    Welcome back to Episode 8 of "My Favourite F1 Season" on Autosport Retro, the series where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters from around the sport to talk about their favourite F1 season, and what it meant to them. This week, Kevin is joined by Autosport.com Editor Haydn Cobb to discuss his favourite F1 Season - 2012.

    2012 has been generally regarded as one of the greatest of the modern-day F1 seasons, with six out of the sport's twelve teams winning at least one race, of which, seven different drivers claimed victory. It was a season that featured a dramatic title fight between Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, with both men attempting to win their third World Championship, with Vettel taking the title by just three points. Haydn and Kevin talk about that battle, McLaren's role was the unreliable antagonist, the Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes switch being confirmed, and compare Autosport's own end-of season Top 10 driver rankings.

    Welcome back to Episode 7 of "My Favourite F1 Season" on Autosport Retro, the series where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters from around the sport to talk about their favourite F1 season, and what it meant to them. This week, Kevin is joined by Autosport F1 and Tech Editor Jake Boxall-Legge to discuss his favourite F1 Season - 1999.

    Known as a season with a lot of chaotic individual races, Mika Hakkinen would just barely take his second World Championship by just two points ahead of Eddie Irvine, who had become Ferrari's #1 contender for the season after a horror crash at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone broke both of Michael Schumacher's legs. Jake and Kevin discuss how Mika Hakkinen nearly threw the title away despite a dominant McLaren on paper, as well as the political shift at Ferrari, the impressive season from Heinz-Harald Frenzten, and the famous 1999 European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring which led to a famous win for British driver Johnny Herbert.

    Welcome back to Episode 6 of My Favourite F1 Season, where Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists and broadcasters past and present, to talk about their favourite F1 season. This week, Kevin is joined by Sportscar correspondent Gary Watkins to discuss the 1983 season.

    It was a new era for F1 entering 1983, "ground effect" floors on cars were banned, and it led to an intense battle between turbo-changed engines, and naturally aspirated Cosworth V8's, and a battle between Nelson Piquet and Alain Prost, with the Brazilian ultimately taking glory in the final round of the Championship in Kyalami. It marked Brabham's final World Championship, and the first turbo-powered car to win an F1 title. Gary and Kev break down the elegance of the grid, why Prost ultimately failed to win the title, as well as comparing the Top 10 Driver Rankings from Autosport and Auto Course.

"Spygate" clouded the middle of the season as McLaren was found with confidential Ferrari information, losing all of their Constructor's Championship points and being fined 100 million dollars.

    Lewis Hamilton made his F1 debut and was immediately in a heated battle with new signing and reigning two-time Champion Fernando Alonso, which came to a head with Fernando's infamous pitlane block at the Hungarian GP. Maurice shares stories of covering the huge stories, as well as Kimi Raikkonen's comeback to win the title, and sharing Autosport and Auto Course's Top 10 driver rankings for the season.
