Lewis Hamilton Drops in the 2018 F1 Driver Standings

Giancarlo Perlas June 11, 2018

Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes AMG Petronas only finished fifth on the recent Formula One Canadian Grand Prix while his partner Valtteri Bottas got the second place. Sebastian Vettel of Scuderia Ferrari took the lead going to the finish line in the event. As a result, the leading driver of the reds had overtaken the Silver Arrows’ lead driver by merely one point in the F1 Driver Standings. The failure of Hamilton to win in Montreal was caused by an overheating in the engine when his team decided to use an old power unit. The upgraded engine was set aside due to reliability concerns. The issue sprouted intermittent losses of power… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos October 8, 2017

Lewis Hamilton won a relatively tightly contested race at the 2017 Japanese GP, with the challenge coming from an unexpected source. With Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel having issues with his car, and eventually needing to retire, the coast was clear for Hamilton – but Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was not going to just hand the victory to the Brit. Hamilton had to keep Verstappen at bay for a while, and this led to some tyre management issues later on. Still, the points leader managed to pull through with the win. Thanks to the race win and Vettel’s retirement, Hamilton was able to extend his lead in the championship race to 39… Continue Reading »

Nico Rosberg is back on his winning ways. The German bagged the victory in the recently concluded Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton Might Lose 20 Grid Places in Belgium Race

Giancarlo Perlas August 24, 2016

Lewis Hamilton is in danger of losing his score-advantage over his teammate Nico Rosberg this Sunday’s Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. The reigning F1 world champion will likely suffer at least a 20-grid penalty in the race. According to BBC, Hamilton already exceeded the use of some of his allowable engine tokens for the season. Due to the continuous engine-related woes he has been encountering, new components have to be installed in his Silver Arrow’s power unit. The source said F1 drivers are only allowed to use a maximum of five out of the six parts of an engine. Going beyond that would mean a grid penalty. So far, Hamilton used up… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos April 3, 2016

Nico Rosberg has now won five straight GPs, including the first two in the 2016 Formula One season. The Mercedes driver took the chequered flag comfortably, with a 10-second lead over second-placer Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari. Meanwhile, defending champion took the final podium slot 20 seconds behind the red car. As Rosberg had predicted, Hamilton was not really able to capitalize on his pole position. He dropped all the way to P9 after getting tangled with the Williams of Valtteri Bottas right on turn 1. While he fought valiantly to recover enough and get third, the damage was too much to overcome and Rosberg coasted all the way to the race win…. Continue Reading »
