Formula 1 2012 - End of Season Awards

You jest but this is a true story: when I first met him – and much to his amusement – I thought his name WAS Lenny Kravitz!.

 

lol, and everytime I hear Ted Kravitz name I hear a guitar riff from 'are you going my way' in my head.

 

Drivers
Best Driver: Fernando Alonso - Incredible season, just awe-inspiring to keep that Ferrari in the hunt for so long.
Worst Driver: Romain Grosjean - Belgium, Australia, Japan plus many more...
Most Improved: Lewis Hamilton - Back in the right place probably as good as his 07' fan
Surprise Package: Nico Hulkenburg/Sergio Perez - One could have won the last race of the year and crushes his over rated teammate, the other comes even closer to taking a GP win, pockets a couple of podiums AND gets a McLaren drive
Biggest Disappointment: Jenson Button - Awful, awful and awful. Lewis Hamilton was dreadful in 2011 but he kept crashing that's why he didn't score as many points. JB was just not quick enough I'm afraid.
Best Rookie: Charles Pic - Caterham drive and solid performance against a experienced F1 driver.

Teams:
Best Car: MP4-27
Worst Car: F2012 - If it had been half as good as the RB8, Alonso would have won the title.
Best Team: Red Bull
Worst Team: HRT
Surprise Package: Lotus/Sauber
Under-performers: Force India

Button won 3 races yet you say he was awful. ****ing hamelots.

 

Didn't Hamilton win 3 last year and people were saying the same thing then?

 

don't know, don't care.

In my defence, i've been calling him crap for the past 4 years, not just last season.

 

Well I'm glad you warmed to him this season

 

He was good this season. I'm rubbing the slate clean for next season, i'm going to view him with an open mind, and see how many races it takes for me to dislike him again. I'm going end of Malaysian practice 2.

 

Bwahahaha.

I actually quite like being a Hamelot... The crap that gets chucked our way has gone beyond irritating and is now a source of a great chuckle.

 

What's it like being blind and naive?

 

Dunno... Have you tried visiting Thailand blindfolded?

 

.

 

I wouldn't term you a hamelot, there's a big difference between being a fan and an over-zealous nutjob

 

Er, didn't you vote Lewis best driver?

 

As explained above, i said he was good this season.

 

Good enough to make it onto your Christmas card list? Or is that another 5 seasons of hard graft?

 

Thanks Miggs... Though since it still gets banded about on occasion, I like to wear my badge with pride.

 

Hamilton doesn't have fans, they're all over zealous nutjobs
