PODCAST: Our full 2010's Decade Review mini-series!
- Nicolás Quarles van Ufford
Last week, we released our Decade Review mini-podcast series to look back at the past 10 years of Formula 1! As we start a new decade today, we took all four episodes and put them in one place here in case you've missed one or more of them!
#1: 2010-2011 - The Rise of Sebastian Vettel
First off, it's 2010 and 2011, the years where Sebastian Vettel went from talent to the youngest world champion in F1 history as Fernando Alonso tried to hunt him down at Ferrari.
#2: 2012-2013 - Vettel dominance & 2012 chaos!
We hop back in the time machine and come out in 2012, a year which famously started with seven different race winners in the first seven years. 2013 was the year where Vettel really asserted his dominance, however, winning the last nine races of the season, a record-breaking streak which still stands to this day.
#3: 2014-2016 - Hamilton vs. Rosberg
2014, 2015 and especially 2016 are widely known as the Hamilton-Rosberg years. They shared the garage at the utterly dominant Mercedes works team and fought aggressively on a weekly basis at the front of the grid. The relationship between the two youth friends soured as Hamilton won the title in 2014 and 2015.
In 2016, the elbows really came out as the two Silver Arrows collided frequently, and after winning his first drivers' championship, Rosberg immediately retired from F1.
#4: 2017-2019 - Hamilton greatness & the rise of Max
In the final episode of the series, the guys look back at the final three years of this decade, a period of time which is known for the dominance of Lewis Hamilton. In the past few years, the Brit has really cemented his status as one of the if not the greatest driver of all time, winning three consecutive titles between 2017 and 2019 Two new stars have risen recently too, however, in the form of Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. Can the two youngsters be the ones to knock Hamilton off the throne?
