Sebastian Vettel has won his home Grand Prix at the Nurburgring despite close challenges from both Lotus cars throughout the second half of the race. Kimi Raikkonen finished a close second with Romain Grosjean ending third, just ahead of Alonso.
I can't agree with that point. Silverstone is massively different to Nürburgring. The German track is much slower and puts a lot less energy into the tyres.SamH123 wrote:I wouldn't expect any significant pecking order changes given the track looks similar-ish to Silverstone?
Lewis was mighty in 2011 but I don't think you can classify 1 scoring finish out of 3 attempts "liking" the trackgray41 wrote:Lewis likes this track and with Mercedes looking so good he could be on for his first win with the team.
Sure, my comment was just a question really, this track isn't on the F1 2012 gameWhiteBlue wrote:I can't agree with that point. Silverstone is massively different to Nürburgring.

I don't know anymore what Lewis has to do to win a race, maybe praying.gray41 wrote:Lewis likes this track and with Mercedes looking so good he could be on for his first win with the team.
It's true that the majority of the lap is dominated by low speed corners but there are some fast sections. Turn 5 and the Schumacher essess, as well as turn 11 are very quick. To do good in the Nurburgring you need a car with good breaks, and a good balance because the track is neither front or rear limited. Another thing that makes this track very tricky is the fact that the apexes are not obvious.WhiteBlue wrote:I can't agree with that point. Silverstone is massively different to Nürburgring.

Yes agree or Another one for Ros and perhaps Mercedez closing in on RedBull. It's possible. If they keep getting their car to every GP in the form it has been. Mercedez did well bringing in all the Changes they did. Ros and Ham wow what a team.gray41 wrote:Lewis likes this track and with Mercedes looking so good he could be on for his first win with the team.
