Testing started In February and it lasted till March with 3 testing sessions (1 at Jerez and 2 at Barcellona) with all teams revealing their 2012 cars except for Mercedes, Marussia & Hispania. Right from the first test it was the Lotus Team with their E20 who showed pace, then came Red Bull who unveiled two different RB8s two new cars with different exhaust positions. As seen in the pictures only Mclaren and Marussia didn't opt for the Stepped nose regulation which came effect for the 2012 Season. Ferrari opted to analyses their F2012 since it was a new generation car for the Italian Stable and thus they opted to study the F2012 carefully. Mercedes were also setting quite faster times in all sessions and so the other teams as well being just a second away from the leading teams.

The main talking point of the season will be, how the teams are going to improve their car's performance in terms of aerodynamic grip with the Blown diffuser now being banned, the cornering grip and early acceleration is now absent, how will they come up with new ideas in order to improve performance.

With everything ready to go, the 2012 Championship seems to be a close one, with approximately 4 to 5 Teams challenging for the title. Will Sebastian Vettel go for the 3rd Consecutive title or Will the Spaniard beat the german to it.?? Who will Win the Number 1 Title at Mclarent from the two Brits?? Will Schumacher and Raikkonen rise up to the glory after their comebacks??? Will Nico Rosberg achieve his first F1 victory?? Will Felipe Massa and Mark Webber come back to their Winning ways??? Stay Tuned because the FIA 2012 F1 Championship will commence in just 7 Days time in Melbourne Australia at the Circuit of Albert Park!!!
