2018 Autralian Grand Prix


The Australian Grand prix in classic Mercedes style with Lewis Hamilton setting a blistering qualifying lap to grab pole position. The race weekend wasn't particularly going well for Sebastian Vettel. For the most part, Kimi Raikkonen in the other Ferrari was faster and looked more comfortable with the car. 
During the race he failed to make any kind of impact on Hamilton or Raikkonen. However, his lack of performance came to his advantage when Ferrari decided to keep him out for longer. A perfectly timed VSC paired with software glitch for Mercedes meant Vettel would take the lead. With overtaking so difficult in Melbourne, Vettel maintained a lead to secure his second successive win at Australia. 

The new McLaren Renault combination seems to be heading in the right direction. Alonso's 5th place and Vandoorne's 9th place gave McLaren their sixth double points finish in two years. Alonso put on a stunning show, storming through the field from 11th to 5th. According to Alonso, McLaren finally have a car that is capable of competing. 

It is probably too early to tell whether it is going to be a three-way title fight, however adamant Toto Wolff is about it, there is no denying that Mercedes simply have an incredible amount of pace and by the looks of it neither Ferrari or RedBull can actually match it. On race day, the three teams seem closer but the one lap pace in the Mercedes is absolutely destroying. Ferrari and RedBull both know that they still have a lot work to do.

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
