Gesticulating a lot - Christine's Rankings, Week 3 // Alonso and Ricciardo make great strides up the table
Published by Christine
The racing action continued in Bahrain this past weekend, which allowed us some more great driver interactions - with each other, with the media and with the fans. It makes up for an incredibly quiet week beforehand, and gives us a change at the top of the rankings table.
This week we've got some fun and games with a Massa quiz, as well as the Toro Rosso boys trying not to punch each other, and an epic airport ride. Don't forget, if you have suggestions, there's a form waiting just for you.
Movements for Week 3
- +2 Lewis Hamilton: He's being a bit grumpy about Nico's wins here, but I do agree with him that five victories over two separate seasons doesn't mean as much as everyone says.
- -10 Lewis Hamilton: I mean, look. What was he thinking?
- +1 Nico Hülkenberg: Being a bit cheeky about Sergio Pérez's football skills in the Force India podcast.
- +2 Fernando Alonso: Confronting Johnny Herbert about whether he should retire or not. Awkward!
- +3 Lewis Hamilton: Sticking it to the man by posting Snapchat videos from inside the paddock. Or trying to, at least.
- +2 Carlos Sainz Jr: Having great fun and being remarkably honest during a fun karting challenge for Sky Sports F1.
- +2 Max Verstappen: Having great fun and being remarkably honest during a fun karting challenge for Sky Sports F1.
- +5 Daniel Ricciardo: Being pretty awesome around the airport and a bonus BTTF reference!
- +4 Felipe Massa: Eight points on F1.com's Grill the Grid quiz is not bad at all! Boo for not knowing Rob Smedley's home town though.
- +1 Daniil Kvyat: There's something about this simple pre-practice video I like, even though he's blatantly just showing off the view from his hotel room.
- +2 Jenson Button: Practicing his TV presenting skills again in the second episode of Honda Racing TV.
