Welcome to Heppenheim... errrr... Hockenheim!

[andrew]

I really hate this track for some reason.

It's not a patch on the old layout.

[geetface9]

Can you believe we're not even at the half way mark yet? So much racing still to come.

Can you believe there's still a 5-week break coming up?

Can you believe we've still got two more races in Fox?

Why must you remind me?! Luckily the coverage is better than what they did in 2010....still not as good as speed by any means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The month long break in august WILL cause me to contemplate murder/suicide

In the interest of keeping others safe, I humbly suggest the reverse order...

Looking forward to this race. The new layout, whilst unspectacular in comparison to the former long, blasting straights through the forest, STILL offers ample opportunity to pull a good pass.
.....

It can throw up some pretty good racing.

Yep. I still fondly remember Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso racing side by side through about 3 or 4 corners all the way back in 2004. Good moment, that one.

I also have plenty of images of cars buried in the turn 1 barriers, including Schumacher, Burti, Fisichella, Raikkonen (on more than one occasion), etc, etc

Button having to keep one hand on his helmet to stop it getting sucked off as he chased Alonso down. Great stuff.

Absolutely. Lucky Strike-sponsored BAR vs Mild Seven-sponsored Renault. While Marlboro-sponsored Ferrari was miles ahead up the road. Hard to believe that's 8 years ago now!

5000th post!

Ah the days of fags in F1, the liveries just aren't the same any more. Maybe if coca cola do come in they could change that, if it's Mclaren it might have to be diet coke tho.

congrats on the 5000

Just noticed your location Stonemonkey - must be a tad warm up there...

[stonemonkey]

It's always sunny but the beaches are crap.

1600K? Just a bit toasty!!!

[stonemonkey]

So what's going to happen here, can Lotus get their first win, can Mclaren improve on their Silverstone performance, is it going to be a RB Ferrari fight again, can Merc and drivers do anything for the German fans or could it be a surprise win from the likes of FI or Sauber?

[scotty]

Ferrari vs Red Bull again. Williams quick too. A lot of slow corners at this track.

[LewEngBridewell]

It would be nice if McLaren were to pull their socks up a bit. Otherwise, we should be set for an entertaining race, there's overtaking opportunities aplenty, and we've seen some pretty thrilling races on this layout too. 2008 springs immediately to mind

How magnanimous would Massa be?

Hmmm...Would he let Alonso through...Maybe, maybe not...I don't know, HE SHOULDN'T ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!

And has Rob explained what that means to Massa, as promised on the slowing down lap? Time will tell..
