MAX IS ON THE HUNT!
Max has now scored as many points as both McLaren's combined since the summer break. He is dominating the field since he has come back from the summer break and did so again in Austin with him leading the race from start to end. He is a dominant force currently and is only 40 points behind the championship leader, Oscar Piastri now. Similarly, for the first time in a long time Yuki Tsunoda seems to have hit the ground running with him finally scoring points in the race with him finishing P7. Overall, a good weekend for Red Bull where they scored some solid points. 

As for McLaren, even though they have won the constructor's championship, they are no where near of being assured that they will win the driver's championship with either of their driver. They could only manage P2 and P5 at best and did not even looker much quicker than a Ferrari. Lando barely got the P2 in the end when he made a superb lunge on Charles Leclerc in the closing stages of the race. As for Oscar he just did not have any pace. Overall, it is a tense time at McLaren as both their drivers are under threat from Max Verstappen. 

For Ferrari, they have just been doing better race on race since the summer break. This race too they managed to get P3 and P4 which is a very good result for them considering their previous run of form. Charles Leclerc put up a masterclass of defense where he did not let Lando in a faster car progress past him and held him up till the ending stages of the race. As for Lewis he was having a lonely race until in the end he got a puncture in his tire due to which he was almost overtaken by Oscar. Overall, a good weekend for Ferrari. They would like to build forward with this momentum.

 As for Mercedes not a good weekend at all, with George Russell finishing in P6, doing the most he could. On the other hand, Kimi was not even in the points, finishing in P13 due to collision with Carlos. Not a good weekend for Mercedes, one they would like to forget. 

Next on, Kick Sauber... Nico Hulkenberg scored his first points since Silverstone. But on the other hand, Gabriel could only finish P18. A decent weekend for Sauber, one they will take some good take aways from. 

As for Racing Bulls, they did not do as much as they would have liked. They could only manage P11 and P16 which is not good enough for them considering how close the midfield is this year.

For Haas and Aston Martin it was a decent race with Ollie finishing P9 and Alonso P10, both scoring point for their team. On the other hand, Esteban and Lance could only manage P15 and P12 respectively. 

As for Williams, a race to forget. Alex only managed P14 and Carlos did not finish to collision with Kimi at the initial stages of the race. 

Lastly, Alpine. They were slow as always managing only P17 and P19. 

A good race which brings Max even closer to the championship lead. Can he make the biggest comeback in history of F1? Only time will tell....

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...

Papayas On Top!

  CHINESE GRAND PRIX 2025 photo credit: theguardian.com Just a chill guy! Oscar Piastri wins the second round of the F1 calendar which makes it 2/2 won for McLaren this season. He led the race from start to end showing how utter dominant the car is with him and Lando being miles ahead of the pack for most of the race.  Lando Norris finished 2nd to complete the 50th 1-2 finish for McLaren as a constructor. But the win was not without some issues. Lando in the closing stage of the race faced an issue, with his brake pedal going long which was quite detrimental which made him lose immense amount of time and at the end he only finished 1.5 seconds ahead of George Russell losing almost 5 seconds to him on the last lap itself.  Overall, McLaren were the fastest car throughout the race, miles ahead of their competition.  Ferrari were the other talking point of the race. Throughout the race they lacked pace with Hamilton not being able to keep up with his teammate who lacked...

THE CROWN JEWEL!!

  MONACO GRAND PRIX 2025 photo credit: motorsport.com LANDO is back!!! Lando Norris has proved all the haters wrong!! He won the Monaco Grand Prix. Norris has shown everyone that he is not playing second fiddle to Oscar, he is here to win the championship. He put out a brilliant lap in qualifying ahead of the Monegasque, Charles Leclerc on his second run on the same tire to take pole. As it is known in Monaco, if a driver gets pole, they are likely to win and that's what happened. There was pressure on him throughout the race by Charles but he was just fast enough to keep Charles behind and win in the end, which is what matters.  Currently  Norris is only 3 points behind Oscar, so there is a possibility that he might lead the championship at the end of the next race. Overall, a very good result  for McLaren with them finishing P1 and P3, taking away 40 points. Honestly, this was the maximum Oscar could do as Charles was just flying throughout the weekend so P3 was th...
