Its MUCH better with a wheel. My brother has F1 2012 on PC and the Logitech G27 (which also works with PS3), and it's so much nicer to play. I still enjoy it though.

I do like how easy the settings are though. Like Collective said, I hate sitting for an hour playing with the settings and in and out of the garage for an hour +.
Can't edit my damn post, but I should have mentioned that I believe there is an adapter to allow the G27 to work with the X360 too.

I think they were the supplier in the 70s too. They certainly make slicks for other racing series though.

Ecclestone is now dismissing the reports though,

Vettel said he would have been OK with Kimi, that may well have been very different had it actually happened.

Ricciardo confirmed at Red Bull. Good move. He is a stellar qualifier (in my opinion, his 2012 Bahrain qualy lap for 6th was the best qualy performance of 2012), is easily outqualifying Vergner weekend after weekend and his race pace has been pretty good too.

It will be interesting to see him vs Vettel. I predict he will be tougher to beat than Webber.

For Toro Rosso in 2014, I expect it to be Antonio Felix da Costa, unless they go crazy and give Carlos Sainz Jr. the seat, but I think it's too soon for that. Vergne will be given another year.

So the rumour is finally confirmed.
Good move, I agree. I also think he'll be tough than Webber.
Wish him well for next year.

I'm thinking Da Costa to Toro Rosso. We'll soon find out.

Agreed, I'm excited to see Ricciardo in the RB car.

Anyone follow Will Buxton on twitter? He had some awesome tweets from the Rush premiere in London yesterday. He arrived way to early.

I like the comment Buxton retweeted from Mario Andretti:
