congratulations to the winners of the forum.
and my personal consideration about this season : very impressive job by Button, the one who really demonstrated his skills in tactics. Good job by Vettel but always i have the doubt simple because his car was indeed the best with no mercy for the others. I have some disappointments about Massa, Alonso and the Ferrari's team, i think that something more could have been done... btw i wait the coming of kubica or Hamilton to really begin to enjoy. I don't like what's goin on in Ferrari in these last years. well let's hope for a better 2012 championship with better rules and nice GP. May be next year i will re-join this nice funny game. GG everyone. |
