Belgium Grand Prix 2015 Preview

The wait is over F1 fans , It's that time of the year again. F1 returns from its summer break for a race in the legendary circuit de Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. Lap record held by our very own Sebastian Vettel. 

Speaking of Sebastian Vettel who singed off the first half of the season with 2 wins , is
known for his aggressive comebacks in the second half. This race will be his 150th race and will be Scuderia Ferrari's 900th race!.  The king of Spa ,Kimi raikkonen's contract with Ferrari has been extended to 2016 . Raikkonen like I said before is know as the king of spa for a reason. Having won 4 times here , he is almost unstoppable in this circuit and silver arrows better keep an eye out for the iceman.  Ferrari are coming into this race weekend with great amount of positivity after having a phenomenal first half of the season. After Vettel's and Ferrari's dominant victory and pace in Hungary the silver arrows better watch out for the men in red.




Lewis Hamilton heads into the second half of the season as the championship leader , but teammate Nico rosberg and Ferrari driver Vettel are within striking distance.With just 42 points separating the three drivers there is everything to play for this weekend. Last year , there was a big controversy when Roberg clipped Hamilton at Les Combes when trying to pass the Briton for the lead. Tensions were high in Mercedes but this time around everything seems very cool . Mercedes are confident that such a type of incident will not occur again , although all eyes will be on the duo when they head down to Les Combes on sunday.

After scoring a double point finish in Hungary , Mclaren are getting ready for a tough weekend.Spa is track where one's power unit is decisive, though finishing in the points like they did in Hungary seems very far off at this point , Honda and Mclaren can certainly take away lots of positive feedback from Hungary. 

2014 Belgian GP winner Daniel Ricciardo is positive ahead of the race. Hoping to score another podium finish. The Hungarian GP proved to be a very successful race for the Bull having secured a 2-3 after facing what you could call a horrible few races. Although Renualt will have a lot of work to do , Redbull racing can hope for a decent weekend.


Suaber are eagerly looking forward for the race , as the Sauber C34-Ferrari will have a new engine specification as well as wings specific for the track. Sauber are hoping that this will help their performance greatly. They say they are facing critical races ahead. 

Okay i'm going to stop now and Let you enjoy the Race weekend. 
Until the next post 
Goodbye

F1 Friendships/Bromances

In the title i used the word 'Bromance', if you don't know what bromance means well to put it simply it friendship between men . It's not hard to tell that it's the combination of two words 'brother' and 'romance'.  There are bromances in everywhere and F1 is not an exception.They maybe rivals while on track but off track it's a little different.  1.Fernando Alonso/Mark Webber  Mark webber might have retired form Formula one but that doesn't mean that his friendship with fellow driver Mark webber would halt. They share a common love for cycling and are often seen together in the paddock ,F1 or Le Mans.    P.S their "shipped name is webbando"             2.Sebastian Vettel/Kimi Raikkonen   Now teammates these two have been friends ever since Vettel's entry into F1 in 2007. They are often seen sharing jokes let it be on the podium or in the paddock , they spend most the driver's parad...
