Kimi Raikkonen Finally Wins Something
Kimi Raikkonen finally won something - the \u2018Driver of the Day\u2019 in the Hungarian Grand Prix. Did Max Verstappen's fans vote for him as a 'thank you' gesture for not overtaking their driver again? And of course, we applaud Lewis Hamilton\u2019s perfect race start - one that took him nearly 10 races to master. Not to forget, his \u2018international hand gesture\u2019 to a lesser known Esteban Gutierrez. \n Nico Rosberg\u2019s third (or fourth?) consecutive date with the FIA Stewards? Did they pull him up three hours after qualifying because they didn\u2019t have better Saturday night plans? We tell why it is brave of Mercedes and Nico Rosberg to extend their contract by two full seasons. Pascal Wehrlein might not be the only one; the news of their extension has upset a hopeful Pastor Maldonado too. \n Max Verstappen vs. Kimi Raikkonen, yet again. Martin Brundle termed Verstappen\u2019s defence against Raikkonen as \u2018junior formulae\u2019 like. Then we wonder why watch Formula 1 if \u2018junior formulae\u2019 racing can be this much fun! Also, Formula 1\u2019s ticket sales grew 6% in 2015. That\u2019s also the year Max Verstappen started racing - just saying! \n P7 and applaud for Fernando Alonso\u2019s consistency. Are Mclaren-Honda the best of the rest really? Anyway, who will have the last laugh - Alonso or Vettel? They\u2019ve differed in their bets on Ferrari being THE team to beat Mercedes in the near future. \n Ferrari\u2019s desperation in wanting to win in Formula 1 shows in their approaching Ross Brawn. We\u2019d love to see them reunite and re-work their magic, but it seems highly unlikely. And will Williams sign Red Bull Racing\u2019s to-be-fired Daniil Kvyat? \n It seems that the FIA tend to get more ridiculous each time we point our their ridiculousness. So its best we leave aside the recent \u2018radio rules\u2019 clarification, much like we did so to the \u2018elimination based\u2019 qualifying format or the double points system. \n Our heart goes out to Bernie Ecclestone\u2019s family in the wake of the news of his mother-in-law (who is by the way younger than him) being kidnapped in Brazil. We try and wonder who these kidnappers could be - on a lighter note only. \n Nico Rosberg and Mercedes\u2019 home is the upcoming German Grand Prix. While they will win, will he? We\u2019ve got the second half of the season ahead of us and all to play for. Game on! \n (Season 2016, Episode 25)\n The Inside Line F1 Podcast is hosted by Mithila Mehta and Kunal Shah.
