A Stellar Season

Fernando Alonso, Ferrari, Brazilian GP, November 25, 2012

Great season, Fernando.  You did what you could with a second-rate (or even third-rate) car.  You got more out of it than anyone else could have.  You made no mistakes while your principal rivals made several.  You consistently finished higher than would be expected from your grid positions, and without any help from your teammate until late in the season.  You kept your cool, and gave Vettel and Hamilton as much as they could handle.  Sometimes second is first, and 2012 was one of those times.  You're my World Champion.  Honorable mention to Jenson Button, for his usual flashes of brilliance.
