Default F1 Nurburgring

Anyone got it on?!

Heavens opened as they tore off the grid, so everyone had to pit for wets

One of the slower cars saw into the future, predicted the rain and pitted before the start - Winklehock leads!!!

Matt

P.S. everyone is going off, about 6 cars at the same corner, including hamilton

It really did sum up how dramatic this season has been so far. Another bad tactic on Hamilton's race today- went out way too early with the slicks. Still- you can't win every race (unless you're a dirty cheat like Schumacher!).

Oh yeah, and what about Ralf (the self proclaimed 3rd best driver in F1)? Another bit of dodgy driving saw him off the track. I ask yer....!

Though all the bleating about Hamilton's crash was a little over the top- it was nowhere near as serious as Kubica's in Canada.

Agree - hamilton walked away mostly unhurt (thought I bet he was sore today) whilst Kubica was quite injured. Still, it was a fast accident hamilton had, and a very unusual one (wheel gun faliure, didnt reach correct torque for tightening wheel nut or something).

Well done to Mark Webber, brilliant drive!!!

Great overtaking by alonso 5 laps from the end

Matt
