After 19 races across the world, the 2017 F1 season comes to an end this weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. With the championships sealed last month in Mexico, we look at the year’s talking points: Hamilton is the greatest this generation Not too long back, Michael Schumacher’s 68 poles and 91 wins seemed like it would defy another generation. But over the last four years, Hamilton has run rampage over the record books with 72 poles and 62 wins. In this time, he has won nearly 50 per cent of the races each year. This season he has won nine of 19, and could finish again with double-digit wins. While he is tied with Sebastian Vettel on world titles (4), he has a 15-win advantage over his arch rival. With stable regulations for the next three years, those 91 wins don’t seem too far away. It’s safe to say he is the best this generation, but, just 32, he could end up among the greatest ever.

Abdu Rabb dropped by to offer his best wishes, it was perhaps a déjà vu moment at Arjun’s apartment in the city. The Minister had come calling that day too after the CBSE results were declared. Along with the Education Minister and presspersons, there was another presence in Arjun’s house — that of his father and former naval officer Balgovind Kunhiraman who joined in the celebrations via a Skype video link from Abu Dhabi.
