It was not until the <a href="/wiki/2012_European_Grand_Prix" title="2012 European Grand Prix">European Grand Prix</a> in June that a driver, <a href="/wiki/Scuderia_Ferrari" title="Scuderia Ferrari">Ferrari's</a> <a href="/wiki/Fernando_Alonso" title="Fernando Alonso">Fernando Alonso</a>, won his second race of the year, and with it, emerged as a championship contender. Alonso maintained his hold on the championship lead for the next seven races, taking his third win in <a href="/wiki/2012_German_Grand_Prix" title="2012 German Grand Prix">Germany</a> and finishing on the podium in the <a href="/wiki/2012_British_Grand_Prix" title="2012 British Grand Prix">United Kingdom</a>, <a href="/wiki/2012_Italian_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Italian Grand Prix">Italy</a> and <a href="/wiki/2012_Singapore_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Singapore Grand Prix">Singapore</a>. However, costly first-lap retirements in <a href="/wiki/2012_Belgian_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Belgian Grand Prix">Belgium</a> and <a href="/wiki/2012_Japanese_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Japanese Grand Prix">Japan</a> allowed his rivals to catch up, and defending <a href="/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%27_Champions" title="List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions">World Champion</a> <a href="/wiki/Sebastian_Vettel" title="Sebastian Vettel">Sebastian Vettel</a> – like Alonso, a two-time title winner – took the lead in the <a href="/wiki/2012_Korean_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Korean Grand Prix">sixteenth race</a> of the season. Vettel, too, encountered difficulties throughout the season; contact with a backmarker left him to finish outside the points in <a href="/wiki/2012_Malaysian_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Malaysian Grand Prix">Malaysia</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Alternator" title="Alternator">alternator</a> failures at the European and Italian Grands Prix cost him valuable points and exclusion from qualifying in <a href="/wiki/2012_Abu_Dhabi_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix">Abu Dhabi</a> led him to start from the pit lane. Vettel entered <a href="/wiki/2012_Brazilian_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Brazilian Grand Prix">the final race of the season</a> with a thirteen-point lead over Alonso. Alonso needed a podium finish to stand any chance of becoming <a href="/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%27_Champions" title="List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions">World Drivers' Champion</a>, but in a race of attrition that finished under the safety car, Vettel finished in sixth place, scoring enough points to win his third consecutive championship, becoming just the third driver in the sport's sixty-three-year history to do so.

In addition to seeing seven different drivers win the first seven races, the 2012 season broke several records. The calendar for the season included twenty races, breaking the previous record of nineteen, which was first set in <a href="/wiki/2005_Formula_One_World_Championship" title="2005 Formula One World Championship">2005</a>.

This concept was originally banned in incremental phases, with increasingly restrictive rules on what teams could and could not do, with a full ban to be applied from the <a href="/wiki/2011_British_Grand_Prix" title="2011 British Grand Prix">2011 British Grand Prix</a> onwards. However, the incremental ban was controversial, with several teams applying for and receiving permission to circumvent the total ban. After discussion between the FIA and engine manufacturers, the original regulations were restored, with the full ban delayed until 2012. The regulations in 2012 governed the design of the exhaust with the teams agreeing to strict constraints on the position of the exhaust tailpipe. This resulted in the exhaust exiting the bodywork much higher up than in 2011, and no longer in the vicinity of the diffuser.<a href="#cite_note-Exhaust-93">[93]</a> Several teams, including <a href="/wiki/Williams_Grand_Prix_Engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Williams Grand Prix Engineering">Williams</a><a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_in_Formula_One" title="Mercedes-Benz in Formula One">Mercedes</a><a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> used the Young Driver Tests in <a href="/wiki/Yas_Marina_Circuit" title="Yas Marina Circuit">Abu Dhabi</a> as an opportunity to test parts for the 2012 season in the face of the ban. In October 2011, a clarification to the amended rules was issued, effectively banning "exotic" engine maps;<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> in November, further amendments were introduced, completely banning the practice of blowing exhaust gasses over parts of the car to improve downforce, following a bid by several teams to allow it under certain conditions.<a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a> Further amendments were made in February 2012 when <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_in_Formula_One" title="Mercedes-Benz in Formula One">Mercedes</a> alerted the FIA to a loophole in the regulations that would allow teams to continue using a partially blown diffuser. The FIA responded by re-writing the software governing the engine's Electronic Control Unit to close the loophole.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a></li> <li>At the <a href="/wiki/2012_German_Grand_Prix" title="2012 German Grand Prix">German Grand Prix</a> in July, <a href="/wiki/Red_Bull_Racing" title="Red Bull Racing">Red Bull Racing</a> were referred to race stewards after FIA Technical Delegate <a href="/wiki/Jo_Bauer" title="Jo Bauer">Jo Bauer</a> noted that their engine maps had the potential to violate the technical regulations.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> Red Bull stood accused of manipulating the relationship between the torque produced by the <a href="/wiki/Red_Bull_RB8" title="Red Bull RB8">Red Bull RB8</a> and the degree to which the throttle was open – particularly in medium-speed corners – thereby allowing more air to pass through the exhaust and over the diffuser, generating more downforce. Red Bull were cleared of wrongdoing, as, in the stewards' words, they had not technically broken any rules, but the FIA announced plans to rewrite the regulations governing throttle mapping so as to outlaw the practice entirely ahead of the <a href="/wiki/2012_Hungarian_Grand_Prix" title="2012 Hungarian Grand Prix">Hungarian Grand Prix</a> one week later.<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a> The rule changes required teams to submit an engine map used during one of the first four races of the season, which became known as the "reference map". Any subsequent changes to the throttle map would require the approval of the FIA, provided that the torque output above 6,000 <a href="/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute" title="Revolutions per minute">rpm</a> was within two percent of the output specified on the reference map.<a href="#cite_note-Hungary_2%-101">[101]</a> Further changes would be allowed at races with "exceptional atmospheric conditions", as designated by the FIA.<a href="#cite_note-Hungary_2%-101">[101]</a></li> <li>In January 2012, the FIA banned the use of "reactive ride-height".<a href="#cite_note-No_RRH-102">[102]</a> The system, first proposed by <a href="/wiki/Lotus_F1" title="Lotus F1">Lotus</a> in 2010 (but not applied until 2012),<a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a> used hydraulic cylinders located in the brake calipers and suspension push-rods to make minute adjustments to the ride height of the car, thereby keeping the ride height at an optimal level throughout the race and providing stability during braking.<a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a> The FIA initially approved the device as being legal,<a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a> and several teams, including <a href="/wiki/Scuderia_Ferrari" title="Scuderia Ferrari">Ferrari</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Williams_Grand_Prix_Engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Williams Grand Prix Engineering">Williams</a>,<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> submitted plans to the FIA for their own versions of the device before it was banned one week later. The FIA later confirmed that the reactive ride-height systems violated Article 3.15 of the technical regulations, which states that "any aerodynamic effect created by the suspension should be incidental to its primary function" and "any device that influences the car's aerodynamics must remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car"<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> and further noted that the system's primary purpose was achieving aerodynamic gains as opposed to providing stability under braking, and that the use of reactive ride-heights could also be challenged under Article 10.2 of the technical regulations, which govern suspension systems.<a href="#cite_note-109">[109]</a></li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg/220px-F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1549" data-file-height="1116"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 159px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg/220px-F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="159" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg/330px-F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg/440px-F1_2012_McLaren_and_Force_India_nose.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>The reduction in the height of the nose led to several teams using a "<a href="/wiki/Platypus" title="Platypus">platypus</a>" nose design, as seen in the <a href="/wiki/Force_India_VJM05" title="Force India VJM05">Force India VJM05</a> (top).

conditions that were never quite wet enough for drivers to use wet tyres, but never quite dry enough for slick tyres to provide enough grip. While <a href="/wiki/Jenson_Button" title="Jenson Button">Jenson Button</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lewis_Hamilton" title="Lewis Hamilton">Lewis Hamilton</a> fought over the race lead, <a href="/wiki/Sebastian_Vettel" title="Sebastian Vettel">Sebastian Vettel</a> was involved in a first-lap clash with <a href="/wiki/Bruno_Senna" title="Bruno Senna">Bruno Senna</a> that damaged his exhaust and spun him around, relegating him to last place. Senna retired on the spot, as did <a href="/wiki/Sergio_P%C3%A9rez" title="Sergio Pérez">Sergio Pérez</a>, who was caught in the crossfire.<a href="#cite_note-337">[337]</a> The race was one of attrition, with <a href="/wiki/Pastor_Maldonado" title="Pastor Maldonado">Pastor Maldonado</a> and <a href="/wiki/Romain_Grosjean" title="Romain Grosjean">Romain Grosjean</a> also crashing out early. Button seized the lead from Hamilton, but soon found himself under pressure from <a href="/wiki/Nico_H%C3%BClkenberg" title="Nico Hülkenberg">Nico Hülkenberg</a> and lost the lead to the German driver on lap 18, and second place to Hamilton shortly thereafter. The field stabilised themselves after the first round of stops, with Vettel in the lower points and <a href="/wiki/Fernando_Alonso" title="Fernando Alonso">Fernando Alonso</a> running fourth when he needed a podium to stand any chance of being champion. Hülkenberg spun on lap 48 and lost the lead to Hamilton, but caught the McLaren on lap 54 as they encountered lapped traffic. The two made contact in the first corner, forcing Hamilton out of the race and earning Hülkenberg a drive-through penalty for causing an avoidable accident.<a href="#cite_note-338">[338]</a> In the wake of their collision, Button re-took the lead and held on to the end of the race. Meanwhile, the rain intensified, prompting teams to scramble for tyres. Hülkenberg's penalty and Hamilton's retirement promoted Alonso to the podium, which became second place when team-mate <a href="/wiki/Felipe_Massa" title="Felipe Massa">Felipe Massa</a> yielded for him. A slow stop for Vettel relegated him to twelfth and swinging the balance of power in Alonso's favour. In the last ten laps of the race, Vettel began to make his way back up the order until he was seventh, just enough to secure the title, but leaving him vulnerable if the damage he received on the first lap – which by now had left a long crack running along the floor of his car – got worse. Vettel's seventh became sixth when <a href="/wiki/Michael_Schumacher" title="Michael Schumacher">Michael Schumacher</a> moved aside to let Vettel through.<a href="#cite_note-339">[339]</a> Two laps from the end of the race, <a href="/wiki/Paul_di_Resta" title="Paul di Resta">Paul di Resta</a> crashed heavily as he came onto the main straight, forcing the deployment of the safety car. Button won the race, with Alonso second and Massa third, but Vettel's sixth place was enough to secure his third consecutive <a href="/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%27_Champions" title="List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions">World Drivers' Championship</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Vettel_3_times-340">[340]</a> <a href="/wiki/Kimi_R%C3%A4ikk%C3%B6nen" title="Kimi Räikkönen">Kimi Räikkönen</a> finished the season third overall, having benefited from Hamilton's retirement to hold onto the place following a bizarre incident in which he left the circuit and attempted to rejoin by taking to the support paddock pit lane, only to find the way blocked and forcing him to double back and find another way onto the circuit.<a href="#cite_note-341">[341]</a> In his final race in Formula One,<a href="#cite_note-342">[342]</a> Schumacher's seventh place saw him finish the season in thirteenth place overall; his worst performance over a season since he contested six rounds during the <a href="/wiki/1991_Formula_One_World_Championship" title="1991 Formula One World Championship">1991</a> season.

At the time, the first sector of the circuit was under yellow flag conditions following the spin and retirement of <a href="/wiki/Pastor_Maldonado" title="Pastor Maldonado">Pastor Maldonado</a> at Curva do Sol, the <a href="/wiki/Aut%C3%B3dromo_Jos%C3%A9_Carlos_Pace" class="mw-redirect" title="Autódromo José Carlos Pace">Interlagos circuit's</a> third corner, which feeds onto the back straight. Vettel overtook Vergne along the straight, which led to claims that the pass was illegal because of the yellow flags.<a href="#cite_note-347">[347]</a> Intense media speculation suggested that the challenge threatened Vettel's championship because as the race finished behind the safety car, any post-race penalty had the potential to demote him in the race standings, and Vettel would not have enough points to secure the title. Ferrari wrote to the <a href="/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_Internationale_de_l%27Automobile" title="Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile">FIA</a>, requesting clarification on the matter.<a href="#cite_note-348">[348]</a> The FIA reviewed the incident and declared that Vettel's pass was legal as a green flag was being shown by a marshal adjacent to the pit exit, meaning the track was green from that point onward; the confusion had been caused by a digital board showing a yellow flag on the exit of Curva do Sol some one hundred metres before the marshalling post.<a
