F1: Only two driver's seats available for it 2012!

Unexpectedly early compared to other years, the line up of the new year in F1 has almost been completed.
From the pending cases that existed before 20 days at the end of the season have been covered enough.

Toro Rosso kicked out both drivers who raced in its colors this year. The Algersuari, Boehmi was replaced by the Red Bull tester, Daniel Ricciardo and the Frenchman Jean Epic Vernier.
So where last year there was no French driver in F1 now we will have three. The other two are Romain Grosjean who will race alongside Kimi Raikkonen at Lotus Renault and Charles Pic who will race for Marussia.

It came as no surprise when Force India announced that they had replaced Adrian Sutil with their tester Nico Hulkenberg..

It remains to be seen who will be in second place for Williams of course the competition is intense as drivers like Barrichello have been left out, Sutil, Petrov, Bohemian, Algherosuari. Of course, there is also a vacant position at HRT, but it is difficult for someone to choose to go there if they have other solutions.

Crazy reception for the Red Bull team!

Sixty thousand Formula fans 1 they celebrated with the triumphants

They know people love them, but they did not expect such a reception! Sebastian Vettel, Mark Webber and the rest of the Red Bull team, they rubbed their eyes when they saw an enthusiastic crowd lined up by the side of the road in the small town of Milton Keynes, which is the "home" of Red Bull, and to cheer them as if they were national heroes!

“It's great to be in Milton Keynes, place where our cars are made. It's nice to see all these friends, from the area. It was very nice, we took a few rides in the car and had a great time.

I want to say thank you to everyone who came, I hope they had fun. It was a great way to end the season.", were the words of the World Champion, Sebastian Vettel.

Hamilton: Red Bull will be faster…

The Briton, who set the fastest time of the day yesterday in free practice at the final race of the year in Interlagos, Brazil, remains cautious about the rest of the weekend.
Hamilton won the previous race in Abu Dhabi and is in good shape, which was evident from his pace yesterday: "The car was very good. In the second round with the soft rubber I went well and the set-up changes were successful. Plus my pace with a fuel load was competitive. But you also want to know what Red Bull are doing, you always have the feeling that they are faster by a second. You hope they have less fuel of course but I think they will be faster at race pace. Of course, it can be a surprise that our car looks competitive with or without a fuel load. If it doesn't rain I think I will be able to claim the victory. But the Red Bulls will be very fast while the Ferraris also look competitive. Since it will rain eventually I don't know what to expect, I'm just trying to set up my car to suit the mixed conditions we'll face on Sunday" concluded the 26-year-old Briton.
 On the same wavelength and Alonso who had an engine failure yesterday. The Spaniard believes he will start 5th and in the race he will be able to claim a podium. But if it rains, he emphasizes that all possibilities are open.
For his part, Button has not found the right set-up on a track that is not comfortable as it has been seen in the past.
Hamilton shows off the specially designed Brazilian flag helmet he will wear in tomorrow's race.
