GP of Monaco

Just Mercedes Another 1-2 victory for Mercedes, even at the GP of Monaco. It is very boring indeed! Fortunately there are no team orders, so we will have to wait to find out which driver will become champion. Magnificent result for Marussia. Bianchi scored the first two points for the team, since it started competing back in 2010. Bad news for Fernandes, the team manager or Caterham, who hasn't scored any points at all since 2010. The Malaysian is thinking to sell his team....

The legend of F1

It's been 20 years since the day a legend died. May 1st 1994, Ayrton Senna, one of the best drivers in F1 of his time (and of all times), lost his life when he drove straight into the wall, at the Grand Prix of San Marino, under unexplained conditions. Unfortunately during that weekend, he was not the only one to lose his life. Just one day earlier, the Austrian driver Ronald Ratzenberger also died in a car accident at the very same track... The death of the Brazilian 3 times champion caused sadness throughout the world. The football players of the national team of Brazil dedicated the world cup they won that summer to him. Since that day a lot has changed in Formula 1. The regulations have been altered many times and although modern cars are faster than those of the past, they are also safer.
