Some might say the Turkish Grand Prix weekend was an uneventful one...it was anything but. Kimi and his drink, redemption for Valtteri, a new Driver of the Day, the Diabolica, the ever-changing weather conditions, a grippier track, engine penalties - it had it all! Brilliant Bottas Valtteri Bottas could not have asked for a better race weekend. Over a year from his last win and less than 10 races to go in his Mercedes career, another win for the Finn in the German outfit started to look increasingly unlikely. But on a weekend where his teammate had a 10-place grid penalty, he was expected to deliver. And so he did. Ever since Bottas found out about his future at Alfa Romeo, a secure one at that, it seems to have lit a spark in him. It’s almost as if we’re witnessing a new, freer Bottas. What he describes as “one of the best races I’ve ever had” saw him take pole - one he inherited from Lewis Hamilton - dominate almost the entire race to win his tenth ever and solidify his hold on ...

I never thought I could go through so many emotions while watching anything other than tennis or football. The Russian GP was like reliving the 2019 Wimbledon final all over again - Lando Norris and Roger Federer coming nail-bitingly close to winning, only to be robbed of that win by arguably the greatest-of-all-time in their respective sports. I'm going to draw comparisons between what could've been the last game of that Wimbledon final and the last few laps of the Russian GP. W: Federer, 8-7 up in the fifth set; serving for the match Mishits the ball long to go down 0-15. R: Norris, Lap 47; 6 laps to go Goes wide into Turn 5, and Hamilton closes the gap to less than three tenths. W: Federer plays three excellent points to go 40-15 up; double championship point. R: Norris defends extremely well to hold off Hamilton for the rest of Lap 47. W: Djokovic enters God Mode and saves two championship points. R: God enters Hamilton Mode as he goes into the pits on Lap 49 to change to I...

“To anyone who thought I left, I never left.” Ladies and gentlemen, that’s Danny Ric for you. To anyone who questions his decision to leave Red Bull, he did it for this. He did it for the joy of competing; he did it to prove he’s not in the sport to play second fiddle to anyone but is here based on pure talent - a talent that isn’t overshadowed by the “number one” of a team. “He won! He bloody did it!” - Daniel Ricciardo is a race winner once more, and boy, did he deserve it. That start, fearless. That drive, flawless. That win, priceless. That smile, timeless. The Honey Badger is here to stay, you all. And Lando. Lando, Lando, Lando. What a driver. The definition of a team player. So, so mature. A part of Danny’s victory is his too. His defence against Lewis in the Sprint as well as in the race basically materialised Ricciardo’s chances of a win. His overtakes, impeccable. Compelling the team to ask him to hold position and not fight his teammate for the win even though he had fresher...
