2012 German GP - Hockenheim

[bhall]

Hamilton has retired.

Strategic retirement. No points means no need to finish the race.

[Hail22]

Alonso has been told to light the tyres up (run an advantage).

Which means Hirohide Hamashima is doing his job (investigating tyre profile depth etc).

Oil pressure slightly low in the gearbox...


BUTTON TOLD TO CONSERVE FUEL!

[clipsy1H]

3 fastest lap in a row for Schumacher. He should get Perez....

just perez and that mean p6 poor.

[Joie de vivre]

button could never win this race, just too slow.

[LionKing]

Yes Mercedes is the 6th fastest car in the grid after McLaren, RBR, Ferrari, Lotus and Sauber

Just a tad better than FI.

[Hail22]

button could never win this race, just too slow.

He could but the amount of fuel left in his tank is letting him down...

Alonso has been told to run to the death...so its risky...

[Joie de vivre]

button could defend the 2nd place

[bhall]

McLaren told Button the win was possible. Alonso then took the f___ off and Vettel began to salivate.

[simieski]

Vetel passed Button off the race track?

[zgred]

[SeijaKessen]

This is ridiculous...this is why these tracks suck with all this tarmac...shouldn't be able to have no penalty for going off the track to pass.

[GrizzleBoy]

Anyone want to tell Vettel that he actually needs to be driving on the track?

[Hail22]

Vettel may be under investigation for over-taking off the circuit and the revised rule states any over-take completed off the track will incur a penalty...uh oh...

[morefirejules08]

vettel off the road during the pass! surely illegal, well unless you are driving a red bull

[bhall]

Masterful race from Alonso.
