The last race of the year and boy, how boring was that?! It's not the season finale I expected. I thought everyone would just go wildcard, every man for themselves kinda tactics. But maybe I'm still holding onto the 2021 final. That was unreal... I can't help but feel like Ferrari lost themselves second in the constructors championship by not pitting Carlos for his final stop sooner. They left it way too late and he ran out of time to claw back his positions lost under the pit. Then, poor Charles, not only was he racing for the team but he was doing his own strategy as well! Really feels like in that moment he made one of the best d...

Poor Carlos! After a manhole on the track damaged his car, the team had to install a new power unit to replace the broken one, which then brought down the forever inconsistent arm of the FIA law. He was given a ten place grid penalty for this repair, despite the circumstance in which in came about.  Obviously, as a Carlos fan, I was gutted. But I also know that Carlos drives best when he's angry. He started out of the points and ended well within them. But, oh my god, can we please talk about Lance Stroll for a hot minute?! He came 5th! He beat the 7 time World Champion, he beat his c...

  It's race week! Not just any race week, this time we hit the streets of Vegas for the first time since the early eighties. The first time in my life time. So, I know since this has been announced, it's been heavily criticised and people have been extremely vocal about how it's obviously a money grab race, with me included. However! I've been thinking... Now we have our drivers and constructors champions crowned and the season is nearly over, why not have a little bit of fun with a novelty race? Seriously, it could be like Rainbow Road in Mario Kart. Maybe we'll even get a blue shell on Max... There are a lot of concerns regarding a new track being introduced that is possibly one of the fastest on the calendar but these are the most elite drivers in the world! They know their limits, their cars and they get three practice sessions to familiarise themselves with the track before qualifying. We just have to hope that no mechanical failures bin any drivers into the wa...

Guys. I actually think that was my favourite race weekend of the last couple of months!  Yeah sure, Verstappen mostly dominated again but we had some wildcard moments, like Lance being P3 for qualifying and Lando managing to stay in DRS range with Verstappen for so long. The racing was also gripping as well, there was always a battle going on and I never found myself distracted by my phone or wanting it to be over so I could go to bed. Lando had possibly his strongest weekend so far this season, earning a pole position and 2 podiums. I really feel like he's taking the challenge to Verstappen. It's just a shame it's taken this long to get there but how promisi...
