Italian Grand Prix 2016

Italian GP 2016

Nico Rosberg's two consistent wins and Lewis Hamilton's two  flawed races have brought down the championship lead to a mere 2 points. From Rosberg's 43 point advantage to Hamilton's 19 point advantage and finally now to 2 points it's been one hell of a fight between these two.

Ferrari gave their fans plenty to cheer about. Overtaking the slow starting Hamilton on the start put the Ferraris of Vettel and Raikkonen in 2nd and 3rd respectively. But Mercedes' blistering pace was eventually able to steal one podium position from the Ferraris. Sebastian Vettel did finish 3rd which gave the tifosi a lot to cheer about. Ferrari insist that things are calming down and that they are headed in a positive direction. The tracks coming up suit Redbull but at the same time are tracks in which Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen have gone well in. Maybe Ferrari can challenge Redbull and probably even Mercedes in Singapore.

Redbull were prepared for one of the "toughest races of season" in Monza. Williams had better pace than the Bulls throughout the weekend. Daniel Ricciardo had been trailing Valtteri bottas for a few laps and he managed to pull of a stellar move down into turn 1, taking both Bottas and probably the Williams garage by surprise. This was probably the overtake of the year.

Meanwhile Jenson Button has pulled a Mika Haikkinen and has decided to take a " year off ". What Mclaren called an "Innovative three driver strategy" will include Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandroone but Jenson will take on the role of a test driver with a possible return to the main line up in 2018. Hopefully this won't be his last season.

But seriously Fernando Alonso had the best team radio.


Felipe Massa also announced his retirement from F1 at the end of this season. This leaves a big question mark as to who will take up his place in Williams. ( rumour has it that it might be Lance stroll). Apart from that Felipe has been a major part of F1 , he's arguably one of F1's best drivers. Felipe will be missed

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
