This week, Kevin is joined by Autosport.com Editor Haydn Cobb to discuss his favourite F1 Season - 2012.

2012 has been generally regarded as one of the greatest of the modern-day F1 seasons, with six out of the championship's 12 teams winning at least one race, of which, seven different drivers claimed victory.

It was a season that featured a dramatic title fight between Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, with both drivers attempting to win their third world championship, with Vettel taking the title by just three points.

Haydn and Kevin talk about that battle, McLaren's role was the unreliable antagonist, the Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes switch, and compare Autosport's own end-of season top 10 driver rankings.
