Fernando Alonso has won the German GP but only thanks to Felipe Massa. The Brazilian took the lead at the start and remained at the front until Massa as asked to let the Spaniard through because he was faster. Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.

All top 10 are on options AFAIK. Michael is the first who can take primes.Darknight wrote:Given the huge difference in compounds between tires, which driver is starting on what tire? Are all top 10 cars on the softs?
Yeah, and agree about him being stupid down the start straight as well. Far too interested in trying to fighten and block Alonso which cost him another place to Massa and almost caused Button to run into the back of him.Goran2812 wrote:wow, vettel really slowed that formation lap down...
He's also travelling further by moving across the track - he's losing that distance to the car he's trying to block.Michiba wrote:That's two races in a row where vettel has wasted his pole position by trying to take out P2 yet comes off second best. What's the advantage of doing that anyway? He's going off line which affects his acceleration.
He says he did the best job he could, not that he screwed up. Any more specific info please?myurr wrote:Yup:komninosm wrote:Did Hamilton or McLaren actually say that he screwed up on his last lap?

Why must Vettel prove to me every race that he's an @$$? [-Xmyurr wrote:Yeah, and agree about him being stupid down the start straight as well.

Is that slow formation lap that Vettel insists on doing costing them on the start? That's another bad getaway for Vettel.
