There were yellows also during the middle-last sector...so no overtaking. Then they went green just before the pit straight, so Vettel lined up a pass on Kobayashi and committed to it. Then they went yellow again during the progression of the pass. Plus Kobayashi also pitted, so the place couldn't have been given back, and also Vettel would have gotten the place anyway.

You can clearly see on 2th pic that already was yellow and it remained ALL that lap

And Javik, the were 2 flags, one yellow and red that do exactly what you say and the yellow one ;)

During the post-race analysis by Sky Sports F1 when they used the slow-motion, there was a green flag between the two yellows.

LOL, so in case of green, yellow and yellow-red flag you can do what you want?

Well it doesn't matter now, but i wanted to post it to see opinions

im yet to find a single situation in which webber helped vettel more than alonso. at the start he went so much inside that alonso had it easy on the outside and vettel had to brake very hard indirectly causing the crash with senna a bit later on.

after the restart in lap 30 webber again did the best to support alonsos title challenge (like he did since abu dhabi 2010 - im so glad redbull put their support behind vettel in that race) going totally outside in the first corner to let alonso through on the inside.....

the yellow flag discussion is a new low light i think. they threw everything against vettel in that race, he still delivered. and now, despite even pat fry from ferrari said that these were no yellow flags, its still going on.

race result has been confirmed officially, so ferrari cant protest anymore anyway....

vettel has had a very difficult year and i have never seen a driver doing what he did in abu dhabi or today in interlagos under such immense pressure.people still claim he cant overtake but it was alonso who needed massa continously slowing down to keep in contention. having said that he still didnt thank massa for his support in the race.

And what about the others friends?

And what about the others friends?

yeah ricciardo is a real supporter of vettel, as seen in abu dhabi where his stupid brake-test nearly ended vettels race.

i am not surprised that schumacher did what he did - i was fully expecting this from the race start on, he lost his adviser position at ferrari the day alonso arrived there and prefers vettel over alonso, maybe because he knows which driver has more potential for the future.

and schumacher was saying that he didnt want holding up someone in the wdc challenge. probably would have done the same had it be alonso behind him.

today alonso had everything served on a golden plate - again. rain, safetycars, mclaren shooting themselves again, massa slowing down by 3 or 4 seconds every 10 laps to let alonso pass, vettel crashed out had to race with heavily compromised car and setup and loss of engine power, wrong tire strategy, car to pit radio not working, .......

Could you please just stop blathering on about Alonso for 10 seconds and actually contribute something to this thread? It's becoming tiresome.

As for the lights:

They weren't flashing, therefore they were there to serve the same function as the red and yellow flag. No cheating.

LOL, so in case of green, yellow and yellow-red flag you can do what you want?

Both us us were wrong;

http://www.crash.net/f1/news/186443/1/stewards_confirm_vettel_overtake_move_was_legal.html

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.

I have a feeling the result probably won't be overturned but even more drama?

Good old Ferrari :rofl: I have to say, I struggled to see anything resembling a bloke with a green flag until I went on Youtube looking at the super slow-mo videos... and they're not convincing one way or the other.

I'd expect Vettel to keep the title, simply because turning it over more than 3 days after the race finished would cause a lot of bad feeling and press.

It's a hard one to call.

On the one hand it would cause a lot of ill feeling, but on the other they simply have to uphold the rules, even if the evidence that one was broken does come retrospectively. I'm with you I don't see the evidence being clear enough to prove that the rule was broken, so I will wait with baited breath to see how this one turns out.

Can someone update me on this?

I thought it was already confirmed by the marshals that Vettel didn't break any rules and overtake under an oil flag (steady yellow light). Brundle said that on Sky.

So how could Ferrari dispute anything if it was already confirmed Vettel did nothing wrong? :wacko:

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
