I had waited for this GP for a long
time because I knew that I was going to be at the Yas Marina Circuit
to see it.
Everything was very nice and fun in Abu
Dhabi but the race itself was boring. I could count the most
entertaining moments with one hand so I'll list five things below in
no particular order.
- Sebastian Vettel's donuts and radio message after finishing - funny and amusing
- Mark Webber's overtaking maneuvers - at least somebody looked like a real racing driver at the boring race.
- Fernando Alonso four wheels outside of the track - in my opinion he did nothing wrong. He had no choice.
- Niko Hulkenberg's unsafe release from the pits and penalty - stupid mistake from the team.
- Kimi Räikkönen's accident at the start - a big disapointment. I am sure that he would have made some pretty nice overtakings through the race.
After the race there was nice fireworks
and a consert as usual but I can't count them in the race as
entertaining moments.
Vettel won his 11th victory this year
and showed everybody how undefeatable the Red Bull is. He has a
chance to match Michael Schumacher's record of most wins in a season
which is 13 if he wins the two remaining GP's. It was also his 7th
victory in a row so he has a chance to match Alberto Ascari's record
of most consecutive wins as well.
Sebastian Vettel is breaking records
just like Schumacher used to do. There is just one thing that
separates them. Schumi won 7 world titles with two different teams.
Vettel has won 4 titles with one team. Even Alain Prost and Juan
Manuel Fangio who also won 4 titles or more won them with more than
one team. It shows that you can win with different cars and not only
with one kind.
And now my guesses and actual results:
Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
- WRONG
Race results:
- Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull - CORRECT
- Kimi Räikkönen, Lotus - RETIRED ON THE FIRST LAP
- Romain Grosjean, Lotus - He was 4th so this was very close!
Surprise: Valtteri Bottas - No
surprises there. I'll shut up about him now even though I still
believe in his talent.
Fastest lap: Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull
– WRONG
The actual results:
Pole position: Mark Webber, Red Bull
Race results:
- Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull
- Mark Webber, Red Bull
- Nico Rosberg, Mercedes
Fastest lap: Fernando Alonso, Ferrari
I am sorry that I don't have anything else to say about this GP. Like I said it was boring.
But anyways I got some pretty nice pictures from
the Abu Dhabi weekend so I'll post them this week when it's possible
to do so.
