RE: Formula 1 - 2012 season

Fuel rules are different for race than Quali. Ironically, the rules were changed after Lewis/McLaren successfully pulled off same trick in 2010....

Pretty sure Senna did just that 2 or 3 years on the trot at the British GP

Not brilliant for Williams now Sad

Heartening how other teams rushed to help, mind you. Less positive the pathetic conspiracy theorists saying the fire was deliberate to dispose of 'special' components. Idiots...

Considering Pastors car was in parc ferme at the time of the fire.......where do these people get their ideas from?.

Well, I'm going to put a little on the Iceman for the title as the dark horse. As comeback go, there couldn't be a bigger contrast between him and Schuey, who clearly hasn't matured much as a driver or a person in the intervening years....

I agree, making silly schoolboy errors just as he did back in '92 (when he had an excuse!).

Kimi has lost none of his wit and charm........but you gotta love him!

Perhaps Williams has now paid its 'karma dues' for the shabby treatment of its drivers and sponsors during the '90s and the good times are back?
