2015 Formula One Season



And a another season has gone by , another champion has been crowned . I think it's fair to this season has been the story of one team Mercedes and one driver Lewis Hamilton, though eventually it found somewhat of challenger i.e Ferrari . Lewis Hamilton has used the monster of a car and engine that Mercedes built him and won the championship a 3rd time.He did an amazing job this year and deserved the championship no doubt. Nico Rosberg unfortunately found his momentum after Lewis won the championship and scored 3 poles and wins in a row. Sebastian Vettel left Redbull to join Ferrari , which most thought was a wrong move. The season began it was clear that Sebastian had made the right choice . Winning the second race of the season and two more in Hungary and Singapore , Ferrari clearly established themselves as the "best of the rest" and Sebastian Vettel became the only challenger to Rosberg and Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen has had a pretty good season , although it's been filled with ups and down , Kimi did a good job this year finishing off the season with a podium. Williams were the ones expected to be the challengers . They still have a lot of work to do . Max Verstappen was clearly the star with his overtakes , shows that he has bright future in F1. Mclaren Honda has surely improved over the season but still have a lot of work to do. Well atleast they finished the year with both cars running. Jenson Button are the unsung heroes of the this season , keeping his cool even with all the problems that he faced this season. Redbull have had two not so great years , the engine for 2016 is still unknown but they sure will be there !  Daniel Ricciardo seems happy that he a tough season , but the question is has his performance reduced from 2014 ? Lotus has had an okay season and they faced a lot of problems with their hospitality not being open for quiet a few races causing a delay. Bernie Ecclestone had to pay for the Lotus hospitality to reopen in Brazil . Romain Grojean finished on the podium once which happens to be their best result so far . Next year Lotus might not even be called Lotus ( Renault takeover) . Force India have had a moderate season. They have had some great results and in Abu dhabi they  were almost on the podium . They can surely do better and next year we'll see what they can do with the new mercedes engine.  

 Overall it was good season but it's been the story of Mercedes. At the finale in Abu Dhabi Sebastian Vettel said in a post race interview that "Mercedes are beatable". So for all we know 2016 might me Ferrari's year , they might just be equal to Mercedes . Is Nico Rosberg's form temporary ? Have Ferrari made the right choice with keeping Kimi Raikkonen ? Will Sebastian Vettel challenge Lewis Hamilton ? How will Haas F1 team perform ? What are Honda going to do ? 
A lot of questions and the answers for which we have to wait a long time.

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
