S37 Week 3-4 Recap

I would like to start by thanking everyone who liked the W1-2 Recap i did, your support encouraged me to do another one, so here is the MRC S37 week 3-4 (Unofficial) Recap where we look into what happend in the last two weeks in the Major MRC series

FORMULA 1
-We are back again with the pinickle of motorsport that is Formula 1, and for the spanish GP we have De Saint-Germain on pole, followed by Jarbas who was only 0.018 seconds off the pole time, while Morgan wasnt that far off either on 3rd place, but someone who had a terrible qualifying session is Dare Atelsek who qualified in 23th place
In the race Jarbas won once again, pushing himself up to 4th in the WDC "Jarbas is improving very fast in terms of speed and race management. Ferrari has no specific targets for him in the current season, he is free to risk, free to do errors and free to learn. In any case, I expect that he will do more good results this season." Said Ferrari team principal
The other drivers who were on the podiums are De Saint-Germain and morgan. Now to the other end of the spectrum, we had some really fast drivers doing really bad this race, one of them was Dare Atelsek who didnt improve much from the qualifying session, so he finished 20th, really dissapointing for the Slovenian rookie, and also another person who had a terrible race is Vaara who finished 23rd, his team principal commented on that by saying "Vaara is a really fast driver and brings a lot of experience to the team. I consider him one of the strongest drivers ever. His inconsistencies in the current season are only due to casual situations. He will for sure have his chance to get good results" and that's it for the spanish GrandPrix
-We move on to the monaco GP and we have a RedBull front-row lockout with Morgan on pole and De Saint-Germain in 2nd, Vaara takes 3rd for ferrari as he finally gets another good qualifying session but surprisingly his rookie teammate Jarbas, who had an impressive rookie season so far, is all the way down in 18th after a mistake in Q2 meant he didnt move on to Q3, another person who didnt move into Q3 was Thomazini who didnt even finish his Q2 Lap so he will be starting in P20, we move on to the race and we had a few DNFs as expected from monaco, the first one was from Villanova who spun out and crashed in the Tabac corner in lap 33 while his teammate Marc Montane crashed 18 laps later after a driver mistake (which i can only assume is a lockup) in Saint Devote, moving on to the end of the race, the top 2 stayed the same with Morgan taking the win and De Saint-Germain finishing 2nd with Zatacka taking the last step of the podium
-in canada we had a really wet qualifying session as the first sector proved to be hard to negotiate as many drivers lost valuable time there, Morgan dominated Q1 and Q2 but a mistake in Q3 droped him down to P6, giving away pole to his teammate who had a 1 tenth clearance from Novikov in P2. The Jordan team also doing well with both cars in the top 5 while ferrari had a 9-10 with Vaara in P9 and Jarbas in P10 while the williams found themselves near the back of the grid and with the race looking like it will still be raining, we might have a race that is really worth watching
As expected the race will start raining, this could throw the championship wide open, as Morgan might lose the championship lead this race, after just a few laps many drivers went to the pits to change tyres, as we move on to lap 23 and our championship leader Morgan DNFs out of the grandprix, so far the field is close. Anyone can win this, but in the end Vaara won, after a dissapoiting season from him he finally showed his true pace, giving ferrari their third win of the season, De Saint-Germain Takes second which means we have a new championship leader, De Saint-Germain has a 10 points gap to Morgan now, this is for sure going to be a spicy championship, let's hope it goes on to the final race
-Now let's move on to the next race in paul ricard, Novikov got pole followed by Thomazini in P2, Morgan will be starting P3 while atelsek finally having luck once again getting P4. Both Ferraris and De Saint-Germain made mistakes in Q2 and will be starting from the middle of the grid, in the race Thomazini DNFed from P2 due to a chassis problem, really dissapointing for Porsche as they could of possibly got a double podium as their other driver, Atelsek, finished second behind novikov who dominated the race

The first DNF in the race was from Greipel after a chassis problem ended his race, now going back to the lead Psikuta wins the race as austin falls down to 4th, Nishino finished second, while Ritter finished 3rd, while Redburn who started 9th finished 5th, he's been improving through out the seasons so we will see what he can do in the near future
-For the 10th race, the Richmond 400, Nishino gets pole followed closely by Drummond, the gap between these two are just 6 thousandths of a second, while Psikuta made a mistake and will be starting down in 9th, while austin having a worse qualifying session starting all the way down in 14th

In the race Psikuta took the lead and had a fair amount of space between him and P2 but a chassis problem meant he had to retire out of the race, really dissapointing for the polish driver, Drummons ended up winning with Austin and Halle getting 2nd and 3rd respectably
-Now to Dover International speedway and once again we got a really close qualifying session but carlotti takes the top of the qualifying leaderboard followed by Drummond,Austin,Fisichella. Nishino and Psikuta did some impressive laps considering they both made a mistake in the first sector.

-Moving on to martinsville, we got psikuta on pole,drummond second and austin 3rd

FORMULA E
-Next up on the calendar is uruguay, Vidmar takes pole as he once again shows domination, he is for sure going for the title once again, Fullerton is closely behind him in P2, while sincar will start from 3rd, and babinicz 4th. Fullerton wins the race as Vidmar really messed up his race and finished 4th, Sincar and Barber took the rest of podium spots
-We move on to Chile for the next race, Once again, Vidmar on pole (is it a surprise anymore?) Followed by Babinicz and Fullerton, Barber will be starting 4th, and sincar 5th
Barber dropped significentally in the race, being P6 before DNFing just 5 laps from the end due to a suspension failure, but anyways, Vidmar comes home with ANOTHER win followed by Fullerton in 2nd and Babinicz in 3rd.
-Next up is a track... in the same country... in the same city... (hey MRC team, if you are rading this, why is this a thing? Why two sentiago e-prix?) But anyways, Vidmar takes another pole position, Sincar completes the front-row, and sadly for Fullerton he qualified P12 without any mistakes, it seems like he is struggling to find a good setup for this track, nothing changed much from quali, as the race ended with another victory from Vidmar, and Fullerton didnt really improve in the race

An engine failure put an early end to our pole sitter in lap 15, so Darville is your winner for the IndianapolisGP, Followed by Szalonna in 2nd, and bell rounds up the podium
-We are now on the race that every indycar fan was looking forward to, the INDY 500, Bell takes pole with a 2 tenths advantage, but whats really intresting is P2.
