Lando is back!!
He drove an utterly dominant race while making no mistakes and finished 10 seconds in front of his next rival in P2 and miles ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri who is even his championship rival. On the other hand, Oscar Piastri seems to have lost his pace since summer break with Max and Lando having made a comeback and homing in points on him race after race. Overall, a decent result for McLaren as a team.

A brilliant week for young Kimi Antonelli to finish P2 in the sprint and the race, a marvel of a drive. He did not put a foot wrong and fended off the likes of Max Verstappen. On the other hand, his teammate George Russell finished P4, a very strong result which fortifies his P4 in the driver championship. One of the better weekends for Mercedes where they were there with the pace of McLaren and ready to challenge the title rivals in this case. 

For Red Bull as a team, well again it was just Max performing with him getting the P3, the most he could with his car this weekend. On the other hand, Yuki as always last of all runners, just dreadfully slow. As for Red Bull, it was not the weekend they wanted and would like to come back better next race on. 

As for Ferrari, it was again like China and Zandvoort . As for Charles Leclerc, he was caught out due to contact between Antonelli and Piastri, ruining a very good race for him, possibly a podium. As for Lewis, the underbody damage was so severe that he was losing time continuously every lap, so in the end they had to retire him. A terrible weekend for Ferrari who can see the P2 in the championship slipping away. 

As for Oliver Bearman, he is on some another level right now with him getting a P6 finish. Just utter brilliant driving from the young brit who is now beating his teammate quite regularly. As for his teammate, Esteban, he was just outside the points in P12. For Haas as a team it was a good weekend, with a good points haul by Ollie. 

The racing bulls were the best team in the midfield by far this race with both of them in the points in P7 and P8, scoring well deserved and needed points for the team. Just sublime driving by both Liam and Isack. 

Nico Hulkenberg finished in P9 scoring a point after so long for his Sauber team. Whereas, his teammate Gabriel Bortoleto did not finish both the race and sprint in his first ever home grand prix, a sad sight for him and his fans. Sauber will wish to have better weekends as they end the season, where they have made some good improvements.

Pierre Gasly somehow managed to push the Alpine car way beyond its limits and ended in the points, getting a point for that Alpine team after a very long draught of points. As for Franco, his luck was not just there and he could not score points again. Alpine just have been dreadfully slow all season and well they are letting this season go completely now.

As for Williams they did not have luck nor pace and Aston just lacked raw pace. In the end both teams did not bag a single point. 

Sao Paolo like always produced a banger of a race and well made Lando inch closer to his championship goal with Max also catching. Next on F1 heads to the sin city, Las Vegas. Who will win... 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...
