This weekend we're back at it again with F1. From the last race
in Russia, the moving trend is Nico Rosberg with lady luck on his side
and growing confidence, looking faster than ever, and Hamilton and
Vettel not being so lucky, Vettel even more so. Ferrari is fast, but Red
Bull is looking like their competing for 2nd in the manufacturers
championship despite the slow breakup with Renault. Renault is looking
good with young Magnussen. Kvyat seems to be drawn to Vettel's car, no
matter where it is on the track. McLaren is looking solid despite
needing to overhaul its entire powerplant in the coming offseason. Good
news is their scoring points. The Haas boys are still duking it out
mid-pack despite not being able to have both cars succeed at the same
time very often; Grosjean is carrying the flag here. Folks were caught
out trying to use the mediums to run to the end in during the early
safety car lap, the track was much smoother than anticipated and getting
a grip was name of the game. After the smoke cleared, the podium had
Rosberg, a not so pleased Hamilton who started from 7th and stayed out
of trouble and a chattier than typical Raikkonen. Rosberg's lead is
bigger than he's ever had it in the hybrid F1 era, so this will likely
be his best chance for the driver's title. The standings are as follows:
Rosberg, Hamilton (-43), Raikkonen (-57), Ricciardo (-64), Vettel
(-67), Massa (-68). This weekend in Spain should be a good one, with
Alonso looking for a good showing in front of his home fans, Hamilton
looking to make up ground and take his first victory of the season,
Rosberg looking to keep the good times rolling, Vettel looking to break
his streak of bad luck and Ricciardo looking to see what the full
potential of the Red Bull is this season.
