Fernando Alonso has won the German GP after leading every single lap of the race. The Spaniard start from pole, and while being under threat, he was never passed. Sebastian Vettel finished in second place while Jenson Button is third. Their result though is still under investigation, as Vettel's passing move was a little dubious.
I thought most drivers stayed in while others set time while the track was dry at the start? Then they clamored out as the rain started closing in and they realised they'd get less dry runtime.beelsebob wrote:So it's only practice 1... but it looks a lot like McLaren have found a big chunk of time there.
Like the commentators said...they've looked good early on for years. They hit the ground running because their sim work puts them right on the ball....if they don't get reeled in after FP3, then perhaps they've found somethingbeelsebob wrote:So it's only practice 1... but it looks a lot like McLaren have found a big chunk of time there.

We don't know of fuel loads either.raymondu999 wrote:The rain was intermittent, and Button did his laptime in the first dry spell before any rain. Most the front runners were doing their usual "wait after the first 30 minutes before even considering going out" practice and got caught out. I'm not saying McLaren haven't made a step forward, but I'm saying the session is inconclusive.
Bottas was also on course to top Button's time until he crashed out.
Pretty sure he wasn't, maybe you read the times wrongraymondu999 wrote: Bottas was also on course to top Button's time until he crashed out.

Only Vergne, Webber, Pic did their best times on Test compound. All other drivers did it on normal medium compound.mx_tifoso wrote:Or which type of hard compound was being run. Or much else.
Yes, I already knew that but I somehow forgot about it when I posted.SpliT wrote:...
