[Nin-Chin]

Here comes the video for everyone's joy!



Full race, on-boards!

Note how Alonso overtakes Hulkenberg during the warm-up lap... Just kidding.

Btw, pay attention to Vettel's overtaking! He was so careful with those yellow flags, truly an amazing race of him, maybe the best I have ever seen!!!

I've seen this,it's boring cause most of it's onboard with Vettel,the best race onboard is Belgium in my view,I have all the race onboards apart from Germany and Australia
I have Quali onboard of,China,Bahrain,Spain,Monaco,Canada,Valancia,GB,Germany,Belgium,Monza,Singapore and the remaining races of the season apart from india

Since we seem to be discussing this controversy again, can anyone answer my question from the other thread? Has any team attempted to win a championship with post-race appeals since McLaren tried it in 2007?

Boring???!!! Hahaha, are you crazy?! This is the best thing I ever saw on board! Of course it's mostly Vettel on board camera. Don't tell me you expected more Hamilton?

[Nin-Chin]

Spa was my favorite cause it had real racing and overtaking in it (including Vettel)

Alonso tribute:

[andrew]

There was real racing in Brazil (well as much real racing as there is these days with KERS and DRS).

[vlad]

Vettel had the most overtakes there, but that's the middle of the season. The pressure is nowhere near as the one in Brazil.

[Nin-Chin]

Brazil was onboard with mainly one driver after 20mins he made very few overtakes,but Spa had a variety drivers onboard and overtaking,it had,Massa,Vettel,Webber,Hulkenburg,Di Resta,Ricciardo,Vergne,Button,Schumacher,Rosberg,Raikkonen,Senna,Pic,Kobayashi onboard

USA was also good its on youtube if u can find it,so was Abu Dhabi but in the middle of race was boring,the vettel onboards were only good cause of the sound.

The difference being that McLaren actually lodged an official protest in '07, in '12 Ferrari didn't.

The only season I can think of, where an appeal after an event led to a Championship going to another driver, was in '76.

No, they just sought "clarification".

So I'm clarifying your response... you're wrong andrew.

I'll clarify yours. You are mistaken. They were seeking clarification on the legality of Vettels pass on Vergne.

Formula 1 - Vettel's 'illegal pass' controversy explained

An explanation of the footage that appears to show Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel making an illegal overtaking move in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

Ferrari have written to Formula 1's governing body asking for a clarification of Sebastian Vettel's pass on Jean-Eric Vergne, with the FIA indicating they believe Vettel has not committed an offence.

Any penalty for Vettel could potentially overturn the result of the race and the world championship in favour of Fernando Alonso.

So if Ferreri were not seeking clarification what were they doing then?

Can't agree that this was his best race ever because he made a massive misjudgement in the first lap that could have cost him the championship. He was incredibly lucky to escape with that car in working order. After that I will agree he kept cool and drove well, but it was a big error. Surely you best race can't contain an error such as that?
