GP of Great Britain

Mixed conditions... and feelings

The drivers of Williams made a brilliant start and took by surprise the drivers of Mercedes. Massa and Bottas qualified in positions 3 and 4, but they were first and second respectively during the first stint. Hamilton was the first to stop for a tire change and after that he had no one in front of him, so he could pick up the pace. The strategy was successful and the Briton was the leader, after the first round of pit stops.

The victory was gone for Williams, but more drama was on the way. Rain started at the last stint and Rosberg drove fearlessly and passed both Massa and Bottas. With the rain getting stronger, all drivers switched to Intermediates. Under those conditions, Vettel had a good pace and passed the drivers of Williams, to claim third place.

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.
