2012 Formula One German Grand Prix

[Diego Lopez]

jesus that mechanic in that pole lap punching the air...thought he was goign to start punching people lol.

well Ferraris decision was crucial to the team, we all kenw form the get go Alonso was faster at the beginnig of the season, so it was a very good team order, seeing that he alone can go for the wdc running.

Anyways, love this track, fast, fast, fast. Pole? who knows. Webber, if he can keep ahead of Vettel then its a good thing he signed for 2013, but after that If Newey cant deliver, then I say switch teams. Remember Neweys car is winning them more than they can really do, not sayiny their skill plays role, but clearly adds up more witha better car.

 

[Jordi Casademunt]

I'm hoping for a Mercedes/Lotus/McLaren win to keep things fun. Maybe even Sauber, if Sergio manages to get a good qualifying.

The problem with the STR is that, with 2 rookies in the team, there's no real way to measure them and the car. Mind you, the car is likely a pig.

Also, still pissed they moved Jim Clark's memorial.

Guys it looks like Mr.Newey is trying to get the 2011 effects to full

Looking at the WDC, it was wise. Looking at the rules at the time...

Also, still pissed they moved Jim Clark's memorial.

Moved it? I thought it was still on the same spot as it always have been.

Last year Lot of Teams Struggled with Temp as they can't get Heat into tires at Nurburgring and this time we are Heading into Hockenheim do you expect the same kind of Condition's will be faced??

 

[ufunacaoenn]

Nope, both tracks have complitly different corners and they brake not that often here then as they do on Nurburgring so I don't think that tyre temp will be an issue.

 

[Markus Neumann]

The two regions in which the tracks are in are also not the same. The Nürburgring is in the Eiffel, which is famous for its unstable and usually rather cold and wet weather.
In the region around the Hockenheimring, it tends to be much warmer but also a little windy sometimes (I know, because my university is very close to it ).

5 place grid penalty of Grosjean due to a gearbox change.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Grosjean can make it up for sure can't doubt his ability

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Aaargh, we still have to wait more than a week for this race. I start to get addicted to those weekly F1 races

@Ecclestone: 52 grand prix' please

 

[Michael Brown]

What's the tire allocation for this event? I've heard Pirelli is going to bring their experimental hard tire to this Grand Prix because they never got the chance to test it in Silverstone.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Soft And Medium for Here
@Bram Hengeveld Don't tell this to Bernie please

 

[Calum McLure]

@Ecclestone: 52 grand prix' please

I'd vote for that, Sundays without a grand prix just feel wrong

I think drivers win enough money to be forced to work, let's say, 50 weeks per year

He should be excited, because Vettel beat Alonso by 0.002s!
Vettel's lap: 1:13.791
Alonso: 1:13.793

oh yeah i know he is, i was just saying without audio my buddy that doesnt know crap about F1 was just mentioning that.

I wonder if the option "experimental" tyres affected the Ferraris performance, dont they have like a wider base? and since they are running the regular tyre non expermental tyres in germany I wonder what the pace will really be.

I don´t think they ran the experimental hard compund in Silverstone.
If they did, it was guaranteed not used in the race. Pirelli does not want to influence the racing by introducing a tire mid-season that might help one team.

They planned to run the experimental hard tire in practice in Silverstone, but there was no dry practice. Apparently they're going to try the experimental hard tire for Practice in Hockenheim.
