  1. The problems and battles between other drivers have made things easy for Rosberg so far in this season. Another clear victory for him. Hamilton made an impressive rise from 10th place to 2nd. Kimi made couple of small mistakes but 3rd place was still pretty much maximun performance for him today. Mercedes was too strong in this track.
  2. Rosberg-Bottas-Räikkönen is the top three after todays qualifying. All of them have Finnish citizenship Vettel was second fastest but has a 5 grid penalty.
  3. Bonus: a photo of the Old Town of Porvoo I took through the bus window on the way home:
  4. Part 3: Back in Helsinki We didn't spend much time in Helsinki, but here's few photos I took as we walked through the city to the bus terminal:
  5. Part 2: Stockholm Heading to the Old Town: The royal palace: Some of the streets were very narrow: The 82 white stones in the red building are said to symbolize the people executed at this square in the Stockholm Bloodbath in 1520: Storkyrkan (The Great Church): The German Church:
  6. We had a nice trip to Stockholm this week. Here are some photos. Part 1: Pictures from the sea:
  7. Another good race in China last weekend. Usually the Chinese Grand Prix has been boring but not this year. Everything seems to work for Rosberg at the moment. Easy victory for him for the third time this season. Ferrari, on the other hand, just keeps wasting opportunities. I think Vettel was wrong when he was blaming Kvyat for the crash at the start. At least Vettel and Räikkönen made a good recovery. The overtakes by Kimi in the last laps were beautiful to watch.
  8. Nice race today. Very good job by Kimi, 8th podium for him in Bahrain. He now has total of 81 podiums, more than Ayrton Senna. That Haas car is fast, faster than anyone could have imagined!
  9. Mercedes front row for tomorrows race. Let's hope the Ferraris can challenge like they did in Australia.
  10. Todays F1 race was promising. Ferrari seemed to be faster than Mercedes but they practically gave the victory away by choosing the wrong tire after the red flag. It's amazing that Alonso was able to walk away unharmed from this...
  11. New qualifying system...Q1 and Q2 worked well, but Q3 was a total farce. They should change Q3 back to what it was last year.
  12. F1 season 2016 is here! First two practices didn't tell us much because of the weather. If the conditions are similar tomorrow, anything can happen, especially with the new qualifying system.
  13. Results from the last four days of Formula 1 tests. Mercedes still didn't use the two softer compounds. New season will start in Australia two weeks from now Day 1: http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/3/f1-testing-rosberg-fastest-mercedes-tuesday.html Day 2: http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/3/bottas-fastest-as-haas-run-into-trouble-on-day-two.html Day 3: http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/3/raikkonen-fastest-on-penultimate-day-of-testing.html Day 4: http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/3/ferrari-fastest-as-pre-season-testing-concludes-at-barcelona.html
  14. Thanks! This was taken on Monday at the shore of Lake Saimaa: These two I took today when I was skiing:
  15. Track & field Finnish indoor championships
  16. Another beautiful winter day!
  17. Here's results from the first four days of Formula 1 testing. Really difficult to say anything conclusive based on these. Mercedes, for example, didn't use the softer compounds. Next tests (March 1-March 4) will probably tell us more.

  18. My car got through the inspection without any notifications
  19. Yes! I think that majority of Finns have. Sauna and different traditions associated with it are an important part of Finnish identity. Sauna is actually one of the few words of Finnish origin used in English and other laguages, too. Weather today is cloudy, temperature -1 C.
  20. F1 tests start tomorrow in Barcelona. Always exciting to see how things have developed between the seasons.
  21. Weather was absolutely glorious this week!
  22. Ski jumping world cup from Lahti, Finland.
