Listen "My Favourite F1 Season - Haydn Cobb's 2012"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Episode 8 of "My Favourite F1 Season" on Autosport Retro, the series where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters from around the sport to talk about their favourite F1 season, and what it meant to them. This week, Kevin is joined by Autosport.com Editor Haydn Cobb to discuss his favourite F1 Season - 2012.
2012 has been generally regarded as one of the greatest of the modern-day F1 seasons, with six out of the sport's twelve teams winning at least one race, of which, seven different drivers claimed victory. It was a season that featured a dramatic title fight between Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, with both men attempting to win their third World Championship, with Vettel taking the title by just three points. Haydn and Kevin talk about that battle, McLaren's role was the unreliable antagonist, the Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes switch being confirmed, and compare Autosport's own end-of season Top 10 driver rankings.
