Rosberg Shines in Sochi

This weekend we arrive on to round four of the 2016 Formula One season in Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix and like always everyone was hoping for an Exciting race and we all got one as Mclaren-Honda scored their Double points finish and Fernando Alonso came 6th but it's Nico Rosberg who's been dominating everyone and at the moment he's looking unstoppable.


Nico Rosberg who's been trying to Win a world championship since three years and for the past 2 year he's been loosing to Hamilton just because he didn't have the raw pace and sheer aggressiveness to match Hamilton's form but this time it's all changed as the new Rosberg looks calm,determined and consistent as he's won all of the opening races this season and in doing so he wrote a new chapter in the History books by Winning Seven consecutive Grand Prix's and now sharing it with the Great Michael Schumacher who also did the same 12 years back.


Now all that's pretty Impressive and for Rosberg it's even more impressive coz nobody would've thought that a guy who lost twice in a row against Hamilton would be able to raise his game like this ? but sometimes some people learn from their downfall's just like the way Rosberg did as after loosing his title bid for the Second time, he's not been looking backwards as he didn't lost to Hamilton even once after the United States Grand Prix as he thought that "It's been more than Once and now twice ? now I need to show everyone what can I do" and he's certainly showed everyone what his true capabilities are and till now he has not even put a foot wrong and grabbed every Opportunity he got which is a quality of a Champion.

Now if we have a closeer look at the Russian Grand Prix, we get some interesting stuff at the first lap as there was some touching,hitting and eventually crashing(thanks to Daniil Kvyat) and in all that Lewis Hamilton was gifted 4-5 places as drivers like Ricciardo,Vettel and Kvyat had their Not-so-best moments which left Hamilton in 4th place and to be honest the only car he had to overtake was the Williams of Vallteri Bottas as Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari didn't have the pace and Felipe Massa made some Mistakes and then by lap 15 Hamilton was already in Second place and if he pushed a little bit more he would've challenged Rosberg but as always Rosberg was also sandbagging his laptimes and by the time Hamilton was cutting a second per lap, the leader was just lifting and coasting and in the closing stages Rosberg opened up the gap to a massive 25 seconds which is almost a Pit-stop ahead.

Lewis Hamilton on the other hand said after the race that he could've won easily if he didn't have those problems but as usual these are the words coming from him every time he looses to Rosberg which is bad news for his title charge as he now sits 43 points behind the Championship Leader.
There were brutal reversal of fortunes for Sebastian Vettel who was hit again by the person he called "Madman" at the Chinese GP and this time the worst part was that Vettel was hit twice by Daniil Kvyat who touched the rear of Vettel on the first corner then Crashed into him on the high speed Curve after turn one which ended Ferrari's chances of scoring a Double-Podium finish as it was evident that if Sebastian had that car running well, he would've been ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

The Other part of Ferrari Garage was quite happy as they atleast had a Podium Finish and Kimi Raikkonen took a solid Third and if we look at the ending part of the race closely, we get some awesome laps from the "Ice-man" Kimi Raikkonen as he was closing on to Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages which shows that Ferrari's are low on tyre degradation and if Vettel didn't had that Collision, he would've made it to 2nd place.

Meanwhile where Hamilton was fighting for 2nd place, it was Fernando Alonso who scored a brilliant 6th after recording his first points of the season considering the fact that his Mclaren is not even a Mid-field car and he started way back at P14 which is quite a good news for Mclaren as Jenson Button also scored his first points which clearly shows that Mclaren has improved Quite a lot and now they can consider on improving their race pace as the reliability has Improved Significantly.

Analyzing all the points,it looks that Rosberg's on Fire as he acheived first ever Grand Slam which means that the Driver has to Score Pole Position, lead every lap, set the fastest lap and the Win the race.
That reminds us of Vettel in his Red Bull days when he used to dominate everyone and now his German Compatriot is doing that as he's got all the tools at his disposal that'll help him in winning his Maiden World Chamionship and he's ready for it as well.

Six in a row for Rosberg

Formula one bounces back this Weekend as we all had one hell of a race to Watch, courtesy of the Mid-field Drama and Wheel-to-wheel action which all led to this Amazing Chinese Grand Prix.

Speaking of the race which was not only won but dominated by Rosberg as winning might be a small word for the person who controlled and Won by more than 30 Seconds ahead of the second placed man, Sebastian Vettel with Daniil Kvyat in a brilliant third after being involved in the first corner incident which created a war of words between Vettel and him in the Conference room.

Let's analyze the Start which was quite a bit of Shock as for the First time Daniel Ricciardo got the lead at the first corner and kept ahead until lap 2 before suffering a left-rear puncture which helped Rosberg in blitzing past him and then Controlling the race where as in the mean time when Ricciardo was jumping Rosberg at the start, there was a small  battle going on between the Red cars(Ferrari's) which led to a Collision as Daniil Kvyat got really opportunistic by boxing in between which resulted in Vettel bumping into his Team-mate.

At the back of the Field where Lewis Hamilton started, he was surely not having the best time of his career as after quite a decent start, he had to run back into the Pits to get a new front wing as starting from the back has its own weird and unwanted perks.

With almost all the top drivers loosing some part or the other of their cars courtesy to the first lap Drama, they all went into the Pits to get a replacement and in the meantime Rosberg was having a pretty comfortable lead as he was just cruising through the track with no one in the front as the only cars he had to overtake were the cars that were a lap behind him.

Driver of the day : Sebastian Vettel for Sure as after the first lap which resulted in a Collision with his team mate, he had pretty much a lot of things to do and there was a time when Vettel was on the super-soft tyres and he had to slice his way from 15th and he wrestled back and came back to 4th in a matter of Four laps which is More than Impressive as a lot of great drivers have Struggled in the past to do that which is a big slap on the faces of the people(Mostly Hamilton fans) that Vettel cannot overtake because that's not the case.

Looser of the day : Lewis Hamilton, unquestionably as after the start he had some contact with Felipe Nasr which took off his front wing and after the safety car he was constantly being rattled by Kimi Raikkonen and a lot of other Drivers and the World Champion was Quite not able to do a lot of things as other drivers like Raikkonen,Vettel and eve Ricciardo who had a lot of Misfortunes, produced a lot of Ballsy moves to get back in their Positions.
So all the People who say Lewis is the best, they need to re think as a lot of great drivers like Vettel,Ricciardo,Raikkonen are also at the same level but they are never given any Appreciation which is a shame.







Conclusion : Rosberg is in the Form of his life with Vettel Proving that he can Challenge the Mighty Merc's and Hamilton accepting that for the first time in his Career, Luck is not on his side.

Change of Fortunes for Hamilton

 
The reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton hasn't had the best of moments for Quite a few races now as starting from the race where he Won his 3rd Title, he has been consistently beaten by Rosberg and despite taking pole position in the first 2 races of the season, Hamilton was being overtaken by Rosberg right from the start as the German made some Brilliant off the line launches which always led to Hamilton fighting with the Ferrari's or Williams and it didn't quite go the way Hamilton wanted as both the times he got overtaken by almost 4-5 cars and then it took him 10 laps to get into a Podium scoring position.

This Weekend in China where Hamilton has been strong and another pole would've added some extra Motivation considering the first two races but this time the Fortunes started to taking a U-turn before the race even Started as Hamilton got hit by a 5-Place Grid penalty for changing the Gearbox which means that no matter what Position he scores, he'll be five places down the grid.

Now Hamilton who has been trailing Rosberg for the last 5 races in a row and hoping to score a win as Rosberg won the last 3 races of the 2015 Season and the first 2 of 2016 which makes him the Man to beat at China and a lot of People might not be knowing that Rosberg won his First ever race at the 2012 Chinese GP form Pole Position and was able to Dominate the race from his Current team-mate Lewis Hamilton who was at Mclaren then, by over 20 Seconds which Indicates that Winning now at the Chinese GP won't be a big Problem for Rosberg as he has learned how to Control a Race from Pole Position.

Analyzing all the possible Outcomes, it's very crucial for Hamilton's championship's hopes as he has been on the back foot since the Australian GP.

5 Reasons why Lorenzo should move to Ducati

The 2016 MotoGP Season started with the reigning World Champion Lorenzo starting his title defense strongly with a Dominant win in Qatar but since then a lot has been going around in the paddock about where he wants to be in the Future as Rossi has signed a 2-year contract with Yamaha which means he's gonna stay where he is but Lorenzo is keeping quiet about this as he hasn't renewed his contract which indicates that he's been thinking about his further options.

So here are the main reasons that why Lorenzo's move to Ducati shall be good for MotoGP and for Ducati as well.

1. He can Win with the Desmosedici Bike

   

   Lorenzo vs Dovizioso at Qatar 2016

   
   A lot of People in the Paddock knows Lorenzo's capability to produce maximum out of his bikes as he Overtook the Ducati's in Qatar which were way faster in a straight line than his bike but still he used his Extra-Ordinary skills and got past them.
   Evauluating all this, Lorenzo surely can surely Dominate MotoGP with Ducati as the GP15 and GP16's are faster but the riders are not the best as we saw in Qatar.
   
   
2. People will stop Questioning him
   Every Rossi fan(most of them) doesn't particularly like Lorenzo coz he's been winning against Rossi fair and square since he got in MotoGP on the same machines so it's no Surprise that Rossi fans don't like Lorenzo as Rossi was a 7-Time World Champion when Lorenzo got into  MotoGP but since then things started to go differently for Rossi as Lorenzo who was a 20-year old Rookie produced identical results and sometimes even further than what People expected from him.
   This time If Lorenzo goes to Ducati then it'll be the perfect answer to all the Anti-Lorenzo fans by which I mean Rossi fans that Lorenzo can do what Rossi never could, winning with Ducati.
   
3. Ducati will once again be back to Glory

   

   Casey Stoner won the World title for Ducati in 2007

   Ducati surely is one of the best and the most forward thinking Motorcycle Manufacturer in the world and they have an Illustrious History in WSBK racing but when it comes to MotoGP, only one world championship in 2007 didn't quite add to an Impressive CV given the fact that their Bikes have been competitive but they didn't had the Best riders who could bring the most out of those Machines like the way Stoner did in 2007 Winning 10 races and taking the Championship.
   So this time Lorenzo could create a completely new Environment with in the Team to help it in getting back at the Front just like the way Sebastian Vettel did with Ferrari in 2015.
   
4. It'll be the Perfect Answer to Rossi
   Valentino Rossi who has been Questioning that Lorenzo's Ducati move wouldn't be happening because "he needs balls to do that" and other negative stuff just because Rossi couldn't do anything with Ducati and given the fact that Rossi knows Lorenzo can win with Ducati, So by concluding all this, it'll be the Perfect answer to Rossi.
   
    
5. He'll be Appreciated by the Italians
   Ducati is an Italian Manufacturer and it's very Important that who is contributing in their Success as in the past a lot of Italian riders have ridden Ducati bikes and Failed Miserably but still they got appreciated as they were Italians and were getting Podiums taking an Italian bike which makes it even hard for the Italian fans not to Appreciate him as everyone knows that If Lorenzo wins with 2 bikes, it'll be the start of a new era as he'll be one of the few people who won with more than one Bike.
   
   
   
   These were the few reasons why Lorenzo's Ducati move shall be Great for MotoGP as it'll provide all the best riders on Different bikes.

Two Question marks for Lorenzo

The MotoGP reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo won the opening round of this year's MotoGP season in an Impressive yet Dominant fashion and it was no surprise that the World Champion is not gonna let anyone take his crown or even think about it but after the Argentinian GP things started to look quite different as the rider who was in a class of his own at Qatar got spun off after some laps in Argentina ?
Maybe its due to the new tyre change as Michelin withdrew both of its rear tyres in the wake of Improving safety as the tyre compounds were not proving to be the most reliable following Scott Redding's scary crash in Practice which led to this huge Re-Shuffling of the tyres which proved to be the most Unusual decisions in racing as the riders were given different compounds for Practice and Pole and suddenly they were not provided with the Same compound for the rear tyre in the race.
Following all this, everyone started scratching their head as no one was aware of which Bike or Rider will get the most out of these new tyres as in MotoGP every Rider has its own choice of Tyre compounds for Front as well as Rear and the Performance out of the tyres completely depends on the feel the Rider gets from them as it's not Formula one where a driver gets same tyres for all the 4-wheels and even if a Driver doesn't get the amount of feedback he expects, he can still push hard enough to Score some Positions but on the other hand in MotoGP, its simply the opposite  because when you start to push limits on a car you go wide whereas when yo start to push limits on a Bike, You simply crash and thats the main reason racing in MotoGP is considered as more Intense and Ballsy.
Coming to the Next race in America at COTA which is not considered as Lorenzo's territory instead it's Marquez who's been really strong there every year which leaves us all wondering
What will Lorenzo do to get back on Top of the Standings ? as this is very crucial for his World Championship charge.

Rosberg Finally upped his Game

Mercedes Superstar Nico Rosberg, the man who Finished runner up to Lewis Hamilton in 2014 and 2015 Formula one seasons didn't quite challenge or rattle Hamilton the way everyone wanted him to as Hamilton is known for his aggressive driving style whereas Rosberg is a pretty fast yet smoother driver of the two.
The first time Lewis Won his 2nd Title(2014), Nico was unable to fight as he had a car failure at the Final Race which led to his retirement and handed Hamilton the World title which was well deserved and from that Point onwards everyone started assuming that he's gonna be second fiddle to Lewis In every single Grand prix as Lewis walked away with another title at the US Grand Prix in 2015 and  that was the time Rosberg realized what he needs to do in order to break Hamilton's Winning streak.

Hamilton vs Rosberg at the 2014 Bahrain gp

As he showed everyone what he's been hiding in the bag for so long which is his new Dominating form as he's won each and every Grand Prix since Hamilton won his Championship which makes it 5 in a row for Rosberg and considering the Start of 2016, Rosberg has won both of the two races without even taking the pole position because previously everyone used to question his ability to Overtake Hamilton in the races as all the races he won were either from Pole position or any other factor and sometimes he was not even able to convert his poles into wins so by Judging all that, its an Amazing new Start for Rosberg.
We cannot completely say that all of this new form is just Rosberg's pace as Hamilton also had his own faults like Slow gateways or Bad starts off the line and lack of pace coz in the Australian Gp he was trailing Max Verstappen for like 7-8 laps and still wasn't able to overtake until Max went into the Pits for a tyre change.
Not enough Conclusions can be drawn at the moment but all we know is that Nico Rosberg is bouncing back and this time with an Extraordinary Race craft which we all wanted him to Improve on.

Casey Soner embarassing factory riders

The starting of the MotoGP testing 2016 saw a big surprise as the most-naturally talented MotoGP rider, Casey Stoner got on the Ducati GP16 bike but this time as a test rider which was of course the most shocking thing as the rider who can easily rattle Rossi,Marquez and Lorenzo is testing bikes for Ducati ? Yes but sadly it's the truth and  we all have to deal with it as Stoner made up his mind in 2012 to go to fishing instead of going racing as different people have not so usual opinions(sometimes weird) about a lot of things.
Everyone in the paddock must be laughing at the Ducati Factory team because even if we digest the fact that he's a test rider which is hard to believe but what we cannot  digest is that the lap times of Stoner around the Sepang Track during the Testing as they were faster than both the Ducati Factory riders(yes...you heard it right) which makes us think that why Stoner is not coming as a regular rider
as he's clearly shown that the bike has a lot of potential which is way more than what Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone are able to extract from the GP16.

Stoner in 2007

A situation like this is like having a $4000 guitar with strings of a $400 guitar as it won't play up to to the best level without them and that's the situation which is being faced by Ducati as Stoner is a serious competitor on that bike given that he didn't race for 3 long years and he has not tested any bike for the last 1 year, still he was able to go faster than the riders who were competing with the best last year and on some occasions they were able to be as fast as the best riders on that Ducati GP15.
All this brings us to only one Conclusion that Stoner can challenge the top riders if he comes as a regular rider in 2016 but in the mean time we can only ask that "Casey! Why you are not coming to racing instead of testing"
