2012 Grand Premio Petrobras do Brasil

What an anti-climax at the end.

Indeed. A very underwhelming end to an absolutely edge-of-your-seat race.

Alonso, man he just calm. Not the first time he felt. Good job well done for him either way. 👍

 

[RACECAR]

Whats Massa upset about? Not quite understanding it.

 

[Northstar]

Better than making your teammate overtake and hold people just so you can ... kinda maintain that position.

Why do you keep blaming Alonso for Ferrari decisions?

 

[RTSolvalou]

Those incidents need investigating.

 

[PAWEL17]

Gotta love Massa. Great to see him comeback at the end of the championship, hopefully next year he challenges Alonso.

 

[Demon Drone]

Vettel is going to go down as the luckiest driver ever. Gift from Schumi, stewards playing favorites, and Grojean being stupid at Spa. I will never respect Vettel as an all time great.

Just overwhelmed by the home support after the good race he had. Guess he's just really happy to get on the podium in Brazil.

Been awhile since he's on podium.

True...I do think Alonso did an outstanding job. He did an amazing job this year with a car that, despite not being as slow as some people prefer to think, wasn't up to the job.

 

[Mac K]

Hopefully Massa keeps this momentum up into next season.

Alonso's expression at the end of the race reminded me of cupcake dog flashback.

Pretty much. Just put a helmet on it and it's exactly the same.

This. Still a pretty epic race & year. Congrats to Button for the win, Massa for the podium, Alonso for the battle, and Vettel for the Championship. 👍

And yet again Alonso was just too lucky, LH would have even won it, instead he got out of the race, same for Hulkenberg, better won it by merit than just ... luck.

What a load of nonsense, Vettel not only has Webber to yield if he needs but he has 2 Toro Rosso drivers who would lose their drives if they hold him up (e.g. Algersauri), also Michael didn't seem to fight him of too hard...

Why do you keep blaming Alonso for Ferrari decisions?

Because they keep making an inferior driver go into position he shouldn't been.

He wasn't driving to even his team-mate pace, yet they had to keep him up there because they at least want him to have him as WDC. Is a real shame for Massa, but at least Alonso should show the same(if not better as he is supposed to) race pace, not inferior one to then let your teammate drag positions back.

Which honestly explains Massa's sadness, all those positions given and all those points and podium lost, just for the sake of keeping someone who is barely running at race pace. And I'm sorry, but Alonso should maintain the pace he is being asked to output, and the only one who can do that is himself, so Ferrari has nothing to do with it, he had the car and even the team, and still lacked, so ... yeah.

he would of gotten past schumacher anyway. If alonso had finished the race in spa and wasn't for Grojean then it would of been a different story, (not a Vettel fan btw)

Either way, it's the same for both of them. About the FIA, Ferrari had done it from the past, so the RBR seems to takes it place. It didn't get my liking for sure but well, nothing can be done now.

 

[C-ZETA]

Been awhile since he's on podium.

A full 4 races, sure has been a long time...relatively short for him in comparison to others, that's for sure.

AGREED! This is the thruth!

The least the FIA could do is post some information as to why Sebastian was not penalized. Considering how twitter is looking right now, many seem to be upset about the incident.

And how many people were okay with that sort of thing happening back then? If memory serves correctly, only Ferrari fans.

 

[NotThePrez]

On another note, lets hope they get rid of the podium interviews next year.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Watching the replay, I can say that Perez had the same luck as in Spa, almost escaped, but the rear wing was taken out

It's looking more and more likely that it's going to be dry. I hope everyone that said earlier this week; "OMG IT'S GOING TO RAIN ON SUNDAY" have learned their lesson.

So, we learned our lesson? Tell me more about you knowing better than specialists from every website and weather service available...

 

[Wiegert]

Which honestly explains Massa's sadness

Pretty sure Alonso's finishing position wasn't the reason behind Massa's emotional state. Even after Alonso finished a single place ahead, he's still pleased as hell with his result.

 

[Lizard]

Gutted that Kamui finished so far down. He was doing great at one point and took Alonso.

 

[CinnamonOD]

errmagerd, fengerd!

It's his home GP. Why not.
