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.

Can Vettel Challenge the Merc's this Time ?

Vettel Blasting past both the Merc's and taking the Lead

The Start of Formula one 2016 has been Great as all of the Petrol heads were expecting the Silver Arrows to Just dominate the Australian Grand Prix and take the Win but it didn't go that way as One man fought hard all the way and gave them a real run for the money and that Man was none other than the Great 4-Time World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
As Hamilton took pole at the Australian GP and Merc's Locked the Front row as usual, Everyone expected them to just leave everyone in the dust but all it went Opposite as Vettel got a Brilliant Start and overtook both the Merc's at the start and lead all the way until the race was red flagged the reason being Fernando Alonso's Horrific crash which could've taken his life but thankfully that crash lost against Alonso as nothing happened to him.  
Starting the race again Vettel led all the way again until Ferrari with their usual Strategy which doesn't work when the Drivers are in a Race Winning position and due to which Vettel dropped back to third and then Merc's were Handed a non-deserving 1-2 Finish and Rosberg Won from Hamilton which was well deserved.

Vettel is known for controlling the race from the Start

Coming on the Next round in Bahrain where Vettel thought he could challenge Hamilton and Rosberg for the Win and he had the pace to do that but this time he was let down due to a major reliability issue as his car broke down on the formation lap and due to which he had to retire which was a shame as he could've got a Brilliant start the way he got in Australia and then control the race but sometimes "It doesn't rain but it pours" as for the Second time Vettel couldn't get into striking distance to challenge the front-runners and the weirdest part is that it was not him that was slow but it was the Car and the Team that were not able to Handle the Intensity and Pressure which led to their change of fortunes.

Next we have the Chinese GP where Vettel is strong as we all saw him Fighting with Hamilton for 3rd place by cutting out 14 seconds in an Unbelievable 4 laps to finish just 2-tenths behind Hamilton at the 2013 Chinese Grand Prix.
All this is more than enough to judge Vettel's capabilities but will he be able to beat the Merc's as everyone is unaware of what Ferrari are gonna do next but all we can say is that Vettel is a man on a Mission and that is to break the Unwanted Dominance of Mercedes.
We hope he does that in the coming few races as everyone wants a massive Dog-fight for the Championship rather than just a Two-Horse race where there are only Two horses who are racing between each other.

Mercedes Sandbagging as always

This year's Pre-season testing has seen a lot of new faces and a lot of interesting things like the Haas F1 team, The Renault team and may more but the primary concern at the moment is the Performance of these teams in testing, in short the 4 days of Free-practice(yes it is ) and what a lot of people have learned is that now it's not about showing and flaunting their Strengths, it's about hiding what you have and then giving your opponents a mental blow by showing your true Strengths when the right time comes.
This kind of Clever thinking is being approached by the Silver-Arrows(Mercedes-Benz) at the moment and the Prancing horses(Ferrari) are somewhat copying them which leaves 2 questions marks for them and they are that

• What are your true times ?
• Why are you guys Sandbagging ?

So after all this Hide-n-seek game, the main concern is about the "Big elephant in the house" and that's Mercedes Dominance that has been there over the past 2 years and given the fact that it's so huge that no matter what other teams did, they were not able to get within striking distances to attack and sometimes the next best teams were 20+ seconds behind the Silver Arrows.
Sounds Impressive ? yes it is Indeed but it is more boring than Impressive and when Impressive<Boring, it means that things need to change which Implies that Someone needs to challenge The Silver-Arrows and at the Moment it's hard to Judge coz no one knows who's the fastest as the Pre-season testing has been like a Roller-Coaster ride where we get something new and shocking on every level.
Speaking about this 4-day Roller coaster ride, we saw

• Mclaren getting some crucial laps on their Size-Zero F1 car (they call it that ) a.k.a Mp4-31
• Haas F1 team getting more than 200 laps done which was way Impressive than what we thought as it were their first 4 days as an F1 team
• Nico Hulkenberg(yes.....don't confuse him with Nico Rosberg) Topping the Time-sheets on Day-3 with the tie which was way faster than anyone else
• Sebastian Vettel posting the Quickest times of the Entire Pre-season testing

All this shows a bag full of surprises as one hand Force India is so Quick, on the other hand Ferrari's are so quick and everyone is Impressing by their performances but where the hell is Mercedes in all this Drama ? Are they slow ? or are they hiding something in their bags.The other one seems more beleivable as we all know that they're not gonna be slow by any means but what we don't know is that How quick they'll be as compared to others ?
Well we'll get some of our answers tommorow as the second test will start.
Till then all we can do is pray to God for making the Mercedes-Benz slower and Mclaren-Honda faster(It'll be interesting).
