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. 
#MonzaFor2016

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 . 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...

What Happened to Scuderia Ferrari in 2020

It is no secret that the start of the 2020 F1 season for Ferrari has been disastrous. The team is lacking pace and can barely match up to Racing point let alone Mercedes and RedBull. Ferrari has been the challenger or No.2 team in the Mercedes dominant hybrid era.  However, the question remains as to why Ferrari have not been able to match up to the likes of Mercedes and RedBull in the past. Even with multiple world champions in their team like Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel, the team have not been able to return to form. Ferrari's main problem seems to be its tendency to lean towards one driver and its poor communication. They seem to have been stumbling in places where they really shouldn't, making rookies mistakes. The most recent example I can think of is Canada 2019 where Ferrari allegedly forgot to tell Leclerc about his teammate's 5-second penalty. Lets not even get started on how bad the tyre strategies have been.  Mercedes, on the other han...
