Suicidal Seagulls or Wrong strategy call ? What cost Ferrari the win - Canadian Grand Prix


Sebastian Vettel who started 3rd skipped both the Mercedes taking the lead straight away. Meanwhile Lewis and Nico got tangled up , a move by Lewis which was describe by Nico as a "hard one" ended up with Nico in P9.  Max Verstappen skipped Daniel Ricciardo and was now on course for a 
podium. 


Sebastian Vettel continued to increase the gap to Lewis but Lewis eventually caught up but wasn't close enough to make a move. Ferrari made a wrong strategy call by bringing Seb in from the lead (Like they did in Australia and Spain..That's throwing away three race victories) thus giving away the race victory to Mercedes. Towards the end of the race Seb began catching Lewis at some half second per lap but two mistakes or rather two seagulls cost him time. 
Yes Seagulls , Seb crashed Lewis's post race interview to talk the pair of "Suicidal Seagulls" due to which he had to brake late.  Lewis said he'd asked the Seagulls to be there that's probably why they didn't move. 


Back to Nico Rosberg who almost caught Max Verstappen for 4th place SPUN ! although Nico didn't lose the 5th place he made it very clear that he was " pissed off at Lewis" for making that "hard" move and next time will make sure he gets the best of such a situation. Some Senna vs Prost stuff going down in Mercedes. 
                                       
It seems Redbull just don't want to give any tyres to Daniel Ricciardo. Yet again they there was slow pitstop costing him time and track position. Dan had some harsh words for the team regarding their pitstops.

                                                  
The iceman suffered with getting the right temperature into the tyres and he finished 6th.  Williams were very sneaky and they made a surprise visit to the podium ! . Valtteri Bottas finished an amazing 3rd place due to a great one stop strategy (*cough cough* Ferrari *cough*). 
Jenson Button stopped when his car caught on fire and Felipe Massa too retired from the race 37 laps in. 



Good news is that the updates that Ferrari have brought has seemed to work as they expected it to.Qualifying where they struggled most seemed to go much better with Seb qualifying just 0.176 behind pole sitter Lewis Hamilton. With a good strategy Ferrari surely could have won this one . But as Seb says "It's a long season and a lot can still happen " 
Ferrari
                                                
It's back to back race weekends (cue Daniel Ricciardo smile) Every F1 fans favorite time. So we are off to Baku in Azerbaijan which is a new track this year . Still a lot is unknown about this track so Practice sessions are going to be key to finding information about the track and about how it evolves.

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".
