Hamilton's on the dirty side of the track. I expect Vettel to nip past at the start being on the clean side.

What are the odds on Alonso and Hamilton having a 1st corner smash? I'm not a fan of smashes in F1 but we havn't had a good first corner crash bang wallop for a while.

How about the two Redbulls?

If it's wet it will be more advantageous to start on the dirty side. We'll see.

Lewis was off the dry line round the outside at Copse but he still got past Alonso. We'll see.

In a way I would like Webber to be leading with Vettel second with the German closing in with 10 laps remaining, to see if Horner is good on his word... If Vettel is allowed to attack; we'll know the true agenda of Red Bull and "our drivers are allowed to race" stance... of course my perfect result would be JB winning it in the rain, but given his performance in GB in the rain, I don't know!!!

i have this sinking feeling that Hamilton and Webber might take each other out in the first corner :thumbdown:

giving Vettel the lead but i hope thats completly wrong and that Hamilton has a cracking race

Also i believe Alonso is gonna have a great start...either way im looking forward to an exciting race

I think that as we've seen in many a championship, Vettel with his big points advantage will be driving conservatively, and probably will end up on the podium but not win. The other three will be left to squabble over the win, with any of FA, MW, or LH being in a position to grab it.

Can't wait for the race tomorrow! It's gonna be a rip-roaring start, especially with Webber and Hamilton sharing the front row. That's a lot of built-up frustration heading into Turn 1... :twisted:

I'd bet money hamilton will be leading after the first corner...webber's starts have been trash all season long; some were his fault and others weren't, but I'm not having much hope for it

Not bad for a #2 driver

Good to see Rosberg getting ahead of one of the Big 3 cars! If is raining/a chaotic race, I wouldn't rule out a podium. However hopefully Rosberg can get a Top 5. Good thing that the tyres are lasting much longer because the Mercedes seem to use them up very quickly.

A nice wallop between Mark and Seb would be fruitful for all the audience....haven't had a great laugh since Turkey 2010.

Breaking News:Lewis Hamilton has officially overtaken The Fonz in race wins. With 88 races less. Lol(Without a specially built blown diffuser, illegal front wing, preferential treatment)

We all know that Webber has poor starts. Hamilton's dirty side will not do him much harm in the case of the rain. I think the start will be somelike similar to that one in Barcelona.

Heavy rain according to http://www.enterf1.com/f1-weather/Nurburgring.asp

You'd have to think that Fernando is in with a very good chance in case of rain, probably better chance than anyone.

Aye, it will be interesting. The Mercs have often qualified well and then dropped back. I only think we'll see Rosberg on the podium if something happens to some of the leading cars. Button shouldn't stay behind him for long.
