MAX MAKING THE COMEBACK?

 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2025

Max lead the race comfortably from start to end with bare minimum challenge from any car after he took the lead from Lando in turn 1 after he out braked himself going deep. Just sensational driving with minimal effort. On the other hand, as always his teammate out of the points. 

As for McLaren, a terrible day, with both cars getting disqualified due to excess under-plank wear. Regardless of that it was not a good effort with Norris in P2 and Piastri in P4, especially after Norris starting on pole position. 

Mercedes, got the maximum points they could do McLaren retiring and Mercedes being just able to keep up with them throughout the race and even in the start George passing Norris for P2. Sublime pace from Mercedes, well ahead of their main rival, Ferrari. 

As for Ferrari, not where they would want to be with P4 and P8, losing further more points compared to their rivals for the constructors, Mercedes and Red Bull. They just lacked the pace and their drivers maximized the most they could.

As for Williams, sublime pace, all due to the low drag nature of the circuit. Carlos finished the race in P5 and sadly due to the contact with Lewis, Albon could not finish the race. Regardless, a good points haul for Williams.

Hulkenberg, did well for Kick Sauber, finishing P7, scoring points which would be graciously accepted. As for Bortoleto, he collided with Alonso down at turn 1 on lap 1, which led to a DNF.

Stroll also collided on lap 1 turn 1, resulting in a DNF and as for Alonso, regardless of the contact he finished in P11. Still not a good result for the Aston Martin team. 

Haas had a good result in the last home grand prix of the year with both their drivers in the points.
As for Alpine, they were the slowest of all runners as always.

Racing bulls got their much needed points from Hadjar finishing in P6, but a disappointing result in terms of Lawson down in P14.

Regardless, a good race. The championship fight will continue in the next race in Qatar.

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...

PURE DOMINANCE!!!

  SPANISH GRAND PRIX 2025 photo credit: outlookindia.com OSCAR PIASTRI WINS IN BARCELONAA!!! After Lando's Monaco win, Oscar Piastri answered back and that too in pure dominance leaving the whole pack behind and in some ways even his own teammate. He was a man on a mission... came into the weekend dominated qualifying, controlled the race and won without even breaking a sweat, the perfect way to answer back on Lando making inroads to his championship lead. In doing so, he has recorded the largest pole margin of the season which was over 2 tenths, just pure skill. Well for Lando, he just had to play second fiddle. He qualified 2nd and well to make things worse Max overtook him at the start but he overtook Max again a few laps later as the McLaren pace was other worldly... but bottling the start and losing the place to Max cost him time to Oscar which overall secured the win for Oscar as only Lando had the pace in the car to challenge him. Even on the safety car restart Lando was not...

NEVER COUNT HIM OUT!

  EMILIA-ROMAGNA GRAND PRIX 2025 photo credit: straittimes.com Never count the Dutchman out of it! Max Verstappen won the Emilia- Romagna grand prix in utter finesse and style dominating from turn one to the end of the race. Even though it was the McLaren boy Oscar Piastri who had pole position, Max Verstappen swooped around the outside of him into the lead of the race in turn 1 and after that he was never to be seen, continuing to march on his way to victory.  The McLaren boys were unlucky also as the VSC and the actual safety car both went against them, giving Max a even larger advantage. In the closing stages of the race Oscar was P2 behind Max and Lando was P3 behind Oscar, but the situation was such that Lando was on fresh tires and Oscar on 20 lap old ones, yet Lando was not let by. In the end, Max got an easy win but the fans got to see a spectacular battle between the papaya boys in which no doubt Lando came out on top with the given tyre advantage. Overall, good resul...
