So. Six World Champions on the grid for 2012...

[PlatinumZealot]

It's going to be the most WC's on the grid ever!

With the new regs I hope we have at least seven equally fast teams! Remember 2009 when ALL the cars were within 1.8 seconds? I hope it's even closer this time! Should give us a nice stage for the ultimate WDC battle!

To be fair smikle - the 1st to 18th isn't far off (I think). It's the 19th-24th cars that are skewing the image a bit. But yes; should be a great battle. Seven equally fast teams is a bit pushing it though. I'd have agreed if you had said 3, or even 4. But 7 seems unlikely

On a related note, Kimi has hit the track : http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2012/01/ ... otus-pics/

White helmet = Iceman cometh?

Love the helmet. I always did. But I can't for the life of me understand why he went for white - it kind of clashes with the car livery

At least it'll make him easy to spot.

his taste for helmet design is just awful

They're all very noisy, which is rather ironic given his persona.

Hmm I always thought Raikkonen loved to party and just was different in the f1 paddock.

I like the helmet- it's like a snowman is driving!

Yay Kimi is coming back! =D>

It's most WDCs on the grid? But maybe at some point in the past there were more if you include yet-to-be WDCs on the grid? I guess I could do a little research...

Will he melt in the heat of battle?

I know this isn't exactly relevant, but I have a framed photo on my wall that I took during the Spa 05 podium ceremony which features Kimi, Fernando and Jenson from before they won any of their championships! It is my favourite photograph from the many that I have taken over the years

[Gerhard Berger]

Especially looking forward to seeing him at Spa.
