7 Reasons Why F1 2012 Was The Best Ever

Let me know what you thought of the F1 2012 season in the comments below!

[Duval-In-The-Wall]

7 winners. 7 races. Kimi returns. Alonso in his prime, Williams won a race, WITH MALDONADO

Nuff said

[theam]

I spent on this game 660 hours over 4 years. Didn't regret a single one

[smctfan]

Here’s an honest reason: The McLaren Mercedes livery was epic.

I hope that, in 2021, manufacturer teams like Ford and Toyata join so that there is more competition at the front....

One more reason : F1 2012 was and still is the only game to properly have a dry line when transitioning from wet to dry.
If you weren’t on that dry line, you’d simply lose it.
None of the later games managed to do that.

reason 8: the video you did back then, doing a 50% around korea as alonso, was the very first f1 gaming video i ever came acros. after getting more into it i actualy pickt up every single cody's f1 game since then because of your video:).

I still remember myself playing F1 2012 non-stop. It was and still is my favourite game. I would play like 5 hours every single day. After F1 2012, i never enjoyed as much any other F1 game. Also the 2012 season still is the best season after 2005. Kimi returning, Alonso in his prime and 3-4 teams fighting for victories depending on the circuit. Formula 1 at its finest

[patriklengyel]

Not thirteen WC no...7 for Michael 2 for Alonso and Vettel and 1 for Jenson, Lewis and Kimi...that's fourteen

[Calum-okfe]

I had this game until f1 2017 came out

[Borcheltski]

This is for the game, but it is still being modded, unlike even F1 2017, i was able to find Rich Energy Haas on 2012, but it was impossible to find anything for 2017

[watermelonbanana]

This was also my first F1 game. I also thought (and still think) that the 2012 F1 cars are the best looking ones yet (yes, I love the stepped nose!) so much nostalgia. Music was also the best on an F1 game

Nice vid Alex, miss your frequent uploads. 2012 was my first full season of watching F1 and I haven’t missed a race since. Sad not to see you on the league racing circuit these days, I’m sure you’ve still got the skill! Just a matter of practice and dedication, no way you’ve lost that legendary race pace 😉 Try not to get disheartened by low views, you still make great vids and I’ll keep watching them no matter what. Hope life is going ok with you these days

Lewis Hamilton in 2021: Am I a joke to you?

[matthewmyatt]

Basic and simple but still took skill to be quick at

[JH-zkzp]

I own every codys F1 game, and out of them all F1 2012 was my favourite. I always play no assists, and 2012 was the best experience for me, I put countless hours in, and there was something extremely satisfying about beating the AI around their "home" circuits because they definitely gave a buff when a driver was on their "home track". The time trials were great fun, the challenges were actually challenging and Legend AI were tough but not unbeatable. Thoroughly enjoy the game and still have my 360 so I can play this, OG Halo 1&2, AvP Exctinction, Doom 3 & a couple others :D

I played F1 2012 the most. I enjoyed it the most. I loved the car physics and its driving. I still play f1 2012 more than any f1 codemasters game lol

[Razaak]

Kobayashi, Kovalainen, Petrov and Vergne were all robbed in my opinion - all were great drivers who sadly only lasted a few seasons but showed great skill

[AngryChineseWoman]

Trail braking was so fun in F1 2012 and 2013

[SiVlog]

2012 was a reflection of what F1 could be in an ideal world, an ultra close, ultra competitive field where seemingly anyone and everyone could get on pole position and challenging for race wins (as shown by seven winners of the first seven races). However, if we dig below the surface, the picture is not as rosy. The only reason why so many drivers won races in the early part of the season was because of the tyres, it was a case of who got the tyres working properly at any one time. Don't get me wrong, 2012 was one of the best seasons in F1 history in my opinion, but once changes all the teams began to understand the tyres more, it reverted to either Ferrari, Red Bull or McLaren winning races (indeed the latter, despite falling short in both championships, finished 2012 with the fastest car).

In terms of Valencia, I'm with you. Yes the swing bridge at the start of sector 2 was more of a showpiece rather than anything that would improve the show, the last sector was super! From turns 16 to 25, it featured each corner being faster than the previous one, threading through the incredibly fast but deceptively narrow section carrying as much speed as they can before heavy braking for the last corner. Such an underrated track, I miss it, it's so much better and has more character than Sochi for example
