The best of the 2012 Caption Competition winners | 2012 F1 season review

The Caption Competitions were a new addition to the site this year and they proved very popular.

We had two dozen different pictures on the site and thousands of amusing suggestions for captions. Here's my pick of the best and who thought them up. Look out for more on the site next year.
