Coming Up Next : Malasyian Grand Prix

Malaysian Grand prix had first been held in the year 1962. 2015 is going to be the 16th running year of Malaysian gp in Sepang and it has been a host to some very good races , some controversial ones too . 

 Like the 2013 Malaysian GP is popular for the radio message to Sebastian Vettel: "Multi-21" ( car no.2 ahead of car no.1) . Sebastian Vettel ignored team orders to overtake Mark Webber and score a victory and Lewis Hamilton retaining third place in front of the Mercedes team-mate Nico rosberg on orders from team principal Ross brawn .


Even in 2014 when Felipe Massa , Valtteri Bottas and Jenson button batteled for Sixth place  during which Massa received a radio message saying " Felipe , Valtteri is faster than you" probably reminding him of his years as a number-two driver in Ferrari. Felipe did ignore the team order and finished ahead of Valtteri . 



Lets go back in time to 1999 where the German Michael schumacher had taken pole position by nearly a second, and on lap four of the race slowed and allowed his team mate Eddie Irvine to pass him. Later on, after all pit stops had been completed, Schumacher allowed Irvine to pass again, which meant that Irvine went on to win the race. Immediately after the race the two Ferraris were disqualified due to an infringement on their bargeboards.


Moving on to 2001 when both the Ferrari ran wide .Schumacher ran further across the gravel than Barrichello which meant he fell behind his teammate.

  The safety car came out on lap 4 to cope with the downpour which had suddenly occurred. Leader Trulli went off the track and slipped down the order soon after this. Barrichello pitted and endured a one-minute twelve second pit-stop, with Schumacher queueing behind. By the time all the chaos was sorted out the Ferraris were in positions tenth and eleventh .Both the Ferrari stormed from the back to finishing on the top steps of the podiums .
  Keep fighting Michael...
Last year we had solid Mercedes domination from start to finish with Lewis Hamilton leading the race , followed by Nico rosberg and Sebastian Vettel in his RedBull.










This year there is a high possibility of the same finish as 2014. Although it would be nice to see two Ferraris or Williams up there . 

 Who to watch of for this race ?
I'd say both the Ferrari and Williams and Daniel Ricciardo   . 
Ferrari and Williams have seemed to found their form and are slowly inching towards the mercedes .

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...

What Happened to Scuderia Ferrari in 2020

It’s no secret that the start of Ferrari’s 2020 F1 season has been disastrous. The team is seriously lacking pace and can barely match Racing Point—let alone Mercedes or Red Bull. Ferrari has traditionally been the main challenger or the No. 2 team during the Mercedes-dominated hybrid era. However, the lingering question is: why hasn’t Ferrari been able to consistently challenge the likes of Mercedes and Red Bull in recent years? Despite having multiple world champions like Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, and Sebastian Vettel in their lineup, the team has failed to return to its former glory. Ferrari’s main issues seem to stem from its tendency to favor one driver over the other and its poor internal communication. They continue to make mistakes that shouldn't happen at this level—rookie-level errors. A prime example is Canada 2019, where Ferrari allegedly failed to inform Charles Leclerc about his teammate's five-second penalty. And let’s not even start on their questionabl...
