Why Mercedes weren't penalized by FIA , Italian GP

 

A Small review of the race . 
The race was won by Lewis Hamilton in an utterly dominant drive.Kimi Raikkonen starting from the front row finished fifth. While Raikkonen blames the clutch for his disastrous start team principal Maurizio Arrivabene blames Raikkonen. Sebastian Vettel finished what he called "The best second place ever" giving the tifosi something to cheer about. Nico rosberg retired from the race with an engine blowout. The last spot on the podium was occupied by an ex-Ferrari driver , current Williams driver Felipe Massa. Both Lotuses were out within 3 laps.

Lewis Hamilton's left rear soft tyre was 0.3PSI below by the minimum tyre starting pressure specified by Pirelli for the Italian GP , similarly on Nico Rosberg's tyre was 1.1PSI.
The prescribed minimun tyre pressure was 19 PSI for the rear tyres following the tyre blowouts at the previous race. 

Mercedes were cleared of any wrong doing because the pressure in the concerned tyres were at minimum start pressure when they were fitted onto the car. The tyre pressure reduced below the permitted level  as the engineers had disconnected the tyre blanket from its power source. Since Mercedes followed the correct procedure they were not DSQ or penalized.  
 
FIA's official statement regarding the tyre pressure issue.


Other news from Monza. 
Lewis Hamilton is now Blonde ! . When asked why dyed his hair he said "because i could" .He also said that he was in an experimental phase and that the hair was temporary (Thank god !). 

Sebastian Vettel is now a father of two lovely girls ! . Emily and Matilda. Vettel actually refused to share any detail of his newly born daughter even her name . Cameras caught Sergio Machrionne ; Ferrari president , saying her name.
 










There is a risk of losing Monza in the 2016 say Bernie Ecclestone. I don't know how such a historic track , a staple of F1 can be in danger.With fans flooding the track on all 3 days , there seems to be no apparent reason for Monza to be removed from the race calendar.
Felipe Massa said that "Monza is part of our Blood".Quoting Sebastian Vettel who said "Removing Monza is basically like ripping our hearts out" And I agree, its a historic track , many memories have been made here and hopefully many more to come.

Manor F1 team are in likely to get Mercedes engines. Currently using Ferrari engines Manor are now in talks with Mercedes. Mercedes rejected the RedBull deal as they feared more competition. RedBull are not going to use Renault engines for 2016 is the current idea, they are now in talks with Ferrari for a deal. Will Ferrari like Mercedes reject the offer or will we have Redbull Ferrari  from 2016 ?

  Until the next race, 
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 .

They are often seen sharing jokes let it be on the podium or in the paddock , they spend most the driver's parad...
