Monaco A boring start but a surprising finish



One of the luckiest victory for Rosberg and the most pitiful defeat for Hamilton.  
After the start of the race in Monaco it became very predictable as to who the victor was going to be until the second safety car where the Mercedes decided to pit Hamilton the race leader who had lead of 21 seconds. By doing this they conveniently handed the race win and second to position to Rosberg and Vettel respectively.

 Vettel had a very clean race finishing in second position unlike his teammate Kimi Raikkonen who started and finished sixth. He was up to fifth but eventually lost that position to Redbull driver Daniel Ricciardo who clipped Raikkonen's wheel while getting the overtake done . As usual the Finn's team radio did not fail to entertain us.

There was no penalty given to Ricciardo , which Raikkonen thought was unfair.

 Danil Kvyat finished in fourth which is so far is his career best.Both the redbull's had a good race in Monaco finishing 4th and 5th, which is the best they have this season.But in circuit like Monaco's where aerodynamics plays a bigger part than engine this was meant to happen.Canadian Grand prix which is the next race will be a difficult one for Redbull.

 Mcalren Honda for the first time this season ! Jenson Button finished 9th giving Mclaren points and much required boost in confidence. There was chance for both Mclaren's finishing in the points but that got ruined due to gearbox failure in Fernando Alonso's car . 
Nevertheless Mclaren are making progress and heading in the right direction. 

 Max Verstappen crashed into the barriers ( just like his father did 1996, In the same corner ) at turn one after a colliding his front tyre with the rear of Lotus Renault’s Romain Grosjean. Despite being the only incident of the race, its importance is realised in full essence only by Hamilton who went from a possible comfortable win to a third place on the podium.  

As per usual there was PLENTY of glamour in Monaco. Cristiano Ronaldo was there, supermodels Cara Delevingne ,Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid , Kylie and Kendall Jenner , Hailey Baldwin, Rugby player Jamie Roberts, Michael Fassbender , Adventurer Felix Baumgartn, One direction member Liam Payne and may more were there. 

Throughout the race one person that everyone thought about was Jules Bianchi. 

 Jules is still being treated for his horrid crash in Japan last year in a facility in Nice. His father recently released a statement saying that Jules's Condition is still stagnant as he continues to fight for his life.His father says right now the most important this is that Jules is still and is continuing to fight. Hopefully Jules will be able to recover quickly and maybe even get back in the car . #ForzaJules 

 Sabine Kehm ( Michael Schumacher's Agent) said that Michael is continuing to make progress but one should keep in mind of the seriousness of his accident. There has been very limited information about how Michael is doing. All we know is that he is no longer in life danger , he is making progress everyday and as former ferrari boss Jean Todt said he will be able to lead a "relatively normal life".   #KeepFightingMichael 




Monaco which felt like an Okay race was made interesting by the Mercedes blunder but only towards the end. Next race is in Canada where last year Redbull and Daniel Ricciardo made an impact by winning . What is going to happen this year ? will Ferrari take another win ? Will Williams be a threat to Mercedes or Ferrari ?.

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
