Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull were unstoppable this year winning over half of the races in an action packed season. Vettel became the youngest double world champion breaking many records along the way, leaving the others to play catch up. Mclaren and Ferrari will be working hard over the winter to try and close the gap which will make the new season even more exciting. 2012 also sees the return of the 2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen, with Lotus Renault GP, who will be keen to get back to his winning ways. With only 4 months until lights out again in Melbourne don’t miss out, book your place on some of our fantastic Grand Prix tours.
