F1 Review: Austrian Grand Prix

Austrian Grand Prix Review

Lewis Hamilton regained his rhythm after a successful weekend in Montreal. His satisfying victory seemed to cement his ways of winning again, and his determination in Austria has to be at an all-time high. But he plays it strictly cool. Nico has needed to find that “extra bit” to put the pressure on his double-champ teammate, and hasn’t quite yet made the mark he (and many others) would like him to.

Nobody actually knows. But what we do know, is that there is much much more to look forward to this year. Fans, engineers and drivers were able to get their first taste of F1 in 2015 at the first test in Jerez. Speaking of Hispanic tracks, the sport will also make its first return to Mexico since Nigel Mansell won there in 1992 – just one of many exciting prospects for the coming season.

That’s a Wrap ! 2014 Conclusions

That’s a Wrap!

2014 has delivered one of the most, and least talked about seasons in decades. The introduction of the politically correct 1.6 l “hybrid power units” has received some harsh crits by fans,teams and drivers alike. The soft lazy groans of an engine revving to around 15 000 rpm simply hasn’t tantalized the senses.

2014 was the dawn of a new era of Formula One, and quite likely the benchmark for future racing developements. It recieved critisism and praise. What exactly happened this year has been a milestone for the sport, be it good or bad, Formula One has certainly recieved a lot of attention for its efforts over the season.
