We have a solid weekend ahead with more Isle of Man TT action, new Top Gear America, the regulars and F1 returns to Canada. I've been burning it at both ends so I won't get to much into it the recap this time around, but the controversy around Monaco was Nico winning for a second year straight all seemingly due to an off during Q3 which kept Hams from having a go at besting Nico's time. While pole definitely improves your chances of winning Monaco tremendously, Hams was definitely slower than Nico over the entire race and had to fend off young Ricciardo through the checkered flag. Nico squeaks back into the Driver's Championship lead and Montreal will surely continue the inter-team battle of Mercedes AMG domination. The current standings are as follows: Rosberg, Hamilton (-4), Alonso (-61), Ricciardo (-68), Hulkenburg (-75). If you're paying attention you've noticed that despite his strong drives as of late, Vettel is no longer in the top five. Enjoy your weekends.
