Canadian Grand Prix

This was one of the most exciting starts to the race this season, I missed all the commentary before-hand because my dad has the remote, but oh well…. He then falls asleep during every race and expects me to tell him what happened. Anyway moving on, Verstappen got off to a good start by him gaining 3 places, whereas Vettel’s front wing got clipped meaning that he went down into 18th due to the pit stop. Carlos Sainz made a very dangerous manoeuvre; it caused Grosjean to hit Sainz who then goes into Massa.

By Lap 11 Verstappen was having a very good race, however, his engine cuts out meaning he had to retire. Then on lap 17 Magnussen was powering through up 10 places with new power unit elements. Lance Stroll was having a good race with several overtakes.

Later on Ocon goes of the track causing him to lose places, then a few laps later Fernando Alonso had ran out of fuel. This was an unsuccessful race for him after he had come back from the Indy 500. Vettel had shown some serious determination as he was up into 4th position, well done to him.

The race finishes with Hamilton in first, Mercedes 1 2, this was a first for Mercedes this season. Stroll also had his first points of the season hopefully there is more to come from him. Raikkonen was experiencing break problems but still managed to come 7th.

40 Years for Williams

It was 40 years ago today, when Williams entered an F1 race for the first time, it was driven by Patrick Neve at the Spanish GP. Sadly, Neve passed away back in March aged 67, he will never be forgotten for what he did for the motor sport industry. 114 race wins later and Williams are still going strong with some of the fastest pit stops recorded.

Is Vettel going to become a 5-time World Champion?

The battle between Vettel and Hamilton is growing, “I would love to have a close battle with Lewis” Vettel said.  He was a quadruple world champion with Red Bull, so can he make an impact for Ferrari as well? Hamilton has won 3 titles is this going to be the end of his world titles? Vettel is storming ahead of Hamilton after winning in Australia and Bahrain. Sochi is tomorrow and after qualifying Ferrari 1-2, could it be another win for Vettel?
