ROTHNZ THE CHAMPION SECURES HIS FIRST WIN OF SEASON IN HUNGARY GP!

Rothnz has finally secured his first win this season, ahead of his championship leader teammate Endru… Tvoje finally reached his first career podium in Mercedes…

Endru was on pole after the wet qualifying sessions and he easily pulled away, having almost a second over the duo of Dunce and Rothnz at first five laps. Dunce in his reserve ride with McLaren could only defend for around 10 laps to the champion Rothnz. Endru was keeping a safe distance leading the race ahead of his teammate but he suffered a spin after his pit. Two safety cars back to back gave Rothnz the lead, with Endru getting on his tail and staying there until the finish line. Endru seemed to not force his teammate too much, for gifting him his first win, Lando Norris style. Rothnz was aware of and thankful to his teammate after the win:

Rothnz: This win is all on Endru who has been such a great teammate since the very beginning of the season.

I tried to swap positions with him in the end because i think he deserves it more and most important is that he secure P1 in WDC, if i end up P2 or P4 isn’t that important.

Endru has carried the team completely when i’ve been messing around with Q bans or being unable to race, so all i wish for is to see him getting that win in the Championship.

The race for me had its up and downs. The car felt good. Maybe it was a liiiiittle to peaky for me and i span once (but it didnt cause any damage), and the SC made me sweat a little with Tvoje in my gearbox with Meds and me on Hards, but I manage to keep him away even though he had very impressive pace.

Last 20 laps i had Endru within 1sec and i gave him the position with 1 lap to go, but he fooled me on finish line and stopped his car right infront of the line which made me win and made me do this damn interview once more.... (Joke..😂)

Thanks everyone for the race. Nice battles Tvoje and Dunce, and also great awareness from the RedBulls.

Good job all, always happy to race with you!

Tvoje deserves a seperate paragraph after his first career podium in A1881, with Mercedes. He has been one of the long time members of A1881 and always showed great consistency and attitude both on and off track, paired with steady and significant improvement. This podium of his has been signaling itself for a long time, and it seems it won’t take very long until he reaches a medal or gets a race win, to carve his name into A1881 Hall of Fame. This podium also placed him firmly P3 in the championship, as we have only three races left in season.

Bhavish finished 4th in McLaren. Rollie in his Aston had a consistent pace throughout the race, could possibly climb only one position more with zero time penalties if he wasn’t delayed by Inginne during VSC, but the podium was never an option given the pace of the podium trio. Dunce in McLaren had a podium pace at first stint, but seemed to lack consistency and settled for P6. Skid Solo had his debut in A1881 reserving for Dan in Mercedes and brought important team points by finishing seventh. Selecta had very similar pace to Rollie in his Haas, but their battles were interrupted by Selecta’s usual connection issues and he had to settle for P8 eventually. Patrick Myler was another driver to have his reserving debut, and got a strong result with Alpine, reaching P9, ahead of his teammate Keon who struggled for pace throughout the race. The two RedBulls showed great awareness generally in this tough 70 laps race, and finished P11 and P12, with Inginne leading the last driver alive on track, Sir Ibbo… Tbran retired while 6 laps remaining, but he was classified in end results.

Naedangerdavid, Justin and Varea were all eggplanted, despite all of them having good enough pace to be in Top 5 at least.

We are heading to legendary Spa next Sunday, for the last %100 length race of Season 14 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 ...
