2016 German Grand Prix - Hockenheim, 29-31 July

Merc should be more competitive in Spa then Monza, everyone for example will be on lowest downforce possible in Italy, but I think Monza offers more chances to overtake per lap. What good could do to Ham to be 1sec faster in Spa T2 if he's stuck behind someone. Auch have to factor the PU upgrade, if it comes right after the summer

This is the Hockenheim thread...maybe offer your opinion about their relative performance on this track?

Long run trend seemed to be the same on softs. RB seems to be ahead of Ferrari.

several drivers (above all button) critic verstappen defense last gp (post here because the article refers to driver briefing holding at hockenheim)

Every driver that was asked pretty much said that it was dangerous

baiting comment has been removed

So this is the next race thread that turs out as whine/hate thread about drivers?

Swerving around in the braking zone is action i guess.... priceless

The ADD millennials and their constant need for action, excitement, and spectacle is what's killing F1. Every race we get a bunch of them whining the race was boring.........

Agreed
So thoughts on whiting saying that a double yellow flag=a red flag?
Kind of gives on the impression that what rosberg did was not above board

In Hungary everything pointed that RB will be faster, but Ferrari was clearly faster during race.
On this track it's possible to overtake, so I expect Ferrari to be in front at the end.

Just to close this out so we can talk about the German GP, Button is also a director for the GPDA so he's expected to be "more busy talking."

I think it was inevitable, as a lot of the top drivers commented how it set a bad precedence.

Since when Rosberg went to the Bell helmets?

The STUPIDITY is really boundless in F1. Just think about that for one minute. EVERY TIME there's a double yellow, every time, they Red flag, the session is automatically stopped, ALL the cars have to file back to the pits, and then the session has to be restarted later. For even something as common as a spin. Now imagine this can happen literally five times or more in a session. Red flag. Do you know how common double yellows are in some sessions?! All because formula one cannot just decree the minimum lift off expectations, say 'look this is it', and let proceedings go on

He was testing it out a few races ago.

A bit of brown stuff in the eye for Jenson there. I wonder who it spewed from?

[cooken]

Maybe he tried to read the F1T race threads.

Maybe he tried to read the F1T race threads.

Maybe he tried to read his own twitter posts?

So it was big teams (Merc, Ferrari, Red Bull) that don't like track limits. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-te ... ]Whiting's resistance to the track limits freedom has upset Ferrari in particular, with team principal Maurizio Arrivabene making it clear that he, Red Bull and Mercedes were going to lobby Ecclestone over the matter.

"We had nothing to do with it," said Arrivabene about the decision to keep track limits in place. "Yesterday we discussed that we will try to have a 'wild' weekend because this track has adequate run off areas.[/quote]It doesn't change the logic. The horror of applying all the rules uniformly really scares them, especially Ferrari. Also stop calling him 'Bernie' he should not be called Bernie for the last 95 years , What a kindergarten: We're going to Charlie, we're going to Bernie. He's going to fix it. I bet they told their drivers to go off on purpose.
