F1 - Singapore - 2014

The last part of the season starts here, in Singapore. The circus won't land in Europe again before the end of November, when we will have a 2014 Champion. Not much time for the teams to apply any upgrade to their cars, not much time for the drivers to book a seat for the next season. The music will stop soon and the chairs available are only a few.
Everybody is projecting himself into 2015. Well... everybody except who is fighting for the championship. Inside the Mercedes team, very few people will divert their attention from the head to head between the two silver drivers.

Let's step back for a second and let's take a look at the actual race that took place in the astonishing scenery of Singapore.
On the grid we have the by now usual duo Mercedes in front, followed by the two Red Bull in particular good shape on the city track and the positively performing Ferrari of Alonso, first of the two pairs Ferrari-Williams starting in Row 3 and 4.

The first and biggest turn of event takes place even before the first lap. The warm up lap begins with the cars leaving their position on the grid to slowly get ready for the start but Rosberg Mercedes' doesn't move an inch. Some problem in the electrical system between wheel and gear box doesn't work and he has to give up his second position on the grid and start from the pit.
The car will never get back to work properly, it will take laps before Rosberg will attempt, with much struggle, to overtake Marussias and Caterhams. His forth gear won't work and this is not the best track to lose traction at medium speed.
He will come into the pit for the tires change, they will try to use a second steering wheel but that won't solve the problem. He'll watch the rest of the race from the pit, staring at his teammate flying away from the group, finishing in first position, pushing him down from the top of the season standing, feeling sorry for the team because one of them scored no points.

With Rosberg out of the game, everybody in the top positions moves ahead, the two Red Bull fill up the podium behind Hamilton, this time with Vettel in front of the local idol Ricciardo. Alonso, who was dying to get to the podium for once in a while, has to please himself with a forth place. Massa sits in fifth.

With five races to go we have the two contending for the title within 3 points. A family feud that will keep the whole Mercedes team on their toes and will divide even more the supporters in "Team Hamilton" vs. "Team Rosberg".

Who are you gonna go for?

Marco Wittmann 2014 DTM Champion

It didn't take the whole season to find a Champion this year. Thanks to his four victories in eight races, Marco Wittmann is the DTM Champion 2014.
A BMW car brings its driver to the top of the category, like exactly 30 years ago, when the first DTM Championship was conquered by Strycek, in the BMW 635.

The race is wet and the slippery asphalt of the Lautiz leaves no room for error. Many learn that since the first laps of the race, included Ekstrom, one of the last contendings in the run for the title, but Marco Wittmann kept it together, even with a car not at the same level of the Mercedes that confirmed to be the best car to have at the Lausizring.
The other of the last possible contendings, Edoardo Mortara, went for a different strategy, knowing that the only way to mind the gap to Wittmann was by taking some risks. He opted to start with slick tires although the track was still soaked, hoping in a quick change of condition and eventually in the help of the safety car. Unfortunately for him none of these factors came into place and he crossed the finish line in 16th and last position.

The winner of the day is Pascal Wehrlein who, in 48 hours gets his first pole position in DTM, his first  win in DTM and the role of reserve driver for the F1 Mercedes team. yes, quite of a week end!

The verdict is then, Marco Wittmann is the champion for this season 2014. The last two races will still have to crown the top manufacturer and, with only 18 points between BMW and Audi, it will be a close call.
