Formula 1 - Race 20: Brazil

Now from the race all I can say is it was an amazing end to the championship. Sebastian Vettel won the championship from Alonso by 3 points. Nico Hulkenburg was leading a lot of the race and had he not spun on lap 48 and not lost the rear end on lap 55 he looked like he was on form to win the race and would of been the first win for Force India.

Sebastian Vettel had his first slow start to a race in his whole career and ended up turning into Bruno Senna, causing the Williams Driver to retire from the race. Vettel's car was lucky to be able to ride him home in 6th place. While the weather was wet and the track was damp their wasn't a noticeable difference in performance but when it was dry in the middle of race he was 1 - 2 seconds a lap slower than the leaders, had the race been dry from that point to the end he may not of won the championship.

The 2012 season has been an interesting season for Formula 1 with a lot of different race winners at the beginning of the season and the championship had been close all the way to the end for both drivers and constructors, however redbull picked their game up in the last quarter of the season resulting in both drivers and constructors champion 3 years in a row. This team has improved since they bought out Jaguar, remember who drove for jaguar at the beginning of his career, Mark Webber.

Stay tuned for next years season the 2013 season. It will be exciting to see what Hamilton can do with the Mercedes AMG team next year.

Formula 1 - Race 19: United States

Austin, Texas hosted one of the best races I have seen in a while. The overtaking through turn 1 and throughout the circuit was amazing. The conservative tyre choice by Pirelli, was the start of the grand prix. The tyres made the drivers have less grip and thus the drivers who could be more aggressive on the tyres, and yes I said more aggressive did better than those who conserved tyres.

This is because instead of tyres coming straight out fairly fast from a pitstop the tyres that were used took a while before they where at optimum temperature. around 5 - 7 laps it took for the drivers to get the tyres to start being at a consistantly quick pace.

One spectacular thing that I hadn't seen for a while was both Hamilton and Vettel finished 30+ seconds from Alonso. This year the top 5 usually where within 20 seconds of the leader. This race proved to be a spectacular return to America for Formula 1. The crowd turnout was quite high and the stadiums looked quite full on raceday.

 Points After Round 19:
Sebastian Vettel is on 273
Fernando Alonso is on 260

For Sebastian Vettel in Brazil he only needs to finish 3rd if Alonso wins.

I would like to hear your thoughts about Race 19

Complete Racing - About the blog

Complete Racing is a blog that will be about car racing around the world. I will after each race tell my thoughts about the race. Things that would be interesting that went differently and closer to the end of the title  what things earlier in the season could of affected the overall outcome.

This blog will have images, possibly some small videos showing amazing passes and highlights throughout the season.

At the bottom of the blog post you will be able to see the top 2 drivers points and constructors points if the championship has that.

The first official post for Complete Racing will be next year starting when NASCAR starts in February. We will also have my thoughts on Formula 1, and MotoGP if and when I watch it.

I will have my thoughts on next Sunday's Formula 1 race in Brazil. It is the championship decider but Sebastian Vettel is leading the points by quite a considerable amount.

When I watch a motorsport event I will post my thoughts about it. But the main 2 championships will be NASCAR and Formula 1
