[Gensi2k]

Hi guys!

You know that F1 2015 hasn't got a career mode so to create some scenarios you need to work a lot with the fantasy!

In this first scenario, Sebastian Vettel started his first season with Ferrari. His goal is to reach the second place in drivers' championship and constructors' championship (with the help of Kimi, I hope) trying to beat at least one Mercedes GP.

Race-by-Race recap with (written) live commentary and...so, let's go!


First Scenario: Sebastian Vettel

Australia GP -Rain ruins qualifying lap of Vettel

Sebastian Vettel will start from 18th on the grid position after an error in his qualifying lap. Affected by heavy rain, the German took an excursion off the track at turn 4 and closed with 1.41.2 time, 4 seconds slower than polesitter Lewis Hamilton.

Nico Rosberg will start from the 2nd position and Seb's teammate, Kimi Raikkonen, from the third.

Vettel retires in third lap, Hamilton wins

In an amazing final lap Lewis Hamilton won the Grand Prix of Australia with just 0.035 ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg.

It was a rainy race where Seb's teammate, Raikkonen, completed the podium 10 seconds ahead.

Vettel, after a great start where recovered lot of positions, was involved in a wreck when he was hitted by Massa in a strong defense attempt. The Ferrari went into a spin, crashed into the barriers and returned, out of control, on the track where caused a major wreck involving lot of drivers (Maldonado and Kyvat both retired).

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Vettel starts from 7th in Malaysia, Hamilton again polesitter

Lewis Hamilton conquered his second consecutive pole position of the season distancing his teammate Rosberg by 2 tenths of seconds.

Kimi Raikkonen will start again from 3rd with Bottas again at his side.

Sebastian Vettel made an error when he braked too late in the penultimate corner and loose some time. He will start from 7th place.

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Hamilton again! Vettel finish 2nd with a miracle race

Lewis Hamilton won the second GP of the season but we give all credits to Sebastian Vettel.

Germans' Ferrari driver came off very well and was in third position after two bends. Massa, trying to defend from his attack, hitted us again but this time the brazilian spin and lost lot of places.

Later Vettel and Rosberg began fighting for the second position until the pit stops, when the Ferrari erred in entering pitlane that enabled Rosberg to gain a few seconds. Fortunately, Rosberg has become the protagonist of an accident during dubbing bumping Kimi Raikkonen, who was trying to return to the pit after a tyre puncture.

Now Vettel is in 4th place in the Championship behind Ham and Ros, but ahead of Kimi.

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Third consecutive pole position for Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton will start from pole position in the Grand Prix of China.

Nico Rosberg finished second while Kimi Raikkonen will start from third position (in the season it's always been that way so far)

Sebastian Vettel will start fourth. The German was fastest in the first two sectors of the track but has committed a serious error in the last turn

compromising its acceleration in the final straight

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Hamilton crashes, Ferrari dominates

Controversy coming soon! Vettel and Raikkonen dominate the Chinese Grand Prix but Lewis Hamilton said he was very angry with Seb for what happened.

After a great start Vettel jumped to first place but behind him, Hamilton had a hurry to catch up. So, at the end of the longest straight of the track attempted the attack outside of the curve. Vettel did not expect that the driver of the Mercedes was in that position and widened its trajectory, sending him against the barriers.

After this episode Vettel lost some positions but was good at remount surpassing teammate Raikkonen, who was leading the race, with 4 laps to go. The two went hand in hand but the Finn never looked capable of winning today. Now Hamilton continues to lead the Championship ahead of Vettel and Rosberg.

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Vettel 4th again in Bahrain quali, Hamilton for the 4th consecutive pole

OK, I think that Lewis Hamilton will win the pole position from here at the end of the season

This time, however, there was a bit of a battle, with both Mercedes and Ferrari in a margin of six-tenths of a second. Raikkonen will start third, Vettel fourth ... Finnish will pass the German for Championship perspective?

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Nico's revenge on Seb in "German battle"

And here is the second retirement of the season. And this time we're really angry. Rosberg, at the end of the second lap, hit the back of Vettel's car sending it against the barriers: a lost wheel and inevitable withdrawal. Stable order? The Mercedes was afraid that Hamilton wouldn't win the title and told to Rosberg the order of smashing out Seb? I don't know, but there will be revenge ... I'm sure.

Vettel conquers first pole position of the season in Catalunya

OK, Lewis Hamilton is beatable ( on qualifying)

Sebastian Vettel earned his first pole position of the season with an incredible lap. Lewis Hamilton, obviously, will start at his side on Sunday Race. Nico Rosberg was third and Kimi Raikkonen fourth.

Will Vettel win the race and mend the gap with Mercedes' duo?

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Vettel wins in Spain, Hamilton third

Sebastian Vettel has won the Spanish dominating from the first to the last lap, having started from pole position. The German champion immediately took a good margin ahead of Lewis Hamilton, appeared in a bad day and passed by teammate Rosberg too.

Right between Vettel and Rosberg came the only tense moment, with the Ferrari driver founding Rosberg, who was exiting from the pit lane, very slow in the middle of the track at turn one and he narrowly avoided putting the car on the grass. The only thrill of a Masterful race!

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Rosberg beats Hamilton, Vettel...

Nico Rosberg won the Monaco Grand Prix, the sixth round of the Formula 1 World Championship 2015. Mercedes' driver preceded the teammate and Championship leader, Lewis Hamilton, while Valtteri Bottas has finished third, earning his first podium of the season.

Unlucky and unholy race for Sebastian Vettel: starting from the 5th place after a bad qualifying lap, he had too much hurry to gain positions and slammed the wall during the second round, puncturing the tyre. Back in the race again after pit-stop he hit the barriers being forced to retire. Rosberg recovered some points on Hamilton in the standings and the fight for the final victory seems restricted to two riders of the silver arrow.

Re: Gensi's F1 2015 Diary

Vettel crashes in last lap, Raikkonen wins

OK, at least the other Ferrari won, but what a disappointment for Sebastian Vettel.

Started from pole Seb seemed headed for victory after a furious fight with Rosberg and Hamilton were both Mercedes' drivers were behind because of a contact. But bad luck has got on the way and thus before Vettel crashed into barriers with the tires ended up ruining the front wing, and then he punctured a tire during the last lap. What a shame, what a shame ...

Rosberg wins in Austria and catches Championship' lead


...but another unlucky race for Seb.

Vettel started again from the pole position while Lewis Hamilton was involved in a bad accident at the start of the race (will be forced to make three stops).

Vettel kept the lead but one lap before the pit stop window has made a terrible mistake by trying to overtake on the right a lapped driver that was returning in pitlane. The impact forced Seb to take one full turn at a slow pace before replacing tires and nose.

Vettel recovered up to fifth place but on the last lap, while preparing to overtake Daniel Ricciardo for the 4th place, has committed a new error by hitting the Red Bull and puncturing a tire. He has managed to stay in the points by closing tenth, but remain many regrets for another race that he could win. Great race for Will Stevens who conquered two points with the terrible Manor


Rosberg took the lead of the standings followed by Hamilton and Raikkonen. Vettel is fifth, even behind Bottas.

Seb's crash helps Kimi in Great Britain

Another pole for Seb and another crash.

Kimi Raikkonen won the British Grand Prix but should definitely thank the suicidal behavior of Sebastian Vettel. The German driver has rear-ended Lewis Hamilton while the latter was returning in the pits and then he sent off the track Nico Rosberg causing him to retire. Vettel finished in the second place Grand Prix but the penalty demoted him to third, behind Bottas.

Winning seems a curse...
