First time since 2012 Hungarian GP there is no Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari on the podium.

If I am not mistaken, the 2013 Australian GP was the last time a constructor outside the usual Top3 (Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull) won a GP, Raikkonen with the Lotus. Which means that the Alpha Tauri is the 5th constructor to win a GP in the current era.

Oh wait, the current hybrid era started in 2014, not 2013.  So the Alpha Tauri is the first constructor outside the Top3 to win a GP in the current era, they have done it before  Renault and McLaren.

And even longer ago there was nobody of the 'main' teams on the podium, I assume (since McLaren was definitely still one of the big teams in 2012).

If you count 2009 Brawn GP as a 'main' team (it was a Honda buy-out after all) then you'll have to go back to 1999 season to find such results (of course I'm talking about the legendary European Grand Prix at Nurburgring).

Dare I say his 1996 Argentine GP exit was more spectacular

 

Even the track marshal tripped in the sand...

This will be probably be Perez last season in F1 

 

He published a letter today confirming he'll be departing Racing Point at the end of the season

[Monzanator 5,096]

Yeah, it seems like Vettel is well on his way to join Racing Point next season then.

 

As for Perez, well, I wonder what Williams does? Can the Mexican backers (Telmex) outbid Latifi?
