I recon it could swing either way, different sites are saying different things with the weather, as always!

I'm not too bothered, my grandstand is covered :hehe: Would make for a pretty good race though, Judging by the mass of rain and clouds and thunder etc etc etc we've had in the UK, it could be pretty epic if that reaches germany, provided they don't cut the race. That is if it rains at all. You know what the weathers like :thumbup:

Extract from Mark Webber's recent BBC Column where he looks ahead to the Nurburgring:

As for the state of play in F1, well, I'm ready for another close contest at the German Grand Prix this weekend.

We're not expecting our car to be weak at any circuit now and it's a very exciting time for Red Bull.

There was a lot of talk after Silverstone that I had to beat my team-mate Sebastian Vettel in Germany to retain the balance in the team but that's not the case.

It is too early to start backing one driver, and the team are being brilliant with that.

It's only natural that there is a bit of momentum with Sebastian within Red Bull because he took the chequered flag in China and Britain.

You can't escape the fact that it would be different if I had won a race, but if I can qualify a bit higher and keep up the consistency then I'm confident there will be a win just around the corner.

Sebastian is only 3.5 points ahead of me in the drivers' championship which means mathematically I still have a chance to do very well.

I'm staying relaxed but I'm not just going to settle for staying close to him.

I want to play my role in the team as we aim to close down Jenson Button and Brawn's lead in the championships and when Sebastian has made mistakes I've been there to take points for the team.

The battle for the drivers' championship is much tougher for us because, the way he's been driving, I don't see Jenson losing the fight himself.

He has been so impressively consistent in all sessions and all races and just doesn't make mistakes.

Button has a 23-point lead in the championship and that kind of lead means he can afford not to win points in a few races and still stay ahead.

If he loses the world title now, it will be down to a problem from the team, not him.

Brawn are still catchable in the constructors' standings. There is no doubt they are on the front foot with a 30-point lead but it is do-able.

The reality is these are unchartered waters for Red Bull but there is still a lot to play for and I'm not giving up on anything.

Mark Webber was talking to Sarah Holt


I'd be surprised if Red Bull don't have to choose between the two of them over the next few races. I realise that both still have legitimate chances to win the title, but if they continue to fight each other they will only take points off each other. By the time they do choose, Button could be home and dry...
