F1 2016: Brazilian GP

In a weekend full of excitements, full of emotions and full of waiting (let's be honest), one of the best races of 2016 took place in Brazil. A race full of safety cars and red flags, we eventually saw some great races by some big and some less big teams. The last home race for Felipe Massa, perhaps the most noticable. Who were this weekends winners and losers? Let's take a look!

Winners:

Max Verstappen:

Perhaps his best drive so far? Red Bull gambled on the intermediates, had to take a extra pitstop under the last safety car and from that moment on the Dutchman was (quite literally) on fire. From P16 in lap 55 to a podium finish (Lap 71), and the easy-looking way he did it, showed his true skills as a rain driver. And of course, his mighty save can not be missed.

Though I do not always agree of the Driver of the Day, this time it was more than obvious to see Max been given it. 

Felipe Nasr:

And if Max did not perform that well, Felipe Nasr might have been the perfect Driver of the Day. Haven't seen him making a single mistake and took great advantage of the weather situation, he managed to score Saubers first points of the season. With those 2 points, they also pass MRT for 10th place in the constructors championship. 

Losers:

Romain Grosjean:

He did a magnificent job on Saterday, taking P7, but he managed to crash his car on his way to the starting grid. It must be said: The complete straight was a hell to drive, and he wasn't the only one to be caught on that part (Felipe Massa, Marcus Ericsson, Max Verstappen). I'm sure he could have finished in the points, but it wasn't supposed to be.

Jolyon Palmer:

At first I did not even notice what happened, but what a way to end your race. He just drove on the back of Daniil Kvyat, who (in this case) had nothing to be blamed for. It was a pity, as I felt Jolyon was doing a much better job during the last couple of weekends.
