The tire compounds used in the 2012 season were also a subject of controversy. The tires, which were supplied by Pirelli, were criticized for being too prone to degradation. The issue led to a number of teams and drivers complaining about the tires, and it ultimately resulted in Pirelli making changes to the tire compounds mid-season. The 2012 season saw a number of driver changes, including the return of Kimi Räikkönen to Formula One. Räikkönen, who had taken a break from the sport, returned to Lotus and had a successful season, winning one race and finishing third in the championship.

The 2012 season was marked by a intense championship battle between seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who was driving for Mercedes, and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who was driving for McLaren. However, it was ultimately Sebastian Vettel, driving for Red Bull Racing, who emerged as the champion. F1 2012
