Dusting Off My Old Prancing Horse T-Shirt I Bought When Michael Schumacher Was Driving

At the end of the month,

the month of April,

the

Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix

will be held.

The fourth race of the season.

Even though

Nico Rosberg

has won the first three,

it has been a season of exciting ups

and downs for all the teams involved.

Some

Sporting News Outlets

(br)

predicted before the season opening race that the fight would be between

Lewis Hamilton

and

Sebastian Vettel

for the Championship. 

Yet,

in my mind,

it was always going to be about

Hamilton

and

Rosberg.

Nico

is doing what he is supposed to do,

but

Lewis

seems to be lost this season.

Not having his usual edge that he displayed the last two years.

I have a small theory on that,

and I am sure if my suspicions were correct,

the

Mercedes' Brain Trust

would have seen it too.

At the beginning of the season,

so people around the World would not think that

Mercedes

was playing favorites with their drivers,

five mechanics who worked with

Lewis Hamilton

last year

and five mechanics who worked for

Nico Rosberg,

traded positions.

For the last few years,
before 2016,

Nico,

had more mechanical problems with his car than

Lewis 
did.

This year,

Lewis

is having more problems with his car than

Nico.

Rosberg

even said after the

Chinese Race

that his

Mercedes AMG

was set up the best it has ever been.

Maybe there is one mechanic out of the bunch who has the perfect touch when setting up a race car?

It is just a thought.

Since the first seven races are held two weeks apart from each other,

I have been looking for a way to fill the void of my love for

F1

during the breaks.

I have found three documentaries that I think will fill the time nicely.

Weekend of a Champion.

A movie directed by a young

Roman Polanski

about

Jackie Stewart's

attempt to win the

1971 Monaco Grand Prix.

I haven't finished it yet,

but halfway through,

I love it.

Hunt vs Lauda.

Story about the 1976 rivalry between these two Formula 1 drivers.

I watched it a couple of years back,

but will be watching it again.

It is a good story.

In 2013,

Ron Howard

made the movie 

Rush

about the same story.

I love that movie.

The last documentary is
Gonchi.

I haven't seen it yet so I cannot tell you any thing about it except what it says on

Gonchi, The Movie - Official Trailer

on

You Tube.

"GONCHI tells the story of a Uruguayan car racer that dreamt about being in F1 and did all that was possible to reach his goal. When he was about to reach his best prize, he died in a car accident at the CART World Series tests in Laguna Seca, US." 

And if those documentaries don't do it for me,

I have the

2015 F1

racing game for my

Xbox One!

Dammit!

Pastor Maldonado

just hit me from behind.

Wow,

it is almost like driving a real
F1 Car
back in 2015!

This is,

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
