Bottas cruises to Abu Dhabi GP win to close 2017 F1 season; Hamilton finishes 2nd

Valtteri Bottas had an anticlimactic win in an anticlimactic race, cruising comfortably from pole position to take the victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to close out the 2017 F1 season. The Finn had no problems closing this one out. Bottas finished 3.899 seconds ahead of teammate and champion Lewis Hamilton, who finished in second place. It was only the fourth 1-2 finish for Mercedes this season. t was also a much-needed victory for Bottas. He went through a relatively bad second half of the season that saw him post two retirements. He was renewed by the team for 2018, so it must be a good feeling to give the… Continue Reading »

Do You Want to Own a Mercedes-AMG Project One?

The Mercedes-AMG Project One is by far the pinnacle of the three-pointed star brand’s engineering. It had successfully integrated Formula One technology to a road-legal car. What we have seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show was just a concept version of the hypercar. So, its production model is still under development. However, one entry on a German market site Mobile.de is creating quite a buzz online because it just posted an ad to sell a Mercedes-AMG Project One. Earlier, Mercedes revealed that the Mercedes-AMG Project One costs €2,275,000. But the seller on the site posted an asking price of €4,510,100 for it. That is more than double than its manufacturer’s suggested retail price. The… Continue Reading »

Vettel takes pole at Mexican GP as Hamilton settles for P3

Lewis Hamilton isn’t going to get the smooth-sailing title-clinching run he likely hoped for before this weekend at the Mexican GP. The championship leader will have to start from the second row of the grid on Sunday, after Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel secured the 50th pole position of his career. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen had hoped he put in a good enough time to take pole and become the youngest pole-sitter in the history of the Mexican GP, but Vettel had other plans. The German driver will do his best in the last three races to complicate matters for Hamilton, who in turn is seeking his fourth career F1 title. Hamilton… Continue Reading »

Hamilton inches closer towards F1 title after US Grand Prix win

Lewis Hamilton won the 2018 US Grand Prix from pole position and put one foot in the door of his fourth F1 title. He is now 66 points ahead of title rival Sebastian Vettel, who is still in it from a mathematical perspective. But there are only three races left. That’s a max of 75 points if one can win all three. The chances of Hamilton letting this title go are really slim. In fact, the only way the title doesn’t get clinched in the next race is if Hamilton finishes sixth or lower while Vettel wins the race. Hamilton has not finished lower than second place in his last… Continue Reading »

Hamilton takes pole at 2018 US GP

Lewis Hamilton was able to secure pole position at the 2018 US GP, following a solid qualifying session that saw him post a time three-tenths of a second faster than rival Sebastian Vettel. Of course, getting pole by no means guarantees a win, and Vettel can still spoil the fun as long as he does not make any race-ending mistakes. Hamilton’s 1:33.108 was good for the new track record at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. It is his 11th pole this season, and the 72nd overall of his career. In addition, Hamilton moved to the top of the all-time front-row list with 117 total for his career. The… Continue Reading »

Valtteri Bottas Says He Understands Swap Decision At The Japanese GP

At the recently concluded Formula One Japanese Grand Prix, Mercedes AMG Petronas once again emerged victorious with Lewis Hamilton winning the race. Along the way, Valtteri Bottas was given a team order to move over for his teammate. However, he said he completely understood the decision of his group. Earlier, Bottas was slapped with a gearbox penalty so he was forced to run an alternative strategy based on a report from ESPN. He got the lead at some point in the race but after a pit stop, Hamilton was catching up with him. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was also charging at them, which added to the intensity of the situation….

Hamilton 2nd in Sepang as Verstappen wins Malaysian GP

Lewis Hamilton didn’t win the race, but it was kind of a win nonetheless. It was Max Verstappen who came home with the win at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Hamilton, however, still accomplished what he came to do–extend his lead over Sebastian Vettel in the championship race, with Hamilton finishing second in Sepang and Vettel down in fourth place. Vettel did manage to climb all the way to that spot from P19–an amazing feat no matter how you look at it–but you can rest assured this isn’t much of a consolation for the Ferrari driver. In addition, Ferrari lost Kimi Raikkonen to a turbo problem right before the race began…. Continue Reading »
