8 different winners during a sensational season

So with two race's to in the 2012 F1 season it is still all to play for between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso for this year's Driver's title. On Sunday more history was made in Formula One as Kimi Raikkonen became the 8th different race winner of the season. The result means that 6 team's have picked up wins this year.

Going into this season if you had told me that with two race's to go we would have had eight different winners I would have said that it was not going to happen and yet here we are that is exactly the situation we have. This season all team's in the top five in the championship have won races. RedBull, Ferrari, McLaren, Lotus and Mercedes have all won races as have the Williams team when Pastor Maldonado brought the team their first win since the 2008 Brazilian GrandPrix.

For the Lotus name, before yesterday, their last win came with Ayrton Senna in America 25 years ago. It has been a sensational season so far and their are still two race's remaining. Could we our 9th different winner this season next time out in Texas? It is a very real possibility as it will be Formula One's first adventure to the circuit in Austin, Texas so all the team's are going in 'blind' they just have simulations of the track and it won't be until Friday practice when they get the opportunity to drive the track to see how it feels.

Back to Kimi Raikkonen, not only has he finished every single race this season, the Iceman has also been on the podium seven time's and as I mentioned in my previous post, he capped his sensational comeback season with an incredible win in Abu Dhabi his first victory since the 2009 Belgian GrandPrix in SPA.

With Kimi's result in Abu Dhabi, the Iceman has consolidated third place in the championship and with neither Lewis Hamilton or Mark Webber scoring points on Sunday Kimi is now 31 points ahead of Mark Webber in third place in the championship. The Lotus team are also in a great position as they are  in 4th in the Constructor's championship on 288 points, 152 points clear of Mercedes AMG in 5th place while the Enstone based team are 30 points behind McLaren in third place with a maximum points haul of 86 points available from the last two race's.

So if yesterday's race was anything to go by, the final two race's of the season are going to be sensational particularly as it looks like the title will go down to the wire in Brazil on November 24th
