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.

A bit of double moral from Horner in my opinion. When it came to the car and "torque problems", a grey area, it was the right choice by the stewards to not penalise them. But when Hamilton unlap himself, which again is a grey area, its wrong.Bomber_Pilot wrote:Anyone watching Sky right now? Horner arguing with Hill and Herbert
I'm sure Mclaren will argue this etc and it may incur a bigger penalty (time penalty for this race and a 5 place grid penalty for the next race) but thats probably too harsh...GrizzleBoy wrote:What about the fact that Vettel was constantly using the run off areas as a part of the track lap after lap?
It wasn't just that one time. He was "going wide" almost every opportunity and was gaining time all the while.
i don't think Hamilton decided. Red Bull was dead slow in the speed traps so he passed Vettel. Ferrari's were near the top in the speed traps so he couldn't pass him at the hairpin.Bomber_Pilot wrote:RTL presenters and Lauda complaining about Hamilton overtaking Vettel and not Alonso
I think surely is just about the only word that cannot be applied to anything that relates to the 2012 season.Shrieker wrote:Surely it's horseface's to lose now.
I'm with you on that one. Alonso even defended once on the entry into the hairpin against Ham. But I find it quite funny, how on RTL everytime when Vettel isn't doing well, everyone or everything is being blamed and when he does well it's just down to him being superior...Gerhard Berger wrote:i don't think Hamilton decided.

That's why i have RTL on mute and i watch Sky over the net, because as crappy as RTL is it's still better than what we have to endure in Slovenia, with our presenter talking about where can you find the cheapest place to eat at the certain venue, or who is dating who etc. Intelligence + Talent made this guy leading the championship ! Well deserved win ..Alonso acknowledged that Vettel's dice with Hamilton had been handy for him, and that he would have swiftly let the McLaren past if necessary.
"I knew that if Lewis was close enough with the DRS and trying to overtake, I had no problem to leave the space," said Alonso. "I knew he was not in the race. We didn't want to risk anything. For me it was a good position to have Hamilton between me and Sebastian.
"Having Hamilton there it meant Sebastian was 2.5s behind approaching the pitstop, so I tried to keep Lewis there."
