This week, Kevin is accompanied by Autosport.com Editor Haydn Cobb to delve into his most cherished F1 Season – 2012.
The 2012 season is widely remembered as a standout in modern F1 history, distinguished by the fact that six of the championship’s twelve competing teams each secured at least one race victory, with a total of seven distinct drivers reaching the top step of the podium.
The season was characterized by a captivating championship duel involving Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, both vying for their respective third world championship titles, with Vettel ultimately claiming the championship by a narrow margin of just three points.
Haydn and Kevin explore the intricacies of this contest, analyzing McLaren’s role as an occasionally unreliable contender, the pivotal decision by Lewis Hamilton to transition to Mercedes, and contrasting these viewpoints with Autosport’s own published rankings of the top 10 drivers at the season’s conclusion.
