Lewis Hamilton claims brilliant win as Red Bull blunders in Monaco
Monte Carlo          [29 May 2016]

---

Lewis Hamilton put his championship challenge back on course with a masterful victory in mixed conditions at the Monaco Grand Prix, beating Daniel Ricciardo who missed out on what should have been Red Bull's second victory in as many races.

The result brings Hamilton's run of eight races without a win to an end and moves him to within 24 points of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the championship. Rosberg had a day to forget after struggling for pace throughout the race before losing sixth position to Nico Hulkenberg coming out of the final corner on the final lap.

Jorge Lorenzo was back on top in Mugello, besting Marc Márquez is a jaw-dropping final lap battle.

Starting in fifth place, Jorge Lorenzo made a perfect start and led the MotoGP™ World Championship into Turn 1. The Majorcan had pressure applied from the first lap, Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) sniffing for a way past during the first half of the race. Rossi launched several attacks into Turn 1 but Lorenzo remained strong on the brakes and fended off all of Rossi’s advancess. Their battle continued to heat up until on lap eight when Rossi’s engine had a problem and he retired.

Eighteen-year-old Max Verstappen claimed an astonishing maiden Formula One victory at the Spanish Grand Prix after Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg crashed out of the race on the first lap.

Verstappen turned in a masterful drive on a two-stop strategy, holding firm under pressure from Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkönen in the final stint to become F1's youngest-ever winner at 18 years and 227 days on his first race for Red Bull. The collision between Hamilton and Rosberg just after the start blew the race wide open, with both Red Bull and Ferrari splitting its drivers between two- and three-stop strategies.

Nico Rosberg wins again as Sebastian Vettel crashes out in Sochi
Sochi          [1 May 2016]

Nico Rosberg made it seven wins in a row at the Russian Grand Prix as Sebastian Vettel was dramatically punted out of the race on the first lap.

Rosberg led away from pole position and never looked threatened throughout the race, with all the drama occurring behind him early on. Vettel, starting seventh after a gearbox penalty, was hit by Kvyat coming through Turn 2 and then again at the next corner, ending in the barriers and out of the race. Lewis Hamilton recovered from tenth position to finish second ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkönen, but a water pressure issue at mid-distance appeared to nullify any chance he had of taking the fight to teammate Rosberg out in front.
