F1 German Grand Prix......Spoiler Alerts!

Looked like Ferrari were going to be a sure thing for locking out the front row.........How things can go wrong

Lewis took full advantage of Ferrari's problems and stuck it on pole even though he was fighting a cold, or as we like to call it...........Man Flu

Looks like a wet race in store for us, that could really sort the Men from the Boys.

Being the cynic I am, I wonder how much Mercedes paid Ferrari to not spoil their anniversary

Lights out and it's a rather delayed and wet Go Go Go

coolcat · 28th July 2019, 13:23

Wow................Squeeky backside time

coolcat · 28th July 2019, 13:24

Didn't take long for a safety car to be deployed!

Every race should be in the wet

Choose your tyres wisely peeps

Wow...........That was a cracking race

Three races in a row have all been terrific.....We won't mention France from four races back though

Saw the highlights when I got back from work last night, and what an eventful race. Some extreme conditions, for the drivers and the teams; great to see such a difference - two seconds to stop/change wheels/depart, to almost a minute for Lewis.

What a crazy stupid track section which, yes off the track limits, but is like a skid pan if you get on it.

Some great racing, some fine tests for the younger drivers.
