Monaco.

That was intresting race ! The Grand Prix of Monaco.
It was set on the street Circuit de Monaco.
Race laps: 78
Lap: 3.340 km
Last year winner: Mark Webber
Lap record: 1min 14,439 secs by Michael Schumacher in 2004

The race:
In FP3 Felipe Massa had a crash on the first curve, so he didn't attend in qualifiactions.
It all began so easly, but later on there was a real race to watch.
Almost all drivers started on Supersoft compound.
He recived a penalty because of changing the gearbox just as Max Chilton.
On the formation lap Jules Bianchi had a problems with his car, so he couldn't drive.
After few laps Maldonado damaged his front wing just as Gido van der Garde, (which about pastor is a not suprise :). Later on the team mates from McLaren started fighting between each other. On the 9th lap Charles Pic's car started to burn on the entry to pitstop. Just some technical problems, and it's the end of the race for driver. A moment later Maldonado had again contact but this time with Jules Bianchi. Then was not a good view because Felipe Massa had again crush on this same curve, Sainte Devote, as in FP3. After that we could see a safety car, beautiful Mercedes SLS AMG, for the first time in this season. Safety car annoys many people, but for me hearing this sound of engine and then the F1 cars is so good :)
At the 38th lap the SC went out, and after almost 10 laps Pastor Maldonado had a terrible crush, that the race was red flagged, because it took out the entire barrier on curve, which makes track not available to drive through. Every driver backed to the star and waited till the track would be clear. It was a Max Chilton fault so he recived a drive through penatly for causing collision. After the 20mins break everything backed to normal and we had the race restarted. Sergio Perez started to fighting so raw, that sometimes it was quite unfair. Also Lewis Hamilton was trying to get back his position, but he just couldn't get Mark Webber. Later on was a crush between Grosjean and Ricciardo, but Romain backed on the track with destroyed front winng, but in Pit Stop he finnished his race. There was again we had a safety car, because there was so many parts of cars. Few laps before the end, Sergio Perez was out of track because of car's problems. A this race Fernando Alonso had a very bad pace, most of drivers just take him over and over. That was so sad for me because I support him. Anyway it was a very very good race for Nico Rosberg. He got a pole position, and he won the race ! So congrats, and now get ready to next GP in Canada!

Pirelli wristbands

Hey !
So today I want to share with you my  new purchase. It's Pirelli wristbands (2013 eddition) !
Those wristbands are special for me, because there is 6 wristbands which each of them is compound of the real Formula 1 Pirelli tyres. There is green one (Intermediate), blue one (Wet), red one (Supersoft), orange one (Hard), white one (Medium) and yellow one (Soft).
This is like a must have for every F1 fan, because it's so nice to have them on.
I wanted them for such a long time, but they seems to be pricey, but one day I said "I must have them !" and I don't regret.
Check it out :)

About the legend, Ayrton Senna

Barcelona, Spain

The first Grand Prix in Europe this season was set in Barcelona in Spain on Circuit de Catalunya.
Some facts:
Race laps: 66
Lap: 4,655km
Last year winner: Pastor Maldonado
Lap record: 1 min 21,670 secs by Kimi Raikkonen in 2008

The race:
Felipe Massa after Q2 recived a three-place grid penalty for impeding Mark Webber. Also Esteban Gutierrez got this punishment, but he was blocking Kimi Raikkonen.
That was very beautifull start for Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. As soon as lights went off, they rapidly got ahead. Mercedes duet was on the first to places, but the starts wasn't great for them. Lewis Hamilton on the first curve blocked his tyres, and lost his position. Later on began problems with his car, so he totally lost his good position. Also Nico Rosberg was struggling a bit, because  drivers one by one were overtaking him. Then in pitlane Force India had some issue with their car. Next thing happened to Romain Grosjean. Had a huge problem with car, with steering.
Pastor Maldonado received drive through penalty, because of over-passing speed in pitstop.
Giedo van der Garde reported to his engineer that he is having problems with his tires  later on he lost his back, left tyre, but he continued driving to pitlane, whereas he supposed to stop somewhere. 
Ferrari started to have the best results and heading to the first places. All fans on the grandstands were just celebrating. 
Then it was just fight between Massa Vettel and Raikkonen, where Vettel, which is quite surprise  didn't have a good results, good pace. Whereas Fernando Alonso had incredibly good pace, and was leader for the end of the race (with ups and downs because of visit on pitlane). Later on Nico Hulkenberg was to early released, straight to  Jean-Eric Vergne, that they even had a contact. Nico received penalty 10secs stop in pitstop. Few moments later Vergne's back right tyre completely destroyed, so he had to get back again to pitstop. 
Last laps, all Ferrari fans were so much happy, that he is going to win the race, and that just happened.
Fernando Alonso won Spanish Grand Prix ! 

All results:

The legend

Today is the day.
19 Years ago, on 1st May, the greatest driver, the legend, left us.. 
We will never forget about him, about what he did and how he was. 
That day was the worst to his family, friends, and all fans around the world. Actually that weekend wasn't good at all. If you didn't ready about it already, then I recomend you the best documental movie which is called "Senna".  Probably every fan of F1 saw this movie many times. It's such an amazing one!

Ayrton Senna da Silva:
162 races
41 wins
80 podiums
65 pole position
3 times  F1 World Champion

The most popular Senna's quotes:

"Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose"

"I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence"

"I'm not designed to come second or third. I'm designed to win"

"Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them"

"My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet"
