May 1st marks the anniversary of Brazilian Formula 1 Champion Ayrton Senna. 23 years after his fatal crash at Imola Italy, many people remember his indescribable talent behind the wheel, and the extraordinary human being he was.
The 27 year-old Finnish driver had waited 80 GP to finally grasp the very first place. After a long way, the past Sunday during the Russian GP he climbed to the top of the podium holding the trophy given to him by the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Having started in the third position he managed to grasp and hold on to the first place for the majority of the race. His teammate Lewis Hamilton was not that lucky having rear problems. Things for Ferrari's driver Sebastian Vettel got interesting for the last five laps, when he got closer to the Fin. Although, the final key was Felipe Massa who was being overpassed by Valtteri, and by the time Vettel went passed him he lost almost a second when the Brazilian narrowed his trajectory.
This is definitely an interesting turn of events for this years championship, although Hamilton and Vettel are in the first and second places, Bottas has demonstrated that he is here to fight for those points.
