GP of Russia - Race

100% success 4x4 for Rosberg, who seems unstoppable this year. His teammate managed to finish 2nd, after starting just 10th. Vettel had to retire right from the beginning, because of an accident caused by Kvyat (ironically). At last a good race for McLaren with both drivers finishing at the top ten.

GP of China - Race

Hat trick Rosberg won his third consecutive race this year. No driver had the chance to challenge him. Vettel, who finished second, was frustrated with Kvyat (3rd). He accused the young driver that his move on the inside of the first corner, forced him to collide with his team mate, Raikkonen.

GP of Bahrain - Race

Rosberg for the title Although it's a bit early, Rosberg is already aiming for the title, after winning the second race of the season. But the big star so far is Grosjean, who finished 5th. Huge disaster for Vettel whose engine blew up during the formation lap. First point for McLaren, but from the reserve driver, rookie Stoffel Vandoorne!

Rosberg's turn Rosberg passed pole-man Hamilton at the very first corner and won the Austrian grand prix.

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...

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 Germany

Victory on home soil, part 2 Rosberg took his revenge, by winning the German GP. His rival, Hamilton, after starting from 20th place because of an accident during Qualifying, finished third (!), minimizing the "damage". The Germans must be the most happy fans: World Championship in Football, a German driving a Mercedes, won the German GP and is leading the championship, by 14 points.

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....

GP Great Britain

Burning rubber Ο Rosberg νικητής μετά από έναν αγώνα με αρκετά συμβάντα Στην εκκίνηση, ο 3 ος Vettel κατάφερε εύκολα να περάσει τον Rosberg και να βρεθεί πίσω από τον pole man, Hamilton. Με τον Alonso αρκετά πίσω, ο γερμανός πρωταθλητής έβλεπε να εξελίσσεται θετικά ο αγώνας. Ειδικά όταν είδε ότι το πίσω αριστερό ελαστικό του Hamilton (όπως συνέβη στον ίδιο γύρο και στον Massa), τότε όλα έδειχναν να είναι με το μέρος του! Όμως το κιβώτιο της Red Bull είχε αντίθετη άποψη, αναγκάζοντάς τον να σταματήσει στην άκρη της πίστας και δίνοντας την πρωτοπορία στον Rosberg, που την κράτησε μέχρι να δει την καρό σημαία. Η εκπληκτική εκκίνηση του Massa, όπου κέρδισε πολλές θέσεις, πήγε χαμένη αφού έσκασε το πίσω αριστερό ελαστικό του. Παρ' όλα αυτά κατάφερε να ανακάμψει και να βρεθεί στην 6 η θέση. Στον αντίποδα ο Webber που έκανε πολύ κακή εκκίνηση και είχε μία μικρή σύγκρουση, εκμεταλλεύτηκε όμως τις ατυχίες των Vettel, Hamilton και Massa για να τερματίσει 2 ος . Στο τελευταίο σκα...

1-2-3 της Mercedes!

Μόνο μονοθέσια κινούμενα από μοτέρ της γερμανικής εταιρείας συμπλήρωσαν το σημερινό βάθρο, αποδεικνύοντας έμπρακτα την υπεροχή των ομάδων της Mercedes και της McLaren σε αυτόν τον αγώνα. Τα πράγματα για την ομάδα της Mercedes θα ήταν ακόμα καλύτερα, αν δεν είχε ένα λάθος στο πιτ στοπ του Schumacher, όταν δεν τοποθετήθηκε σωστά ο μπροστινός δεξής τροχός, πράγμα που ανάγκασε στον γερμανό να εγκαταλείψει. Αλλά και έτσι, η Mercedes κατάφερε να κατακτήσει μία νίκη μετά το πολύ μακρινό 1955! Μάλιστα αυτή η νίκη του Rosberg, ήταν η πρώτη της καριέρας του, στο 111 ο GP που πήρε μέρος. Κατά τα άλλα, έχουμε δύο οδηγούς που έχουν επιδείξει χαρακτηριστική σταθερότητα στους τερματισμούς τους. Ο λόγος είναι για τον Hamilton που έχει τερματίσει και στους 3 αγώνες τρίτος, αλλά και για τον Webber, που ήταν και στους τρεις αγώνες, μία θέση πιο πίσω. Βέβαια αυτή η σταθερή παρουσία του βρετανού στο βάθρου, τον έχει αποζημιώσει με την πρωτοπορία στο πρωτάθλημα οδηγών. Πίσω από τον Webber τερμάτισε ο ...
