GP of Monaco

Own goal from Hamilton's team

Hamilton was heading for his fourth victory this year, but a misjudgement by his team forced him to finish third.

14 laps were remaining, when rookie Verstappen -after a few unfair passes- was trying to pass Grosjean, but hit the French and crashed into the barriers. Hamilton's team called him into the pits for a tire change, just to be on the safe side, while the safety car was deployed. They thought there was enough time for him to return to track in front of his rivals. But there wasn't... Hamilton is still leading the championship, but he lost a great opportunity to win the most prestigious GP of the calendar and extend his lead.

Surprisingly, Ricciardo was not penalized for hitting Raikkonen in order to pass him, whereas when Alonso did something similar, was given a five second penalty. Strong appearance from Sainz, who started last and finished 10th. Some improvement for McLaren, with Button finishing 8th. But it's not clear if that result was because of the unique characteristics of this race...

Η ορολογία στη F1

Όσο απόμακρος και αν φαίνεται ο κόσμος της Formula 1 από την ελληνική πραγματικότητα, έχει κάτι πολύ οικείο και αυτό δεν είναι άλλο από την ορολογία που χρησιμοποιείται. Όπως είναι γνωστό, για να περιγράψει κάποιος έναν αγώνα ποδοσφαίρου ή καλαθοσφαίρισης πρέπει να αναφέρει αρκετές ξένες λέξεις. Στην περίπτωση της Formula 1, χρησιμοποιούνται επίσης πολλές ξένες λέξεις, αλλά το πλήθος τους είναι συγκρίσιμο με το αντίστοιχο πλήθος των όρων των δύο δημοφιλέστερων αθλημάτων στην Ελλάδα. Μάλιστα υπό κάποιες συνθήκες, μπορεί ο αριθμός των ξένων ορολογιών της κορυφαίας μορφής μηχανοκίνητου αθλητισμού να είναι μικρότερος. Αρχικά να αναφέρουμε μερικές από τις κοινές λέξεις που χρησιμοποιούνται κατά κόρον και στο ποδόσφαιρο και στην καλαθοσφαίριση (που συνήθως αποκαλείται μπάσκετ ): φάουλ, άουτ, πάσα, μπάλα, ασίστ, σκορ, σουτ, ντέρμπι, ματς, ρεβάνς. Σε αυτές προστίθενται, όσον αφορά το ποδόσφαιρο, οι εξής πολύ συχνές: γκολ, τάκλιν, γκελ, οφσάιντ, πέναλτι, πλασέ, μπακ, χαφ, φάλτσο και φυσι

ChineseGP

This time Hamilton was not lucky, he won fair and square. He started from second place, but at the first corner was already in front of his teammate and pole man, Bottas, who held back Vettel. After that, the champion never looked back and comfortably won the 1000th GP of F1! It was an uneventful race, apart from the incident of the first lap, involving Kvyat, Norris and Sainz. The Russian hit the two McLarens, forcing them to drop down to the last places, while he was penalized with a drive through. On the other hand, Ferrari for once again gave team team orders to Leclerc, forcing him to let Vettel pass and ruining his race. At the Scuderia they haven't realized that they have a better chance at the constructors' championship if they let Leclerc do his job. Before they even know, Mercedes has almost double points already... Race results: Driver Team 1 Hamilton Mercedes 2 Bottas Mercedes 3 Vettel Fer

Santiago ePrix

Sam Bird was the winner of the 2019 Antofagasta Minerals Santiago Eprix, after having started from 4th place. Tough race for pole-man, Sebastian Buemi who did not finish the race, whereas the championship leader, finished just 8th. Those 4 points were enough to keep d'Ambrosio on top of the table, while Bird is just on point off.
