Russian Grand Prix 2016


The opening lap  in the Russian grand prix was accident filled. 
Danil Kvyat hit Sebastian Vettel not once but twice and also managed to compromise his teammate Daniel Ricciardo's race . Kvyat's misjudgments has led to a lot of people saying that he requires a harsher penalty than just a stop and go. 
Nico hulkenberg and Rio Haryanto were also involved in an accident resulting in both of them retiring. Max Verstappen had an issue with the engine and thus had to retire.

These accidents meant that Lewis was now in P5 , Kimi lost the place he made up back to Valtteri and eventually lost his place to Lewis as well. Lewis and Kimi were both released from behind of Vallteri when he pitted and both of them managed the undercut and ended up in front of Valtteri. 
Kimi's podium is the 700th podium for Ferrari.

MEANWHILE ... Nico was up front going faster and faster lap by lap.
Renualt score their first points since the franchise returned , an amazing job by Kevin Magnussen,
 A really good race for Mclaren as both the cars (seriously both) finished in the top 10 ! Fernando Alonso finished P6 and Jenson Button P10. Very encouraging for Mclaren as they have struggled so much last year.

Vladimir Putin made an appearance as he did the past two years and he made kimi raikkonen aka the iceman smile ! The only people who've made kimi smile includes Minttu , Robin (Fiancee and son) and Sebastian Vettel (Teammate , best friend).  But seriously it's not always that you get see the president of a country personally congratulate the drivers .
Iceman and President

Apart from the race , May 1st marks the 22nd death anniversary of F1 legend Ayrton Senna. Today is marked as black day in Motorsport history. He maybe be gone but will never be forgotten. His legacy will always live on. 
Mclaren F1
                                                 
                                          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...

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".
