While it could be argued that the 2012 Formula One season was one of the best on record, it ended up being a two horse race between the usual suspects – Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel.
Yes I admit it was a turn out for the books after the first seven races were won by seven different drivers, including a first win for Mercedes AMG and Nico Rosberg. However, from the European GP onwards it was plain to see that McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull had built the best cars and even a rejuvanated Lotus with grumpy Kimi at the wheel could not stop the same old train running.
However, that said the end of 2012 saw some significant changes: one driver has retired again – that’s you Schumacher, one driver has decided to move between teams faster than Martin Brundle on a grid walk – that’s you Ferrari Simulator Tester Pedro De La Rosa.
With that change, which people could see as good or bad, the job of making F1 more accessible and ‘better’ is still not complete – these next pages will outline my views on what is wrong with F1.

Not sure I agree with your first point. I think there is still enough talent coming through although I do agree that the pay drivers are becoming a worrying trend.
I agree with your second point though, it is appalling that France no longer has a stable Grand Prix. It will be a dark day if Britain, Italy or Monaco lose their races. It is bad enough when Spa has a year off!
Regarding your first point (plus you get another comment :P). I really think it was time for Rubens to go, he seemed to have lost most of his speed and he spent most of the time whinging about things.
Your last point is fair enough and I agree. None of the back 3 teams have the staying power or character of my beloved Minardi either :(.
I see where you’re coming from with Rubens but I think he would have been a good asset testing wise.
I must admit there is quite a bit of talent coming through but then again there are a lot of paid drivers who seem to get first refusal for a lot of the seats these days
