Awesome, heavy rain from Belgium coming over!

For British and/or BBC viewers.

I have not watched F1 very often, do you guys know if Murray Walker is commentating for the German GP?

It's great to hear him again though I will admit, he sounds more like his age after watching a YouTube video.

Murray might have retired, but he still commentates on every Grand Prix.... In our hearts. I mean, come on, when those lights go out, who doesnt have the urge to shout 'AND IT'S GO GO GO!'

Wow Alobso great overtake

 

[Luke McVicar]

This race is epic!

Hopefully rain will fall soon.

 

[Ivo Simons]

What a move from Hamilton.
Thats how you do it Webber.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

Ferrari takes too long to heat the tyres.

Good to see Lewis back anyway

 

[Ivo Simons]

Think all cars have it. Undercut isnt really working as in previous races.

Mclaren heats its tires better than the Ferrari and Redbulls thats why Hamilton is able to pull away so quickly.

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

This race will be rated as one of the best in this season and maybe be included in "Abdul's all time best". Fantastic.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Yeah but he lost out on his outlap to Alonso. If they heat up way faster he probably was ahead of Alonso after his pitstop.

But so did Webber lose out to the both of them, and look how much time Hamilton has pulled on Alonso and Webber since the pass on Alonso.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Yeah but thats after 15 laps now.

 

[James Johnson]

Yeah but thats after 15 laps now.

But watch Hamiltons tires go off now because they heat up quicker = more tire wear.

 

[Ivo Simons]

I am talking about heating up tyres in outlaps, not long stints.
But i think Alonso will lose the spot when they switch to Medium.

But its all the same in the end. Tires take longer to heat which means a longer wear on the tire in the end so what they lose on heating the tires is gonna come good at the other end of the stint..

Edit: This also means the Mclaren will heat the harder tires so much better.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

I like the 1, 2, 3.

Hamilton needed a result like this more than breath, well done.

 

[Ivo Simons]

Hope Alonso didnt ran out of fuel. Otherwise he get a penalty.

No what i mean. Xose said Ferrari didnt heat up there tires quick. Wich is true offcourse and Mclaren does it faster. But its not much of a difference. Otherwise he would have been easy infront of Alonso when Alonso came out. Sure Mclaren heat up faster but not enough to make the undercut work. As you saw because he lost the position for a little moment to Alonso.

 

[Xosé Estrada]

I didn't mean that Alonso loosing position was 100% because tires but he was so clear in front that I think that played a role.

By the way he said he ran out of fuel but thale fuel had no effect at all on his race result.
