ROTHNZ CONTINUES WINNING REGARDLESS OF THE CAR ON IMOLA…

Rothnz has taken another thoroughly deserved win on Imola with his Alphatauri, making him the winner of all the races run on this track in A1881… Cajoco in Alpine was very close to taking Rothnz this time but he couldn’t do the last move and settled for second. Altan reached his first podium in his REDBULL season…

Cajoco had pole after a wet Q3, but he was already overtaken by Rothnz on T1. Rothnz continued leading in majority of race, to be interrupted briefly only after pits, but he had the best of strategies and driving as usual, and claimed the win despite being in DRS distance of Cajoco… He finally is being challenged a little at least with Alphatauri this season, yet it doesn’t seem to change the end result…

He gave us a classic interview by thanking the guys back in the factory and all that: 

Rothnz: “That was a nice win to get! And it was a really joyable race to drive.

I was under pressure the entire race and had to be smart when to fight or not.

I'm pretty proud of my race tbh, everything did go as planned.

I let people pass like Haggish and Cajoco on some laps and then I played smart and didnt fully send it on a few attemps, instead let them do the mistakes.

From lap 12 to 32 it was a battle with Cajoco for the win. And it was full push that was required for these laps.

On lap 20, i was P1 and cajoco P2. I manage to break Cajocos DRS distance (1.1sec behind) and also had very lucky to get DRS from a blue flag-car. This made me build a solid distance to Cajoco for a few laps. (With solid a mean 1.5-2 sec 😬)

But then on lap 22, a new SC appeared and he was right in my rear again.

And between lap 25-32 i manage to keep Cajoco right behind me for all the remaining laps.

It was one of my toughest win but i'm proud both of myself and also for all the hard work the boys put in this car back in the factory. They deserved this win! These points was needed for the championship. It will be a battle to the end!

Thanks for the race guys, see you in Monaco."

Cajoco was the hope of millions to interrupt Rothnz domination but no, Rothnz continued winning like Erdogan, nobody understands how it happens but it happens over and over again… This has been Cajoco’s second consecutive P2, bringing him to P2 also in WDC, on equal points with Altan, who was following him in third here.

Haggisnt was far from impressive this weekend, after his win last week. Even though this hurt him in WDC, Mercedes have been able to claim the lead in WCC, with Ebird’s first contribution this season, by coming sixth. The Mercedes were seperated from each other by Leegoat in Haas, who have been around the top fight throughout the race with another strong showing in Haas. McLarens finished P7 and 8, with Dan ahead, almost becoming the victim of his teammate Rollie. Rollie’s mistake on Dan cost himself and Rianc more than it did to Dan, making him spin and giving Rianc a damaged wing. Rianc was definitely one of the quickest on grid, proven by setting the fastest lap, had to settle for P9 after the wing damage he suffered by hitting Rollie after he crashed. Mrmccann finished P10, did a good battle with Rollie for a few laps, but then had a contact into T1 and span, which he claims he wasn’t given enough space. This result placed him to P10 in WDC too.

Elgogetaman finally got rid of his eggplant, finishing the race in P11 despite having a quali ban. Kingdom followed him in P12. Atwinke suffered a spin at the exit of last SC in T1, after giving way to his teammate while he was P3. And he wasn’t even thanked by his teammate for this, very much like a Checo being bullied by…You know who… And finished P13. Sir Ibbo finished P14 ahead of his long time rival Cmrcnn, who was the last driver alive on track.

Endru continued his collection of eggplants together with Tuznani, Butcher and Selecta. The battle in A1881 will continue on Monaco next Sunday…

ENDRU SNATCHES DRAMATIC LAST-LAP WIN IN WET-DRY BELGIUM THRILLER

Image
Endru delivered a stunning victory at Spa for Williams, securing his first win of the season after a chaotic 44-lap race that transitioned from dry to wet in the final stages. He narrowly beat Ferrari’s NaeDangerDavid and Aston Martin’s AA_Mejg, who stormed from the very back of the grid after serving what can be called a “mental quali ban” to finish third... The Belgian Grand Prix began under dry skies, with NaeDangerDavid starting from pole and immediately defending hard. Endru, starting from P12, surged through the field, reaching second by lap five and managing his tires and fuel expertly. His early pace gave him a large advantage, but a mid-race safety car erased his 15-second lead. At the restart, Endru rebuilt a gap quickly but received a drive-through penalty that dropped him back. Determined to recover, he fought his way forward and reeled in David again—just as rain began to fall. The late rain turned the race into a high-risk strategy battle. David opted to pit for intermedi...

AA_MEJG TAKES BRAZIL GP WIN AS JORDAN CLINCHES SEASON 19 WDC CROWN

Image
In a dramatic feature race at Interlagos – the only sprint weekend in A1881 history – AA_Mejg took a hard-earned victory for Aston Martin, followed by newly crowned Season 19 world champion Jordan in the Alpine, with NaeDangerDavid delivering another impressive Ferrari drive to claim third. The championship fight for P2 and P3 in the WDC remains alive, as does the battle for the Williams–Alpine WCC crown, heading into the Las Vegas finale.. . The weekend began with Jordan taking the sprint win ahead of Mejg in a dominant low-drag, hard-tyre strategy display, the Alpine–Aston pairing finishing well clear of the rest. But in the feature race, starting from P5, Mejg quickly dispatched rivals, climbing to third within the first two corners. After chasing and passing Rian’s Williams by lap 4, he seemed in control, only to be briefly undercut by both Endru and Rian during the pit cycle. Showing the determination of a three-time champion, Mejg retook both positions and then managed the gap un...

SV5 MASTERS THE CARNAGE AT JEDDAH SEASON OPENER

Image
The Saudi Arabian GP kicked off the new season in brutal fashion, with SV5 taking a commanding win under the lights of Jeddah ahead of Bards and his teammate Selecta. The podium set the tone for a chaotic opener that was a likely scenario for Jeddah, more so when cockpit cam is forced... From pole, SV5 looked razor-sharp in his new Racing Bulls machinery, especially with the usual title heavyweights Jordan and Mejg absent, leaving the spotlight wide open. When the lights went out, that spotlight turned into a floodlight of chaos almost instantly. A massive first-lap incident at Turn 3 saw Justin clatter into NaeDangerDavid, with Elche also collected, triggering the first safety car and causing widespread damage down the field. Gordini was among those carrying wounds for the rest of the race, nursing underbody damage but somehow surviving it, having to pit on hards to change wing, which turned out to be a good choice with the second safety car. Up front, SV5, Bards in the Williams, and ...
