RB looking faster than in Silverstone, its a pity that Ricciardo must begin the race last.
And I don't think people will be jumping out of his way as they did for any of the top 6 cars in some previous races. This track is not so easy to overtake on, or less so anyway.

Ferrari run most of the session on the soft tyre, being fast both on qualy & short race stint ...
So they try to qualify on this tyre in Q2 and attempting an S-US one-stop race or an S-US-US strategy had a similar China VSC appears later in the race...

I don't know about always but I enjoyed spectacle of Ricciardo's overtaking in Baku, unfortunately it was the same car, same tyres and the same non Mercedes, Ferrari engine :cry: . RB enjoyed four attempts so much that they wanted to see the encore.

The Hockenheim circuit won't produce the ers recovery issues that Renault powered cars had at Silverstone. For Daniel look to turn 2 and probably 4.

He is usually great overtaking so I am sure we will enjoy it.

I might have missed something, but its a long time since I've seen a team need to stick high vis on most of the lower car.

I knew the bulls would be fast around here, sector 2 isn't enough to erase the pace advantage they have in sectors 1 & 3. Even with the qualifying deficit Max or Dan both have a chance to notch up another win, should anyone make a mistake up front, hell even a bad strategy call.

You must have missed that memo saying Dan is taking fresh PU parts this weekend and is most likely going to start last.

VER winning isn't that outlandish, especially given the likely wet qualifying...

Vettel told that he was sliding in the last sector. Besides that he was happy with the car. But this would explain the (bit unusual) blistering.
