GPI 2016 Grand Prix of Europe Edition | страница 4
ROSBERG BACK ON TOP
2016.08
Azerbaijan - in Asia - hosted the Grand Prix of Europe! What Bernie
Ecclestone wants Bernie gets.
There were rumblings before the race that the track might have been
unsafe for Formula 1. And indeed during practice and qualifying some
illustrious names came in close contact with the walls.
The GP2 race was chaotic and mayhem was expected around the
challenging confines of the Baku City Circuit.
But, no worries, as what transpired on Sunday afternoon was an incident
free Formula 1 race in which Nico Rosberg simply cruised, unhindered
to claim a comfortable lights to flag victory.
Granted for some it may have been a yawn of a race, however there was
intrigue in the form of radio rants of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen,
which remained talking points even after the race.
We have the whole weekend covered in this edition featuring some
neat multimedia elements for the first time.
Hope you enjoy this first of many free editions of GPI made possible by
our sponsors and advertisers - please support them.
