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...

BahrainGP

What a pitty for Leclerc! The young and super fast driver of Ferrari deserved the victory. And he would have won if it wasn't for the failure of his engine. At least he made it to the podium, avoiding losing another spot from Verstappen, due to the safety car that was deployed because both drivers of Renault were forced to park their cars aside, after mechanical failures. The weekend seemed ideal for Ferrari, the drivers were dominating the practice sessions and  started from the front row. Leclerc set the fastest time in Qualifying, thus claiming his first pole position. Vettel was second, but made a better start when the red lights turned off. But had a faster pace than the German and managed to pass him. Vettel couldn't keep up with his team mate and couldn't get away from Hamilton. The champion, after the pit stops, was very close to his opponent and passed him on the outside! Vettel's misfortune hit him again, while without any contact the car spun off. As if...
