 First race in Australia everybody thought the Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton would romp away this year . But after this race it seems like Ferrari could actually cause troubles to Mercedes putting on an actual Championship fight like it should be.

 Kimi Raikkonen's bad luck continued with an early puncture after being hit by three cars , he drove from the back of the pack finishing P4.  Setting fastest laps on his way . 
Sebastian Vettel has definitely silenced the critics who said his move to Ferrari was wrong . 
Vettel had purely beaten the Mercedes with pace and good Tyre strategy . His doubters were no doubt choking on their cornflakes as they watched this display.

Post race press conferrence in Australia where nico rosberg said he'd like to see Ferrari give them a challenge . And they sure did . Nico be careful what you wish for it might just come true like this one.
Ferrari are surely back and Mercedes have a threat on their hands now .






Max Verstappen became the youngest every f1 driver to score points . He qualified 6th in tricky conditions and made some fantastic overtakes , especially one on his senior Redbull teammate Daniel Ricciardo which was very satisfying to watch  . He eventually finished seventh making him the youngest every driver to score points in an f1 race .
He maybe just 17 years old but he should never be discounted , he has a bright future in F1.

An interesting result was that both the Toro Rosso finished ahead of the Redbulls , proving a point to Redbull and Renault . With Ferrari and Williams closing the gap on Mercedes ,Redbull have a lot of catching up to. Let alone catch the Mercedes they now have to worry about catching Williams maybe even the Toro Rosso .



It nice to have Fernando Alonso back on track after that accident in Jerez . Details of the crash are not very clear . Nobody outside the Mclaren facility seemed to know the actual reason . Alonso clarified that he hadn't woken up in 1995 nor was he speaking in Italian .
Mclaren Honda have a rocky road ahead and they better brace themselves . Despite having a double retirement , Mclaren insist that they have made significant step in terms of performance . Fernando ran as high as eighth before an ERS cooling problem required him to stop his car on lap 21. Jenson was able to latch onto a midfield battle but was also ordered to stop by the team. He retired on lap 41 with a turbo issue.





Next race is in China 10th - 12th April , See you then .

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...

5 things you should not tell an F1 fan

Things you should never tell an f1 fan:- 1. "The cars just go around in circles."     This is probably the most common thing that F1 fans hear. To everyone who said that DO THOSE CIRCUITS LOOK LIKE CIRCLES ?.  2. "How hard can driving be?"    These cars that are being driven are no ordinary road cars. To drive an F1 car you first need an FIA super licence. There is only hand full of drivers who have an active super licence meaning only a few are qualified to drive an F1 car .  Additionally,  when driving an F1 car there are a lot of other things that act on the drivers (keep reading). It's no easy job to drive an F1 car.     3. "*insert name of any other sport* is more physically exhausting and harder than F1."    I magine that you're going at about 300 kmph, strapped to a  702 kg car. Now your heart is beating at 200 beats per minute and temperatures around you are h...
