Feature: Mexican GP - Our Post-Race Quotes



Frances Fry (Assistant Writer) - "The Mexican Grand Prix is officially back on the calendar after 23 years absence and my goodness it's stunning! The section of curves with grandstands on either side is fantastic and the fact that it homes the podium is the cherry on top! Standing on the podium with the incredibly enthusiastic Mexican fans cheering your name must be incredible!

My highlight of the weekend was, without a doubt, the Mexican fans. Yes, the track was wonderful but what's a great track without excited fans filling the grandstands. I can't imagine how Sergio Perez must've felt driving through, screams of support in his path. I very much look forward to next year's Mexican Grand Prix where two Mexican drivers will be back on the grid. Perhaps the cheers will be twice as loud."

Amy Hawk (Lead Writer & Editor) - "I think the Mexican GP had a great comeback to Formula 1! It was a great race, great circuit and the fans were just so excited and happy. Huge congratulations to Rosberg, Hamilton and Bottas. It's gotta' be a great feeling for Rosberg to win somewhere so special to the sport. I'm glad we'll have both Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutierrez driving on the circuit next year. It's so great for them to have a home race. I thought the circuit looked absolutely amazing. The grand stand areas were phenomenal. Next is Brazil and I'm already looking forward to it. It's always an action-packed race! Cheers!"

Feature: Star Drivers Of The Chinese GP



Amy Hawk (Main writer & editor) - "My driver of the weekend is Valtteri Bottas. I've been very impressed with the Fin's driving since he entered Formula 1 and he is one of my favorites in the sport. He's a very friendly guy and he has what it takes to be a future Champion. I think he had a great race in China and for sure he'll get some more podiums. Can't wait to see how he does in Bahrain."


Frances Fry (Assistant writer) - "My driver of the race weekend is Max Verstappen. The 17-year-old driver was one of the most talked about drivers between this season and last. Most of the attention was because of his age. Max is the youngest driver to ever participate in a Formula 1 race.

After the talk of him between the seasons I was very excited to see how he'd do on track. I must say, so far I have been very impressed but this weekend, I thought he deserved the credit that I'd given to others. Max may not have crossed the finish line or scored points in the race but he is consistent in his skill and has proven that he belongs on the race track with the older and more experienced drivers. His overtaking is spotless and is crafted carefully of precision, speed and experience.

Max Verstappen is without a doubt good enough to race in Formula 1. His first few races make his future look very promising. He's defying his age and making people proud. Well done, Max! Keep pushing forward!"

Feature: Star Drivers Of The Australian GP


Frances Fry (Assistant writer) - "I thought this decision was going to be hard to make and I was right. After long consideration I've decided my driver of the weekend is Carlos Sainz of Toro Rosso. 

The 20 year old rookie not only drove a strong race and crossed the line (which proved challenging for many drivers) but also scored points for his team! The Spaniard additionally qualified with excellent strength after getting into Q3 and setting a time worthy of 8th place on the grid. 

Before the season started I was intrigued by the drivers at Toro Rosso and after seeing the performance put out by them I'm even more excited. Carlos has blown me away and I'm extraordinarily excited to see where he'll be when the season comes to a close."

Amy Hawk (Lead writer & editor) - "My driver of the Australian GP weekend is Felipe Nasr, who is driving for Sauber-Ferrari this year. I know there's only been the opening race, but I can tell he's getting the hang of the car very well. 

I knew he was talented from watching GP2 and seeing him on the podium multiple times, so it was great to hear about him landing a seat this year in F1 and I'm already very impressed with how he's done so far. To finish 5th in your debut F1 race is a great result. He brought points to the team and he drove remarkably. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how he does in Malaysia."

Feature: Star Drivers Of The Abu Dhabi GP



Frances Fry - "This time, I have to acknowledge the championship winner. He had some tough times at the start of the season but he never gave up and pushed on. Clearly this faith paid off as he is now the 2014 Formula 1 World Champion and that is a title to be proud of. I'm sure if you asked him how he felt, Lewis Hamilton would be speechless. Winning a second world championship can do that to a person. 

The reason he's my driver of the weekend is not just because he won the championship, but because despite all the hype that he could win, he kept his cool and pushed for the entire race. He kept a strong faith in himself and his team and trusted his judgment. 

I would like to congratulate Lewis, his family and his team but also, Rosberg, for finishing the race and coming second in a championship. That too is a great achievement."

Amy Hawk - "My driver of the weekend is the same as Frances' choice. Lewis Hamilton. What a humble and deserving driver. Getting that first Championship is a good feeling, but getting your second really tops the list.

He really held on through the whole season, fighting his way through troublesome qualifying sessions and tough races. In the end, he came out on top and never lost his cool while doing so. So huge congrats to Lewis and the Mercedes team! It's been a spectacular year! On to 2015 now!"

Feature: Star Drivers Of The Brazilian GP


Amy Hawk - "My driver of the weekend is Nico Hulkenberg. Although Force India had a tough weekend, Nico managed to get back to scoring points. He finished 8th, gaining 4 points for the team and he even had the lead for awhile. I think overall his pace this weekend was quite well and I know he'll be eager to score points at Abu Dhabi."

Frances Fry - "My driver of the weekend has got to be Felipe Massa. Not just because it was his home race but because he managed to finish on the podium! Despite finishing below his teammate regularly, this driver is determined and knows what he's aiming for. I couldn't be happier that Felipe got a podium in Brazil! What a way to (nearly) end your first season in a new team! 

It's only his second podium this season but I think he has successfully moved teams which is a great achievement. He has settled in at Williams very well and is obviously very comfortable and confident within the team. Confidence is key for success and I believe that is exactly what this driver achieved this weekend."

Feature: German GP - Our Post-Race Quote


Amy Hawk (F1Insider78) - "First of all, I'd like to congratulate Nico Rosberg for winning at his home race. He gave an absolute incredible drive to take the win. Also congratulations to Valtteri and Lewis for their podium finishes. Overall it was a very entertaining and suspenseful race and I saw a lot of true wheel-to-wheel racing which is always great. 

Force India had a tough race, but fought hard and came away with another good handful of points. I believe they will achieve more great results in Hungary. As for Sauber, there was an unfortunate event with Adrian spinning out when he was so close to points. As for Esteban, he finished the race in a positive position and of course, they must take the positivity to the next race.

The accident between Kevin (Magnussen) and Massa was obviously a very seious thing. We don't enjoy seeing accidents happen and of course, you're instantly worried about the drivers involved. Luckily no one was injured. I am now looking forward to the coming race at the Hungaroring. It's one of my favourite GP's and the track is beautiful. It's also the last race before the Summer Break, so hopefully everyone will come out of it with good results."

F1Insider Feature: Post-Race Quote

"Well, I want to first congratulate Hamilton on an amazing win and Nico in Second. But to be honest, the biggest congratulations goes to Checo (Perez), for his podium finish. I'm very proud of him and Force India. They fought the whole way through and it's great to see such good results.

The situation between Maldonado and Gutierrez is very worrying. Maldonado has a very dangerous driving-style and I don't think the 5-Place-Grid-Penalty is enough for what he did to Esteban. I was beyond relieved to see him (Esteban), get out of the car without injury and I hope he's feeling okay. That was probably one of the worst accidents I've seen since Spa back in 2012. Driver safety is very important and I would've thought Maldonado would get a race ban for China, but sometimes things don't work the way they should.

I'm very looking forward to the teams getting to Shanghai for the next GP. I'm hoping Force India can keep their pace. We'll see what happens!" - Amy Hawk from Formula1Insider78
