Alright, so let’s talk about the 2017 Formula 1 season. Man, what a year that was! I remember it like it was yesterday. I got hooked on F1 a while back, and 2017 was one of those seasons that kept me glued to the screen every race weekend.
First, I started by getting all the information I could. I grabbed the schedule, the list of drivers and teams, and even dug into some pre-season testing results. I just wanted to know everything. I made myself a little calendar to make sure I wouldn’t miss a single race. You know how it is, life gets in the way sometimes.
Then, the season kicked off in Melbourne. I watched every practice session, every qualifying, and of course, every race. I even started keeping a notebook. Sounds nerdy, I know, but I jotted down lap times, strategies, and any drama that happened on and off the track. And boy, was there drama!
The Rivalry
The main thing I focused on was the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. These two were going at it all season long. It was a real nail-biter. I followed their every move, analyzed their interviews, and even read tons of articles about them. I felt like I was part of their teams!
The Other Drivers
But it wasn’t just about those two. I also kept an eye on the other drivers. Guys like Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas, and Kimi Räikkönen were always in the mix, and I made sure to track their progress too. There were some awesome overtakes and battles throughout the year, and I documented all of them in my notebook.
Highlights of My Tracking
- Monaco Grand Prix: I just loved how difficult it is to race there and how important it is. So classy and full of history. I made notes of who did what in every lap of that race.
- The Monza incident: Oh boy, that qualifying session in Monza was something else. Hamilton’s pole lap in the rain was just insane. I watched that over and over, and wrote down all my thoughts about it.
- Best Overtakes and Battles: So many good ones in 2017! I kept a special section in my notebook just for these. Every time I saw a great overtake, I’d pause, rewind, and write down every detail.
- The Underdogs: It was also fun to follow drivers like Lance Stroll and see how they developed through the season.
- The Numbers Game: As the races went by, I started to get really into the numbers. I compared lap times, calculated point differences, and predicted who might win the championship. It was like a game within the game.
The Ending
In the end, I watched Hamilton clinch the title in Brazil. It was such an exciting moment, and I felt like I was right there with him. I closed my notebook for the season, feeling satisfied with all the notes and observations I had made.
So yeah, that’s how I experienced the 2017 F1 season. It was a blast, and I can’t wait to do it all over again each year. I learned so much that year, and it made me an even bigger fan of the sport. I still look back at my notes from time to time, just to relive those moments.
