2023 Miami GP

by F1 Fanfictionin 2023 Season, EpisodesLeave a Comment on 2023 Miami GP

The 2023 Miami GP was a cringefest, with the fake marina still pretending to be a real one and a WWE style driver introduction. But hey, at least we got to see some awesome racing action on the track! Verstappen widened his lead in the championship, while Perez kept nipping at his heels. There were no big bangs, but it was still a blast to watch.

The Singapore GP was the perfect culmination of drama, emotions, heartbreaks, and triumph. We returned to marina bay after a 2 year gap and boy did it deliver with not only an amazing race but a nail-biting qualification session as well. 

Perez came out on the top in the intense battle for the lead with Charles hunting him down for a good chunk of the race. While max was stuck at the back of the grid with some mistakes of his own and some of the team.

2022 Italian GP

by F1 Fanfictionin 2022 Season, EpisodesLeave a Comment on 2022 Italian GP

Max and Red Bull continue their campaign of domination at Monza, the temple of speed at 2022 Italian GP. No matter what Ferrari did, the hard pill to swallow is that Max was just unstoppable at Monza. 

This race was also the debut of Nyck de Vries who gained half of all the points Williams has earned in a single race and completely humiliated Latifi in the process.
