Boots the GP Brazil F1 2017, and already at the start begin to run into problems despite the fact that it runs dry and sunny, no rain forecast for good or for evil of some. During the exit has been complicated a bit with some incidents. Several cars have been played with each other and have ruined the careers of several riders. For the front, Vettel overtook Bottas at the start and the finn was second, all more or less quiet. But on the back there was a blow of Ricciardo in the eses of Senna, Ocon also played with Grosjean (punished with a 10 seconds by the collision with Ocon and this with the other pilots…) and was left out of the race, while Magnussen also retired as Vandoorne who has been brown for having the address starting by the touch with these cars in the back…
Safety Car had to come out by the amount of dirt and pieces of all those cars on the track, while pilots are still rolled, they had to pass by the pits by the number of pieces that had. Once it resumed the race, everything has gone more or less as planned for some, without too many incidents outstanding. Hamilton has commented from behind by the impact of the classification of yesterday as we reported, but not cost very much to go climbing at a fairly rapid clip. In the first few laps I passed some riders and came to be 5th on lap 24, so that a super comeback to finish in first position (in the absence of your stop, is delayed to be a different strategy) on lap 30, taking advantage of some of their rivals they would stop in the pits to make a tire change. Finally has been able to be in 4th place, quite an achievement, with Vettel getting the win here.
The Ferrari and the Mercedes have shown to be very strong, making quick turns in both cases. Meanwhile, the Red Bull, despite what you could think, have not had a weekend bright and their performance has not been at the height of Ferrari and Mercedes as in other cases, although if it is true that Max Verstappen has been amazing as always, and Daniel Ricciardo has made a great comeback by his sanction for the change of parts of his power unit. What is certain is that it should not be of the worst circuits for Red Bull, but we did not see this superiority as when they had managed to stand up to Ferrari and Mercedes in races past.
In terms of the Spanish representation, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz have had a career more or less quiet. Fernando has been able to get a few points for the team, finishing in 8th position is reasonable bearing in mind that yesterday was 7th in rating by the absence of Hamilton, knowing that today would be the 6th for the sanction to Ricciardo, and that both would happen sooner or later, before… Carlos Sainz has not been able to this time with his team-mate and has always been just behind Nico Hülkenberg, in addition to outside the points in 11th position. In contrast to his former team has not gone so well, with one of its drivers retired and the other out of the points… I don’t know if you will miss Carlos… since then that they’re not going to miss it is to Renault, on all seen the heated discussion between Cyril and Helmut for the engine problems that you are suffering and the accusations exchanged between the two.

Next appointment, and last, 2017, the career of the GP of Abu Dhabi between the 24 and the 26 of November. Yas Marina will host this last official event of 2017, to give an end to a season which as you know is determined, with Hamilton victorious, and with his team, Mercedes, is also at the top of the constructors ‘ championship. Hope you have a good weekend our riders and at least have fun in this last quote. By the way, you already know that the cars are kept there to perform the tests on the end of the season as usual. Here, we see some evidence of face-to-2018, and also a test of Williams with the fantastic Robert Kubica… who knows if next year we see him dressed in white and back. It would be news enormous!
