GP of Abu Dhabi

HAMILTON world champion for the 2nd time It was a bad race all the way for Rosberg. Although he had pole position, he didn't start good enough and Hamilton passed him. Then, a mechanical problem kept him from pushing the car to the limits and eventually finished without scoring any points.

GP of Brazil

Rosberg is back After the winning spree of Hamilton, Rosberg made a solid performance this weekend and won almost everything. The German claimed his first victory since the German GP, back in July. Hamilton had to settle with second place (who also set the fastest lap of the race), but that's not too bad because he has 17 points more than Rosberg. So, if he finishes second at Abu Dhabi, he will be Champion.

GP of USA

One race closer to the title After his tenth victory this year, Hamilton has gained a 24 point lead over Rosberg. That means he can finish second in the last two races and win the championship. Best of the rest was Ricciardo and the two Williams had another great result.

GP of Russia

1st Constructors' Championship for Mercedes! Fourth victory in a row for Hamilton, at the very first GP of Russia. Rosberg, despite being forced to pit early and drive almost the whole race with the same set of tyres, finished second. That was the ninth 1-2 for Mercedes this year, which secured the 1st ever Constructors' Championship for the "Silver Arrows" Race Results 1 Hamilton Mercedes 2 Rosberg Mercedes 3 Bottas Williams 4 Button McLaren 5 Magnussen McLaren 6 Alonso Ferrari 7 Ricciardo Red Bull 8 Vettel Red Bull 9 Raikkonen Ferrari 10 Perez Force India Fastest men FP1 Rosberg FP2 Hamilton FP3 Hamilton QP Hamilton Race Bottas Standings after the race Drivers' Championship Pos Driver Points 1 Hamilton 291 2 Rosberg 274 3 Ricciardo 199 4 Bottas 145 5 Vettel 143 6 Alonso 141 7 Button 94 8 Hulkenberg 76 9 Massa 71...

GP of Japan

Dangerous race The race of Japan ended earlier, because of a horrible accident. Bianchi lost the control of his Marussia and crashed into a crane which was removing Sutil's car (who also had lost the control and crashed into the barriers). Unfortunately Bianchi was hurt so they had to take him to the hospital. At the time these lines were written no announcements were made about his health...

GP of Singapore

50% success That was Hamilton's 7th victory, out of 14 races so far and that put him on top of the standings. Of course he took advantage of his team mate's DNF! Red Bull made a strong appearance with both cars finishing on the podium. Alonso, as always, got the best out of a bad car. On the other hand, Button failed to finish and Magnussen was just 10th and now McLaren has dropped behind Force India at the Constructors' Championship.

GP of Italy

Mercedes POWER Hamilton won the italian grand prix despite his awful start. Rosberg finished second, but that is good enough for him, as he is still leading the championship by 22 points over Hamilton. We knew that Ferrari has a bad car this year, but their home race was the worst. Alonso retired in the middle of the race and Raikkonen was just ninth. On the contrary, the drivers of Williams did a great job, finishing 3rd and 4th and now the team stands in 3rd place at the Constructors' Championship, over Ferrari. Ricciardo shined again, when he brilliantly passed Perez and Vettel to claim 5th position. Kvyat made the move of the day, when he didn't brake for the first turn and drove sideways on the grass in order to control the car and to return to track. The drivers McLaren fought again with Force India's Perez for 7th place. Magnussen was given another penalty and Button failed to pass the Mexican. Hence, the two teams are now separated by 1 point (110 for McLare...
