What is happening in Mercedes?


There seems to be a lot of friction between the drivers which is clearly visible and it's not a surprise. 
Recently Lewis Hamilton indicated that his relationship with Nico Rosberg was "Surprisingly really good" ( Before the Austrian GP) .Anyone would find that hard to believe considering all the history between them.



The last lap of the Austrian GP was thrilling and exciting that is unless you are not a Mercedes fan. The crash between Nico and Lewis which ended with Nico dropping down to 4th and Lewis winning the race. This incident was best described by Toto Wolff as "brainless" and that Mercedes are willing to bring in Team orders if it is going to be the only way to keep their drivers from tripping over each other. Even Niki Lauda said Mercedes has a tough call to make and he's usually against team orders. 

 Lewis of course was against the idea of team orders saying it would take the joy of racing away and would become boring for the fans. Which makes sense , Mercedes should let them race and the drivers should try not to crash into each other. Lewis and Nico have been friends for a long time , since they were karting and hopefully they can forget their differences and just put on a good show for the fans and be friends again.   

 Toto is set to talk to both the drivers this Thursday (tomorrow)
Lewis said that there is nothing to talk about but Niki thinks differently and said that " this nonsense has to stop". 
Well Team orders or no we will only find out in Silverstone. Maybe Lewis and Nico should take advice from Seb and Kimi. 


 About the tyre blowout that Sebastian Vettel had , Pirelli and Scuderia Ferrari are looking into it together. For starters Ferrari did not mess up the strategy this time. With a one stop Sebastian would have won the race. The tyres didn't show any signs of puncture nor were they losing performance in an alarming manner. Unfortunately for Sebastian the blowout was caused due to a debris.   
                                       

 Anyhow July is a month with 4 race weekends ! It's every f1 fan's dream month. With two back to back race weekends. Happy F1 month!

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...
