After an 1-year break from F1 due to the pandemic, Monaco is returning to the calendar. Although it’s still early days in the championship, we are watching possibly the biggest head-to-head battle in the recent years. Of course, we had Lewis Hamilton vs. Nico Rosberg back in 2016 but this time the reigning world champion is against Max Verstappen from Red Bull. It’s always different to watch drivers from different teams fighting for the top spot of the podium compared…
We became witnesses of another fierce battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen last weekend in Portimao and we should be expecting another one this time! Both teams and drivers seem to be performing on their limits so let’s see who will be the first one to crack under that pressure. The upcoming race is in Barcelona, a circuit that all teams know inside-out due to the winter tests conducted here most seasons. Outside the top 3 or 4, Lando…
The championship battle between Hamilton and Verstappen is really tight with a single point separating the two drivers. Red Bull seem to have a faster car and have recently hired a Mercedes engineer to help them improve their power unit after Honda quits F1 at the end of the year. What seemed to be an easy 8th world championship for Lewis, will be the one he must fight hardest for! Championship aside, F1 has unanimously agreed to change the format…
After an electrifying Bahrain GP which saw the title contenders, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, fighting each other till the last lap and finishing with +0.745s splitting them, F1 is heading to Imola for the Emilia Romagna GP. This circuit has produced great battles in the past. This season, I’m mostly looking forward to seeing what Yuki Tsunoda can do in the circuit he has done many practice laps in. He already impressed everyone in Bahrain, so he can even…
Welcome to 2021 F1 season! Despite COVID-19 and all the implications it has had to all of us, F1 circus will be traveling around the globe, starting from Bahrain this weekend. The rules, and therefore the cars, have not changed significantly from 2020 so don’t expect any big surprises there. What has changed are the driver line-ups! My personal biggest excitement is Alonso returning to F1 with the team he won his two world championships. Although the team has been…

Yas Marina circuit will be hosting the final race of 2020 this weekend. Both championships have been decided but the battle for the 3rd place on the constructors championship is still under contention from Racing Point, McLaren and Renault. While Russell gave a splendid performance in Sakhir last week, Bottas was admittedly under-performing. In any case, Hamilton will be back in his car for the last race of the season.
Everyone has watched numerous replays of Grosjean’s shocking accident in the previous race. He crashed with an estimated speed of 221km/h and withstood an impact of 53G! In the past decades, we would me mourning yet another victim but Romain managed to escape from the wreckage and get out of the car himself thanks to the modern F1 technology and halo. Apart from that, Lewis Hamilton, who won the last race, was tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t be taking…
Both championships may have been decided with three races to spare, since Lewis Hamilton became F1 world champion for the 7th time in Turkey, but the battle for the 4th position in the driver standings and for the 3rd in the constructors standings is truly on! Given Ferrari’s resurgence in the last few races, I would expect them to be fighting for a podium in this race. A race that Leclerc lost last year due to an engine cylinder issue.
