Well, it's time for the final race of the year in picturesque Abu Dhabi. A technical, flowing circuit that has been won by Merc quite a few times. Red Bull is getting faster and Ferrari is coming off a double DNF from what looked like an error on Seb's side of things. Albon is signed for next year to pair with Brazil race winner Max Verstappen and Gasly is signed for Toro Rosso next year. Gasly is coming off of an amazing 2nd place finish after some great pace and strategic pitstops, which is like a race win for Toro Rosso. Albon would've have a great finish in Brazil as well, but unfortunately an aggressive Hams late spun him during a pass attempt; his penalty put Sainz on the podium (first podium for McLaren in quite some time) and the Alfa Romeo duo of (the wiley) Raikkonen and Giovinazzi in 4th and 5th, respectively. So now folks are looking to finish on a high note -- Hulk still has no drive, there are no open seats for 2020, but he can look good for his next employer and a potential return in 2021. Ferrari is going to try salvaging driver teamwork heading into the winter and Bottas is going to try to get the stink of his Brazil DNF off of him with a good showing in Yas Marina. Finally, many teams are looking to get a jump on 2020 development. Tune in for the final action of 2019, it should be another solid race day.

Enjoy your holiday weekends and be safe on the roads.

F1 in Brazil this weekend. Hams is a six time champion, taking second at COTA. Bottas is showing his worth taking the checkered flag at COTA for his first time after taking pole. Verstappen took third and is calling out Ferrari for cheating after their pace disappeared post-clarification from the FIA. McLaren is looking strong heading into 2020. Renault is looking a bit more racey, getting ready for next year. The 2021 F1 regulations are firming up. The short and technical Interlagos circuit awaits us, it should be another interesting race.

Enjoy your Veterans Day Weekends.

Short week, but Mexico was a wild one. Montezuma's revenge ran through the pit, no pun intended as I experienced similar on my last trip to Mexico, Verstappen had some bad luck during Q3 that cost him the pole he earned, then he had to run about 70 laps on hards during the race after getting a puncture early, taking it to 6th. Albon had another solid drive, along with Valteri and Seb, and Leclerc, who ended up inheriting pole position ended up fourth after his two stop strategy ended up not panning out, given the hard tires were way more resilient than anyone expected. Hulk got torpedoed on the last turn of the last lap, by Kvyat, but with penalty he ended up taking 10th. Hams took the win, but is still 4pts away from sealing his 6th chip. Back to back and the USGP is this weekend, should be another exciting race late in the year. We may soon see the Driver's Championship decided.

Welp, things are pretty much sown up -- Merc AMG took their sixth consecutive Constructors Championship in a row, since the start of the turbo-hybrid era in 2014, as well as all six Drivers Championship's even though that hasn't officially been decided upon yet. Bottas took the win in Suzuka despite Ferrari still being the fastest and Red Bull Honda hoping that the new spec power upgrade was going to put them at the front. Hamilton took 3rd after team strategy betting on a one stop not being good by the end of the race; while he wasn't pleased with not topping Vettel for second or Bottas for first, he's another step close to taking his sixth championship -- it's between him and Bottas now. Merc is trying to claw back some performance from Ferrari heading into 2020, but time will tell if that'll be possible. In the meantime we're headed to Mexico; Leclerc is trying to take control of Ferrari, Vettel is trying to stay the clear number one, Mclaren is looking to finish strong and maintain fourth in the constructors take best of the rest, Albon is still interviewing for a job on the main Red Bull team for next year and Hulkenberg is still looking for a 2020 drive. This weekend should be another entertaining race; hopefully Perez can give him home fans some excitement to cheer for.

We're loaded this weekend with the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship race season finale at Road Atlanta this weekend, the Petit Le Mans, and the first of six remaining races in the F1 season. The last race in Russia shows you why Merc has a strangle hold on the Manufacturers and Driver's Championships this year -- consistent, even-keeled, strong performances. A signature Mercedes 1-2 finish, again, after Ferrari took pole (Leclerc's 4th) and looked to have even or better race pace during simulations. Ferrari had some bad luck with what appeared to be a kinetic component failure, on Vettel's car, while he was in the net lead of the gp. Leclerc's strategy was a little off when Vettel's DNF brought the virtual safety car out, Ferrari choosing to play the new tire game rather than sticking with track position given the low deg of the circuit. This turned out to be a 3rd place strategy as Merc, while not as fast as Ferrari, are fast enough to stay ahead of a Ferrari. Leclerc also learned what Webber learned back at Red Bull in terms of Vettel's mean streak, as he has a rich history of not sticking to team orders when it doesn't serve his own interests -- something just about every winning racing driver has, but the real issue is this occurring between teammates, at Ferrari, while Ferrari is trying to continue building momentum late this season after resolving its aerodynamic correlation issues. Leclerc seems to adjust to every challenge Plenty of DNFs this race, it wasn't just Seb (wishing the N/A V12s was the F1 powerplant again), it was also both Williams (albeit Russell with a front axel failure), Grosjean/Haas and Ricciardo/Renault. Meanwhile in the top ten, McLaren continues to be at the front of the mid-field with another double points finish, Hulkenberg takes the final point in 10th, Perez performs well again taking 7th and Albon comes from the last spot to finish behind Vertstappen in 5th, earning his keep after putting his car in a wall during Q1. With the race over the current driver standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-73), Leclerc (-107), Verstappen (-110), Vettel (-128),  Gasly (-253). Notables here are Leclerc taking over third (well ahead of Vettel) and Gasly still hanging on to 6th -- Albon or Sainz will likely take 6th sooner than later. This weekend the very technical Suzuka circuit should be another great showcase for where things have progressed across the field.

Enjoy your motorsport weekends.

Short and sweet this week -- Hamilton is in cruise control with another strong podium finish, Bottas is still sharp, but not sharper than Hams, Vettel had a better time in this Shell collaboration with Hammond and May than in the race, Renault can be fast in a straight line, but no one is as fast as Ferrari is in a straight line. Max had another bad weekend, but made lemonade on race day taking 8th, Giovinazzi took 9th in his home GP, Albon is settling into the RBR taking 6th. Norris took the last point which was good because the other McLaren blew a power unit. And finally, Leclerc is the new Ferrari number one, taking his second win in a row, a win in Monza in front of the tifosi and Ferrari management. He held off advances from Hamilton and Bottas, both on medium tires while he ran hards. This was a track that suited the Scuderia, but you still have to make it happen. With the checkered flag dropped, the Driver's Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-63), Verstappen (-99), Leclerc (-102), Vettel (-115),  Gasly (-219). This brings our season to Singapore, where downforce will come back into premium. Merc was no where close to Ferrari on the long straights of Monza, but managed to finish 2-3 against Ferrari's 1-13, which was a net 9pt gain in the constructors. This will also be an opportunity to see how good of a car Renault has developed; it's looked better in the last couple races, along with Racing Point for that matter. This weekend should be another exciting race, especially if Ferrari and Red Bull keep things interesting.

Enjoy your motorsport weekends.

It's a short week so no major recap, but in sadder news, the motorsport community lost a young racing driver named Anthoine Hubert last Saturday, racing under Renault's F2 junior team in his rookie season. He succumbed to injuries suffered during a bad accident which ended up ending the F2 race at Spa. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. On a more positive note, Leclerc gets his first victory in F1, dedicating his win to his friend Anthoine, just barely hanging on with Hamilton chasing him down late in the race with bad tires. Monza will be another exiting race weekend where Ferrari will be trying to claw their advantage over Red Bull back and improve their season result.

Enjoy your race weekends.

The final pre-summer break race in Hungary was another incredible race to round out two answers to F1 fans concerns on lack of racing excitement. While the Hungaroring podium result actually didn't look too unusual on paper, the actual way things shook out in the race was quite spectacular. Verstappen's RBR Honda took another step forward with pole position, Max's first pole position. Hamilton was a little bit off the pace in Q3, even being out qualy-ed by Bottas which helped with his bid for a contract extension, but Hams was pretty confident on their race pace. The reality of this parity between Merc and RBR made itself apparent during the race, where Max got a great start, Bottas had a not so great start and Hamilton had a great start which put him right on Max's bumper. The race win ended up turning into the story of two strategies and the drivers who had to execute them. I'll let todays' video cover those details, but Hamilton ended up executing his chief strategists plan to perfection, despite his early doubts, which lead to him catching and passing Verstappen on cooked tires with about 5 laps to go. With the checkered flag dropped the Driver's Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-68), Verstappen (-75), Vettel (-94), Leclerc (-118), Gasly (-187). More importantly, since this race some driver changes have taken place, specifically with Albon being swapped for Gasley to back up Verstappen. Albon has a great opportunity, but an equally great challenge to go along with it; it'll be interesting to see how this shakes out, along with driver lineups at Renault, Merc and Ferrari. Plenty of interesting story lines that have yet to be completely written. Meanwhile, this weekend will be another chance for Ferrari to ensure RBR doesn't jump them for second place in the Constructors' Championship in 2019; if Albon delivers what is expected of him, Red Bull has a real chance of adding kerosene to Ferrari's F1 season. The next two weekends are back to back F1 weekends, so look for another update before Singapore. Also, there is no live qualy this weekend, at least on East Coast with Comcast, so you'll have to catch the replay Sunday morning before the race.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekends.

Just when I said Silverstone was the best race of the 2019 season so far, the German Grand Prix has a swan song of epic proportions. It's a short week so I won't run too long here, but it was nothing short of a victory for those looking for a different podium, action on the race track and hell, even for those looking for a different top ten. Hockenheim delivered everywhere. Hams took pole Saturday, but finished 9th -- with the help of technical regulation compliance fault on both Alfa Romeos (vid below). Kubica scored the final point, in 10th, with this same help! Sainz finished 5th with another strong weekend after nearly collecting himself into the barrier early (drag strip victim #245); his teammate Norris wasn't so lucky and ended with a DNF. Kvyat finished on the podium in 3rd! Lance Stroll took 4th! Bottas, Hulkenburg and Leclerc all crashed out in different ways on the skating rink/drag strip area, late in the race. Vettel had car troubles in Qualy that made him start from 20th and he took 2nd! Max Vertstappen stopped 6 times in this race, spun 360* in the wet and not only took the checkered flag, but the fastest lap. What a magical, rainy, safety-car laden race this was. There were more victims of the DNF bug too, Gasly (a bit too eager to pass Albon and broke the front of the car), Perez (lost the car in the rain off the racing line on lap 2, hitting a barrier) and Ricciardo (engine #1 of the season went up in smoke) couldn't make it out unscathed. The result? Everyone on the podium was elated to be there, the small teams off the podium celebrated like they were on it; quite the scene. I was on vacation watching this race off DVR on my phone and I can't count how many times I put my hand of my head, saying 'holy crap' as unpredictable things happened time and time again. Amazing. Anyways, with the smoke cleared, Merc had one of their worst weekends ever, Ferrari split the difference with one car getting 18pts vs Mercs 2pt haul for Hams. Meanwhile Red Bull chipped even deeper into Ferrari's lead in the Constructors Championship. With the Hungarian Grand Prix around the corner, the drivers standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-41), Vertstappen (-63), Vettel (-84), Leclerc (-105), Gasly (-170). Hungary will be the last race before the summer break. There's a ton of talk about multiple drivers that may be losing their seats this year, but time will tell how this will shake out. The Hungaroring will be the next battle ground for who stays and goes; most of those team decisions will likely be determined afterwards.

Enjoy your weekends.

Silverstone is the current front runner for best race of the 2019 F1 season. Plenty of young drivers imposing their will on the event, young British drivers experiencing their first home Grand Prix, Hamilton losing out to Bottas in Q3 by six-thousandths, Bottas and Hamilton dicing for the race lead through the first pit stop, the fans getting the winner they wanted and records being broken all over the place -- two of which being Bottas taking the overall track record and Hamilton winning his sixth British GP. Verstappen and Leclerc were battling, both pitting around lap 14/52 to race eachother -- Vesrtappen stopping a bit quicker and took the lead out of the pit, but a couple turns later Max's cold tires lead him to give the spot back to Leclerc. Bottas' fortunes weren't great come race day, much to his chagrin, as he made his first pit stop, was in second place cutting into Hamilton's lead to stop the attempted over-cut, when Giovinazzi lost the rear and beached himself in the gravel on lap 20/52. This brought out a safety car, then things really got interesting. Hamilton, in perfect track position, ducked right into the pits, got a free pitstop and came out ahead of Bottas on mediums (they initially planned on two stopping), who already had several laps on his hards and was originally set out for a two stop. This opportunity was also seized by Verstappen (second stop on to hards to finish the race) and Vettel (and others), which ended up putting Leclerc on somewhat of an island given that he would need to stop again -- it seemed like Vettel got the better of the team decision once again as Leclerc was left out on mediums during the SC period, which ran for almost 4 lap, as the marshals cherry-picked Gio's car out. Ferrari finally decided to pit Leclerc, but he lost a couple spots, coming back out in 6th. Then the real race got underway and individual battles broke out for positions.

Hams got beyond a one second gap as quickly as he could over Bottas, Leclerc and Verstappen go back at it which ends up letting the McLaren boys get a peak at the top six. Gasly, who was ahead of Verstappen trying to chase down Vettel, wasn't making much progress and team orders swapped positions. Max, after a lot of work finally got ahead of Vettel, but Vettel looking to get the spot back was a bit too aggressive into the braking zone for stowe and rear ended the Red Bull, sending both cars off the track. Amazingly, neither of Max's rear tires were damaged and despite the hard shunt the rear suspension was still ok. Vettel's car had a damaged front wing, so he  immediately went to the pits to replace it and his tires for good measure. Verstappen kept himself from being beached, got going again and ended up in 5th, behind Gasly, who put in one of his best performances of the year. Sainz picked up a spot off Vettel in the aftermath, along with the biggest winner, Leclerc, who got his original 3rd position back due to the incident. Hams took the checkered flag and Bottas followed, putting Merc back into stride with 1-2 victories. Vettel received a 10sec penalty for the incident, but he was 17th after the pitstop so it didn't matter much. Oh and two more notables -- the Haas drivers took each other out with contact during the first lap leading to a team DNF. Finally, Bottas pitted late to go for fastest lap on the softs, the team asked Hams to come in as well, but he declined to finish on his hards; Hamilton still snagged the fastest lap on the final lap with 30+ lap old hards, showing some serious skill. While the ending positions didn't teach us much new, although Kimi had another good race taking 8th, we got racing excitement that was missing; it appears that the stewards' decisions in the last couple weeks has opened up what the driver's know they can do during the race which has let to more good hard racing on track. I hope this keeps up. With the race day complete the Driver's Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-39), Verstappen (-87), Vettel (-100), Leclerc (-103), Gasly (-168). Looks like you can almost put a fork into Vettel's Championship chase, Honda is officially back and Ferrari is now officially fighting Red Bull for 2nd in the Constructors'. The F1 circus is on to Hockenhiem this weekend for Merc's home race. It should be another great race weekend.

Enjoy your weekends.

Austria was a revelation in multiple ways. Merc didn't win for the first time this season. A Red Bull won a race this year, a great result at their home track. Max Verstappen took the checkered flag despite a stewards review of tire contact during a late race pass, after crawling back from 9th at the start of the GP to chase down Leclerc, on the hard tires. Verstappen had a issue with the start, then worked doubletime from that point forward to get back. The primary talking point was the pass he pulled off on Leclerc, which was a point of significant debate based on the recent stewards decisions on rejoining the track -- what was unique here was that no track rejoining was in play and what it really came down to was an aggressive pass and how much room was allotted to Leclerc, by Verstappen, during the move itself. after review, the stewards let it stand as a racing incident as Verstappen took enough ownership over the corner and wasn't deemed to force Leclerc off the road as much as take a natural line based on the move. Regardless of the side you're on, it made the race exiting and pointed out how much worse Ferrari was on its tires than Red Bull was in Austria. While there was a ten lap delta in tire age, Verstappen arguably worked his front tires very hard chasing down Leclerc for multiple laps trying to get the pass done.

In other action on track Merc had temperature issues which really hampered them; managing that all race nearly got Bottas nipped of the final podium spot and left Hams on an island in 5th. I'm sure they'll look at this vulnerability before returning to Hamilton's home track this weekend. In other news, McLaren scored points with both cars again, Alfa Romeo looked competitive again in qualy, but just managed to snag 9th and 10th in the race, unable to topple the McLarens. What this means is that the Renault, Racing Point, Toro Rosso and Haas all fell short of points, once again. The Red Bull Ring looked to be one of the best tracks for the Ferrari powertrain, so think may or may not even out as we go to the technical Silverstone circuit which Hams and Merc has owned in recent years. With the checkered flag dropped, the Drivers' Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-31), Verstappen (-71), Vettel (-74), Leclerc (-92), Gasly (-154). Silverstone should be another great race with RBR coming on form, joining Ferrari and Merc at the front.

Enjoy your weekends.

It's been a short week so here's a quicky. The French GP was kind of predictable. Hams took another win after taking pole, he just missed the fastest lap because Vettel was in no mans land in 5th and put on softs with two laps left. Verstappen had another strong drive, Gasly did pretty well in his home grand prix. Ricciardo got a little spicy out there with overtakes, got dinged for one of them but still finished in the top ten. Leclerc raced a strong race and almost nipped Bottas at the end for second place as Valteri was managing an issue. Norris had a great drive, even after a hydraulic problem almost ruined his entire race, but he still took points home. His teammate Sainz stayed ahead of him the entire race despite Norris being legitimately held up for a period of time (tire management and all). So another Merc 1-2 in the books, the French fans gave Leclerc a hearty applause and Ferrari is still scratching their heads on pace as they apparently figured a few things out with their front wing upgrade. Haas looked no better than Williams in France, they have work to do -- Grosjean had to retire in his home GP. We're back in Austria, which is a technical track that rewards aero, but still requires power; hopefully Ferrari can bring something to the table and Red Bull can finally bring a result in a home race. Merc is concerned with some reliability concerns with their latest powerplant revision, there may be a chance for someone to get within striking distance of breaking their GP win streak this season.

Enjoy your weekends.

F1s last race in Canada was quite the controversial weekend. First things first, it looked like Ferrari was at a track that suited their car. Vettel and Leclerc were quick, Hamilton looked like he was going to take another pole and Vettel nipped him by 2/10ths. Hamilton split the Ferraris for the race though, Bottas had a bad Q3 and wasn't able to tuck another car into the first two rows, starting 6th. Meanwhile, the Honda powered teams looked good in FP3, but Qualy didn't work out as well, with Gasley of RBR being the only one able to get into Q3. That would be flipped back into their favor in the race though, three Honda powered cars finishing in the top ten, only Albon in the Toro Rosso DNF'ing and not scoring any points. In the void of the top runners not making Q3, including Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo qualified 4th. This shows some significant improvement from Renault after the rough start; they've determined some of their core issues and have worked through them with powerunit upgrades. The race started off frantic as usual, but Hamilton and the remainder of the top few rows maintained positions and settled into race and strategy. Verstappen drives the wheels off once again and goes from 11th to 5th in the race. Stroll comes in 9th in his home grand prix. Kvyat shows another strong showing and takes the final point in 10th. Bottas salvages a not so great early race and finishes in 4th behind Leclerc. Vettel crosses the checkered flag first, but comes in second -- this is where the controversy comes in. On lap 48/70, Hamilton's reeling Vettel in, bit by bit, when Vettel loses the rear heading into turn 4 and cuts the grass in order to avoid needing to take the turn with no control. In rejoining the track the car drifts right; Hamilton, seeing the error is attacking the gap which is closed by Vettel who gets back on the power and corrects the slide, pinching Hams at the wall and forcing him to hit the brakes hard. In real time it looks a little rough, but happens really quickly. The stewards reviewed the incident and eventually, at the end of lap 57/70,  gave Vettel a 5sec penalty because of a specific rule about unsafe returns to the track which essentially isn't up for interpretation. Hamilton's chase was halted by the incident and even though he tried passing Vettel through the final 22 laps, but he was unable to pass him, finishing a bit under a second from Vettel. Leclerc was working hard to try nipping second place as Vettel's tires fell off late, but couldn't quite get inside the 5second window. Vettel was furious, obviously, looking to boycott the podium, but he was notified of further penalties that would come by not speaking to the media and he worked his way back. Hamilton looked to try letting Vettel stand on the top step of the podium with him, but Vettel declined. Vettel spoke to Martin Brundel and explained the issue, but walked off afterwards. The race crowd booed Hams even though he didn't make the decision and cheered Vettel as the true winner of the race. Vettel also put the #2 placard in front of Hamiltons car on the way to the podium. Quite the scene, quite the wet blanket ending to a GP, as good hard racing is good for the sport and spectators. The counterpoint is would Ferrari be asking for this same penalty if the roles were reversed? So what we seem to have is a rule that should have some wiggle room built in so that the stewards have the power to interpret (or the penalty at least - swap positions potentially on the grounds of gaining advantage) based on circumstance; but that'll have to be a target for another season. Oh and Magnussen giving his Haas team crap for having a poorly setup car on race day after he destroyed his previous car in Qualy. Poor form, wtf. They had to build a new car from scratch, overnight, with a brand new chassis. I'm glad Gunther told him off.

In the end, Hamilton took his 7th win in Canada, equaling Shumi's single track win record. Vettel and Ferrari curse the call by the stewards and looked to appeal it, but as of today the result still stands. This would've been Vettel's first win since Belgium 2018, but he'll have to settle for his first pole in 2019. The Driver's Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-29), Vettel (-62), Verstappen (-74), Leclerc (-90), Gasley (-126). The constructors championship gap between Merc and Ferrari is 123 points. The French GP has arrived just in time for Renault to get its act together; they finished 6th and 7th in Canada. We'll see if they can deliver the fans what they'd like to see.

Enjoy your weekends.
