How do you tell Fernando Alonso they AGAIN had engine issues?

The Russian GP, is about to start, all the cars are lined up as they start the lap around the circuit before the lights go off. Spanish driver Fernando Alonso reacher out to his engineers and tells them there is something going on with the car (once again), after doing what the team instructed he surrounded turns off the ignition and proceeds to get out of the car and walk all the way down the pit lane to McLaren's box. 

To be honest I cannot remember the time when Alonso finished a race with no problems at all. The news about him racing for Indy definitely questions what is going on for the British racing team. How do you explain to two times World Champion that their car is not even fit to finish one single race? That his car does not have what it takes to even stay in the first five places?

Alonso must really be looking forward to the Indy race, even if that means missing the Monaco GP. Where former British driver Jenson Button will take his place. 

One thing to admire is how diplomatic the Spaniard is taking all the media, interviews and comments going on about the terrible seasons McLaren has had in the past two years. Pity seeing such driver not even being able to start and finish a race. 

Congratulations to @valtteribottas on his first place in the Russian GP! #valtteribottas #bottas #mercedes

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.
