RIANC CONTINUES WINNING ON USA WITH TOTAL DOMINATION…

Rianc won USA GP with another dominant performance in Alpine. Cajoco followed him to keep Alfa Romeo in WCC lead. Gordini reached his third podium in a row with McLaren…

Rianc had once more an incredible quali time to clinch pole. Gordini gave him a hard time until the first SC but he had better pace on his second stint which was interrupted by 2 more safety cars. Last SC entered when there were 9 laps to run and the front runners led by Rothnz skipped the opportunity to pit for track position, while Rianc did the brave move and fitted softs. He climbed above safe and steady, to keep his record of winning every race he finished this season. Then he immediately went back to the pub to watch the real race and we weren’t able to interview him this time. Good going Rianc 🍻

Cajoco and Gordini were the others to fill the podium just like last race in Qatar, only they switched positions this time and Cajoco was ahead. This brought champion Cajoco to P3 in standings, 9 points above Vithjalmen who finished P7.

Rothnz was leading the race at the exit of the last SC but he had worn hards so had to yield to podium guys, eventually coming 4th. Yet this result was enough to keep his position in standings. He was followed by Valward in Alfa Romeo, who keeps on bringing consistent and important points to help his team stay on top and reach his first medal. He was followed by Rollie in Alpine who reached his best result this season, after an intense battle with Tbran in AT. Tbran lost his position to Rollie in last lap and soon after that he was dived by his teammate Vithjalmen, and had to settle for 8th behind his teammate as a result. Selecta came 9th in McLaren despite finishing ahead of Rollie, paying for 11 seconds penalty. Haggisnt also had good quali pace and was at P2 at some point in race, until he lost the car during SC period. Dan had a disappointing pace and came 11th in Williams, but not so disappointing considering he still increased the gap to Ibbo anyway… Burtay finished P12 in his first race as a full time in Mercedes, to replace Tazer. Behind him was Leegoat in Haas, also getting the fastest lap in last lap. Kast reserved for Mrmccann who had a last minute technical failure, and brought points to Mercedes by coming 14th. Altan finished 15th in Aston, once more suffering from DT penalty due to his inattention to delta during SC. Sir Ibbo was the last driver alive on track in his Redbull to score points.

Cmrcnn, Kragish, Kingdom and Butcher were the eggplant owners of this week. We are heading to Mexico GP next Sunday in A1881!

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 ...
