Mercedes' thoughts on Scuderia Ferrari



Recently Mercedes held an event called 'Stars and Cars' in order to celebrate their best year in Motorsport.  Stars and Cars was very similar to Race of Champions , there were a number of drivers retired racers like Mika Hakkinen, David Coulthard , up-coming drivers like Mick schumacher (who received the highest number of fan votes in order to enter the competition) and of course various other Mercedes driver from across the racing industry i.e, DTM , F1 ( yes Nico rosberg and Lewis Hamilton were there) , Formula 3  etc. 
Daniel Juncadella was crowned champion of stars and cars 

An acquaintance of mine was able to attend this event and so i asked them to ask Toto Wolff ( Owner and ED of Mercedes AMG) on his thoughts about the Threat from Ferrari and this is what he had to say : " We think that they are doing a good job , they are taking some intelligent decisions , it's a good bunch of people and they have all the resources they need. They made a big step from 2014 to 2015 and we expect them to be a stronger competitor next year. Actually it's something that we are looking forward to

Toto had decided to answer this as team boss and from the looks of it Mercedes might have an actual challenger in 2016 This should make things a whole lot interesting in the 2016 Formula One season. 





Until the next race , 
Goodbye

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...

F1 driver nicknames

Nico "Britney" Rosberg  Nico Rosberg's golden hair has given him the nickname "Britney" in reference to Britney spears since his days as Mark Webber's teammate in Williams. This nickname had reached a ridiculous point when in 2011 Rosberg found that his passport photo had been substituted with a picture of Britney spears (seriously look!).   2,  Crashtor Maldonado  Pastor Maldonado earned this nickname due to his excessive number of crashes.This nickname has led to the formation of many memes and twitter fan accounts dedicated to his crashes.                                                                3.   Iceman Kimi Raikkonen is popularly nicknamed as "The Iceman". His straightforward answers and ice like expression dubbed him this nickname. Raikkonen has inke...
