TIME ATTACK – A GIANT-KILLING HONDA!

November 23rd, 2017

FORMULA 1 NEEDS THIS!

Ferrari has been chasing Mercedes GP for some time now and 2017 positioned itself as the year that the assault to usurp power would [...]

Ferrari’s wounds were self inflicted. Truth be told, the prancing horse did not succumb to Mercedes’ pace. When both driver (Vettel) and machine were in sync fierce battles were evident – Belgium.
