Robert Kubica to miss start of 2012 season
Robert Kubica has informed Renault that he can't commit to driving for the team from the start of the 2012 as he hasn’t yet recovered sufficiently from the injuries he sustained in his February rally accident. Kubica severely injured his right hand during the crash and has missed the whole of the 2011 season.
Although not ready to return to competition just yet, Kubica continues to make excellent progress. He can now walk freely and move his elbow and hand, and has started an intensive training programme, but needs more time to complete his rehabilitation and return to full fitness.
And with that, I doubt he will ever be back. The severeness of his crash must have been more bad than anyone would have expected, even after half a year

Such a shame Renault could use kubica skill behind the wheel.

Guess the owners of the illegal stream sites will have some great ad revenue in 2012...

3) This is absolutely stupid really... If Ferrari wants more cars they should look at having a feeder team like Torro Rosso... I'm actually really surprised more teams haven't taken this approach. I would be more than happy to see the likes of HRT/Virgin replaced with Ferrari/McLaren funded teams that could actually compete at the current midfield level...
It's much more expensive to have a feeder team than to have a 3rd car. Teams must be constructors, that is they cannot share a chassis. This happened with red bull/torro rosso and is one of the reasons that Torro Rosso is being sold off partially.
That was a good race in Brasil, but anyone feel that Vettel's "gearbox problem" was manufactured to give Webber the win? I'm a fan of his so I'm happy for the win either way...just seems to convenient.
Very good season, both in spite of and because of the Vettel dominance.

2 years with Renault, he's back.
Also, Charles Pic (this year's 4th in GP2) is confirmed for Marussia.

Great to see kimi coming back, six drivers next seasons who have won the world championship should make for a fun season.

Good season (if u exclude vetell being in it)
Very close between 2nd 3rd 4th 5th racers, which is very good. Exciting races 80% of the time aswell (Brazillian was very very full this year)
One thing i hope they bring next year is REVIEW THE GOD DAMN DRS ZONES, some of them (like brazil) were fkn awfuil and pointless man, and the race before, that was even worst and german was even worst argh so many fail ones.
Still looking forward to the next season, come on MClaren!!

Kolles finally leaves HRT.
Also, Vergne and Ricciardo are confirmed for Toro Rosso (!)
While we can take it as granted that Hülkenberg and di Resta will race for Force India next year, this leaves only 2 cockpits open (1xHRT,1xWilliams) for a load of drivers:
Alguersuari, Buemi, Heidfeld, Chandhok, D'Ambrosio, Karthikeyan, Liuzzi, Petrov, Senna and Sutil,
|
Two drivers on that list I really want to get into teams, Sutil and Petrov, though I'd like to see Senna race again next season but I doubt that Williams would take him on, will be interesting to see what drivers won't get seats in F1 next season.
|
It's good to have Kimi back in F1. We need finns in formula 1.
However, I really hope Alguersuari and Senna find a seat for next year. I really was impressed with the performance Alguersuari was putting up in the second half of the season, and for Senna- I just really want to believe that Bruno can live up to the Senna name.
|
Talent seems to be less important these days, because from the midfield the most impressive guys were Sutil, Alguesuari and Heidfeld yet all three find themselves dropped.

Is anyone interested in a motorsport master thread for 2012? The Monte is in 3 weeks and the Dakar is kicking off on Sunday. I've been thinking about a general motor racing thread that includes all the popular championships and events, but I fear that'll be too much work for too few readers ~_~
