For the third time in four races it is Lewis Hamilton who has yet again won.. On the other hand Nico rosberg had a very frantic race . Having to overtake the Ferrari's of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen again and again but eventually losing out to Kimi Raikkonen in the final laps.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                [picture courtesy:formula1.com]                                                                                                                         
                                                                           
Nico rosberg drove an aggressive race but yet wasn't able to get any where near Hamilton. 
He was kept honest throughout the race by Ferrari who were right on his tail. Unfortunately due to a break issue he had to give up second and settle for third.

Ferrari and Sebastian vettel were able to undercut Nico Rosberg twice but both times managed to lose the place to him. Vettel's race was very messy indeed. A mistake he made on the last turn cost him a front wing change , therefore comprising his position from 2nd to 5th.Where he eventually finished.

On the other hand his teammate stood out this race , managing his tyres better than any other driver .Raikkonen finished a well deserved P2. He was "pleased" with the position. 


Felipe Massa had a frustrating race , starting from the pit lane as a sensor problem prevented his power unit from firing up. Jenson Button failed to start the race as a problem was detected with the car's Energy Recovery System (ERS). Fireworks after the race weren't only from the circuit but also from Daniel Ricciardo Redbull who finished 6th place despite his engine blowing up on the run down the main straight.He is now onto his fourth engine. Renualt has some serious work to do. Fernando Alonso just missed out on the points finishing 11th. Mclaren honda are definitely making progress. Sergio Perez surprised his team by making a two stop strategy work. Lotus finally seemed to be getting their groove back . Romain Grojean finished a strong P7. Sadly neither the Toro Rosso finished the race

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 parades with

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 hitting about 50-55 degrees cent
