Charles Leclerc takes his second win of the season by winning at Ferrari's home, MONZA!! The temple of speed, produced a thriller of a race today with Ferrari alternating on the strategy from McLaren and winning. McLaren had started the race with a front row lockout looking to take consecutive wins today and build on the momentum from last week in Zandvoort. But Ferrari had different plans. Charles Leclerc had a great first lap, going from P4 to P2 by the end of lap one. At Variante della Roggia chicane, Oscar Piastri made an opportunistic move on Lando Norris, the pole sitter, which not only made him lose a place to his teammate, but also made him lose a place to Charles Leclerc which was a horrible situation for McLaren as they couldn't dictate the race anymore. Lando Norris pitted at the end of lap 14 and Charles pitted at the end of next lap to cover him off yet he got undercut by Norris and lost a place. At this point McLaren was looking to easily seize the win but Ferrari had other plans. At the second round of pit stops while both the McLaren boys pitted the Ferrari's did not, sticking to a one stop strategy opposite to the McLarens going for a two stop. At this point the McLaren boys still looked on course to defeat the Ferrari's, but the pace of the Ferrari under the hands of Charles Leclerc was phenomenal. He did a 38 lap stint on the hard tire and won from Oscar Piastri by 2.6 seconds. A close call at the end. A WIN that caught the WHOLE OF ITALY, the F1 COMMUNITY and the TIFOSI BY SUPRISE. 

Today the Mercedes and Red Bull cars just didn't have the pace of the Ferrari's or the McLaren's. Mercedes's race got further hindered when George Russell got front wing damage on lap 1 causing him to pit on lap 11 and change his front wing. But at the end of the day disappointing results for both teams. Red Bull finishing P6 and P8 after qualifying P7 and P8. Mercedes finishing P5 and P7 after qualifying P3 and P6. 

Alexander Albon finished P9 bringing the much needed two points for the Williams team. Franco Colapinto finished in P12, a good debut race for him. Yuki Tsunoda's race came to an early end when Nico Hulkenberg collided with him causing him to retire.

Even though Kevin Magnussen finished in P10, scoring a point despite having a 10 second time penalty, he has been handed a RACE BAN for Baku. as he raked up 12 penalty points which as per the FIA regulations results in a race ban.

At the end of the day we see that the gap in the constructors fight down to only 8 points between Red  Bull and McLaren. McLaren looks on course to leading the constructor title by the next race, unless and until Red Bull have a strong response to their performance.

Lord Perceval with this miracle has revived the hopes of Ferrari in the Constructors Championship by his amazing win at Ferrari's home soil for the second time in his career. Ferrari are now only 39 points behind Red Bull and 31 point behind McLaren bringing them right back into this fight for the Constructor Championship with 8 races to go.

AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX 2024 Photo Credit: irishtimes.com Oscar Piastri wins the Azerbaijan grand prix!! With Oscar's win today the McLaren team are back to winning ways again after the disappointment of losing the win to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc at Monza. With this McLaren are leading the Constructor's Championship! This is the first time the Red Bull team has lost the lead of the Constructor's Championship in over two years. Also, this is the first time the McLaren team are leading the Constructor Championship since 2014 Australian Grand Prix. It shows the turn of form by both teams and how McLaren are excelling in their performance. This was also seen by Lando Norris's performance who fought all the way from P15 to come home and finish in P4 at the end. While doing so, he overtook his championship contender Red Bull's Max Verstappen, even though Max started in P6. A brilliant recovery drive by Lando after yesterday's disastrous qualifying. The race was qui...

Aussie Dominance!!

BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2025 photo credit: sportstiger.com  The Aussie continues the Papaya Dominance!! Oscar Piastri takes his second win this season and that too in utter dominance from start to the end.  McLaren have been the car to beat all season long and Oscar has proved it again with taking the win, the pole and even the fastest lap. He was in control of the race front start to end and won by a massive gap of 15.5 seconds.  On the other hand Lando only could play second fiddle to his teammate by finishing the race in P3 under a second behind George Russell who took the second spot on that podium.  Lando had a bad qualifying session and hence had started P6 for the race. To add on to his difficulties he got a 5 second penalty for a false start when he rolled ahead of his pit box before even the 5 lights went out.  Overall Lando had a very eventful race with him making places at the start of the race and climbing to P3 but as the race went he just seemed to lack...
