Double Points in Bahrain

A goal of Manor has been to keep a consistent pace on the track. Today, this was most certainly the case, with Felipe Massa and Pastor Maldonado both finishing the race.

After qualifying 6th and 10th, respectively, Massa and Maldonado drove clean races, finishing 6th and 7th. Team principal macus16 believes this is another step in the right direction; while it might be a challenge for Maldonado to surpass his 49 points with Williams in 2015, Massa beating his 24 from 2014 is not out of the picture. He categorized the three targets as follows:

Lower target – 30-60 points

Middle target – 61-90 points

Top class target – 91+ points

Even with this in mind, Manor’s goal is to beat BRM and hopefully a Band B team.

Next week, the Model F1 Championship travels to Turkey for the inaugural Model Turkish Grand Prix.

Super Bowl Shenanigans

To celebrate the strong finish, the Manor boys planned to hit up another local restaurant for some food. Still a little shaken by the experiences from last week, everyone was hesitant, but were saved at the last second when Haas invited every MF1 member to their garage for a Super Bowl 50 party. Unfortunately for many, they felt they were deceived, as the flyer outside the garage said “Superbowl Party”.

“I was really hoping to look at some owls,” Manor pit crewman Labradooodle commented. Some Manor workers stated they weren’t interested in the game, but they just wanted to avoid Maldonado and Massa’s cooking.

At the party, plenty of chicken wings, pizza, donuts and chips went around. Meanwhile, many engaged in bets over what would occur during the game, such as best commercial and how shit they believe the halftime show will be.

The entire garage also gave the resigning MF1 head wwesmudge a standing ovation to celebrate his tenure at the top.
