Max Verstappen overtakes the show in rain hit Brazil

The unpredictable weather in Brazil guarantees a good race. 
It was going to be a wet race and the race started behind the safety car (boring). Lewis Hamilton led the race from start to finish. Safety cars and Red flags kept resetting the gaps to zero. First Marcus Ericsson crashed , seconds after racing resumed Kimi Raikkonen ended up in the wall on the front straight. Overall there were 2 red flags and about 5 safety car intervals leading to a 3 and half hour race. Redbull tried something a little different with their tyre strategy but it failed and Max had to pit for full wets on Lap 54. He re-joined the race in 16th and overtook 13 cars in 17 laps that brought him up to 3rd! Max is surely a world champion in the making. 

Felipe Massa had a very emotional last home race. He unfortunately crashed but received a huge round of applause from the crowd and the mechanics.

Sebastian Vettel finished 5th after spinning early on. He made his way his through the field from 19th. The Ferrari struggled to overtake Toro Rosso‘s Carlos Sainz until the penultimate lap. Segio perez finished 4th increasing the odds for Force India to finish 4th in the constructors.

Felipa Nasar had his first points finish and finished a brilliant 9th.
Sauber has now jumped Manor in the constructors standings.
Every team that entered the 2016 f1 season has scored at least a point.  

12 points separate Rosberg and Hamilton. If Lewis wins in Abu Dhabi and Nico finishes 3rd , Nico will be crowned the 2016 champion. But keep in mind Lewis still has a chance and Nico won’t give up. It’s a tough battle. In 2 weeks time we’ll know who the new World champions is.

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".
