2012 - best formula 1 season in recent history. Every race was a lottery, car performance changed - mclaren had the edge one week, then ferrari, then lotus, then red bull, even mercedes had the best car at one point. After I saw such a fantastic finale at Brazil 2012 on the BBC they played this song at the end and it was stuck in my head for weeks. 2010 was good in terms of more championship contenders, but the racing itself was boring aside from 1 or 2 races. 2012 was the perfect season.
For all their money and resources, I doubt Sky Sports F1 will ever produce the same kind of honest and enthusiastic F1 coverage that the BBC was able to.
"Takes you home". Yes. That's it. No matter how old, no matter where I am. Watching a F1 race will always make me feel that kid, eating a fresh bread, seating in front of the tv on a Sunday morning (the European races use to start 9AM at Brazil).
I remember seeing this video for the first time on monday after Brazilian grand prix from 2012. I was in Interlagos, saw that amazing race, Michael's last race ever, and after so many years it still touches me a lot. I miss that era.
What a season. Too bad the last 2-3 years have been so boring. It's not good watching McLaren struggle, Ferrari get thwarted and Red Bull slipping backwards. F1 needs their competition. For my Dad, it was always Senna/Mansell/Prost that lived in his memory. For me, it will be the battles between Vettel, Alonso, Button, Hamilton, Webber etc that will live on for years after they're all gone. 2012 was the pinnacle of that competition and this 'outro' captured a classic season perfectly.
You are so right I agree 100% with you ! My F1 heroes will always Vettel , Alonso , Hamilton , Button , .... and their battles . Even I'm a Ferrari fan I loved the 2012 season so much
This is how I watch F1 when the BBC is live. Quali Intro - BBC Quali - Sky Race Intro - BBC Race Intro (Martin's Gridwalk) - Sky Race - Sky Post-race - BBC I want the old BBCF1 back.
Unfortunately I wasn’t around to follow Michael’s Benetton years(another era that I really like!) and only began to watch F1 in 2009 but 2010-2012 will always be the golden era to me. My childhood heroes Seb and Schumi were driving, every race weekend felt sooooo special and Seb won so much. I still love the sport, but 2010-2012 can’t ever be topped. I was just a kid, but I loved Formula One more than almost anything at the time😃 This is MY Formula One. This is my childhood. These times were beyond special. This song takes me back. So many memories and emotions.
I love the bit at 2:05....Lewis shaking his head in disbelief at the wingwalking......A guy who makes his living flying around corners at more than 150mph wheel to wheel, shaking his head at someone strapped to a plane :)
All differences aside. Vettel and Alonso gave us(the fans) a brilliant season. They fought hard until the end the victory was sweet and the loss was bitter. This is how it is supposed to be, not clearing the titles weeks ahead of the final race. Next year I hope to see a repeat of this level of competition. F1 hasn't been so interesting since before the schumi years. From 2009 ever since BBC returned F1 has been amazing. Hopefully years to come as well.
I also agree Alonso has been the best, even though I never liked him since his attitude at McLaren. He's brought out huge performance from a bad Ferrari car this year and should have won the championship, yet was denied due to being involved in incidents that wasn't his fault.
what a season 2012 was excellent coverage from the bbc again wont be the same without jake though but another great song and video from the bbc f1 team
Eh, he does overdo it but I guess it's dramatic. I like Ben's "lights out and away we go" at the start of each race, sounds like a nice signature quote with his voice.
Such a feeling of nostalgia from this montage. That was the beat season for many years. Unfortunately Hamilton's bad luck put a little downer on it though.
+burnzy3210 2010 was the best season but people like 2012 because of the crashes and parody in the beginning of the season. 2010 was great from the beginning to the end. I recently acquired the entire 2010 season and watching it the second time around it's unbelievable. No kers or drs either it was pure.
Alonso was the least deserving of the bunch by far. His luck and his crazy good Ferrari (Merc-like dominant in the rain) from Spain on were the only things that gave him a chance, and his lack of skill in Japan, Abu Dhabi and Brazil are what made up for it in the end. Vettel and Hamilton were both far more deserving. Hamilton was seriously robbed by the pit crew and the car failures that year.
Justice? Ha, he was taken out 2 times because other people crushed into him... There is a difference between that and Vettel's mechanical failures... Without Spa or Japan, Alonso would have than this and everyone KNOWS that. Fernando drive out his heart that year and come very close with a slow Ferrari...
2010's BBC video "Just Drive" was better, I literally nearly was upset watching that remembering the best/worst parts of that season on the BBC's outro video.
Wanna see my arguments? All the F1 followers and People who know about this sport had all agreed that Alonso has been the best this year. I don't know why you have to dismissed Alonso.. I don't understand.. I will judge vettel as a good Driver once he has to fight with his car to get good results.. My idol is alonso but for example I consider Hamilton as good as Alonso.. So please look at yourself and you will see that you're completely WRONG
I just find Ben Edwards screams too often, lol. Croft does the same but it's more tolerable. I hate Simon to death though. And I would argue the best Sky presenter is Allan McNish. :P
Regardless of place, i won 1st, but will always come last. I am Ethan Greer and you will see my pain through research. A truly judgemental person will judge me correctly, but only God knows. Regardless, it was formula 1 always. My dreams are in Formula. Interwoven within Sennas laziness, i am Senna, but his later half. I have Formula 1, my father, and my brother. i will always be #1

Im crying😭♥️
Forza Sebastian!!!

Best year of F1 ever. I got goosebumps all over my body

3 days left until 2018, I just feeling happy for some reason watching this

2012 was the 2nd best formula 1 year in the 21 century
After 2010?

Well if it's not 2010 you must be wrong

DTS, take notes
and quit the fake drama
Need to make a season montage of the 2021 season with this song on the background.
Absolutely. This season was just something else neither Lewis nor Max gave an inch and so many other drivers had their moments in the sun
Although I watch the races on sky, I always look forward to the end of season montage made by the BBC team! Again, you didn't disappoint!!
the best season in Formula 1 History :) that year was so epic !! ALonso Ferrari
hello schumi , thank you for everywhere for F1. You are good F1 Driver..... :( we will miss u in formula one , very thank you................
Good luck to Jake Humphry, great anchor for Eddie & David to work from, also great track again from Griffin for F1 montage.
They need to bring this song and (just drive) back to f1
Fernando you will always be Number one ☝️
My favourite Formula One season ever ❤️😢.
Best season ever
1:30-1:35 perfect montage Hammy in the wall, Fernando victory lap, grid girls supporting Fernando, Seb acting like a child

I'm not an Alonso fan but you're right. Race for race this season, no other driver deserved to win the title more than he did.
This was Vettel's song, always will be!
Great Song by Alistair Griffin, a fitting end to a great F1 Season!
Dramatic and best season, great moments! I can't wait for the new 2013 :)
best f1 season 2012

to make f1 more exciting, they should do away with pole position and just have a draw each race for grid position.
Times when my man Sebastian was on course to become the greatest f1 driver of all time
I want something similar for 2021
what a season 2012 was excellent coverage from the bbc again wont be the same without jake though but another great song and video from the bbc f1 team

dude did you watch 2010, THAT was the best season i've ever seen, the drivers championship was decided on the final race... absolutely epic
burnzy3210 2012 season was also decided on the last race.

NgVc77 Why dont you. Ladies first.
Does anyone know where can you get this version of song where they extended the intro? I cannot find it anywhere :
Nice year this one, but unfair in my opinion. Alonso should won it.
+NgVc77 Lewis Hamilton should've won it if mclaren could change a tire, build a reliable car, and not have it fail while lewis is in first place.

That’s Vettel.

25/11/2012 was one of those days that proved there is justice in this world.
May that day haunt Alonso forever.
lol, 7 years and i still remember that stare
Justice? Ha, he was taken out 2 times because other people crushed into him... There is a difference between that and Vettel's mechanical failures... Without Spa or Japan, Alonso would have than this and everyone KNOWS that. Fernando drive out his heart that year and come very close with a slow Ferrari...
Why justice? What do you have against Nando man?
formula 1 is just the best sport in the world
Can't argue with that
Agreed. In a mostly awful car her managed some of the best driving I've ever seen.
The Maldonado win
whats yours?
Lewis Hamilton, with a good, reliable car under him is more than a match for anyone.
He drove it beyond its design limits. Very hard on cars.
@@stewartgrindlay9760 That's something he's long since put right though. He's a very different driver today, compared to the Lewis of back then. :)
2010's BBC video "Just Drive" was better, I literally nearly was upset watching that remembering the best/worst parts of that season on the BBC's outro video.
Yeah, cause Vettel didn't whine at all during the season
Sky could never..
Totally agree. 2010 had loads of boring races.
You may be right about Vettel being the youngest champion and Joe Pesci being boss, but Fernando still deserved it.
Wanna see my arguments?

You know it's true
Not gonna be the same without Jake
Alonso the best actually! But Simply the best still Ayrton Senna, im waiting for someone like him! Ayrton Senna for ever! The best racing driver ever!
Because he absolutely outperformed in his dog of a car
suleman021 now he’s getting points in a shitty mclaren Renault
why does it bother you? i can not be asked to even talk to you. jog on son
