Another race at the deformed site of the German GP.
I say McClaren all the way. Although it has been a while since England, so maybe something has changed.

I'm hedging my bets on Renault, however if the weather is bad nobody will be able to beat Schumacher...

I know Schumi hates the current layout of the circuit. Along with every other driver out there. Bad weather is as Ozzy said, what schumacher needs. If it stays nice, renault seem to be rather confident again. But Mclarens Silverstone setup would work well round hockenheim with a few notches less of rear wing for the start of the course.

Eating a bratwurst I'm sure.
Where is Hockenheim located in Germany? It doesn't rain alot there.

Hockenheim is just south of Mannheim, and quite a bit south of Frankfurt or a fair bit northwest of Stuttgart. That vague enough?

Some good facts on the place.
I still cant believe they changed the place. It was one of the great sites of formula 1, watching these things shoot into the forest section. I would bet you, Tilke actually went to someone asking to re-design the place for the fun of it.

I had an idea of where it is based on the discription.
I hate that dude who keeps designing F-1 tracks. The only one I like (as a virtual driver) is Sepang. WIDE surface, easy to memorize corners.
Next thing you'll see out of him is a redesigned Monza, or Monaco. Parabollica will be replaced with an increasing radius corner at monza, and the Lowes hairpin at Monaco will be replaced with a loopty-loop.

Monza was destroyed the moment they put the chicane in at turn 1.

What I can't believe about Hockenheim is that whilst building the new section of the circuit they dug up the old forest loop and planet trees in its place...
Its rather sad now to think that the memorial to the great Jim Clarke is in the middle of the forest nowhere near the track at all. Muppets.

Well, everything is quiet here. No choppers roaring southwards yet.
Gives me time to grab the Flak from the basement...

Well that was an interesting race. I have always wondered how an F1 car would handle on ice. I think schumi showed us all, thats how little grip those tyres had.
Kimi once again really wants to think about how hard he pushes his car, he can turn down the revs and still win. Monty must be secretly loving this, criticised for poor qualifying and not being a team player, but at least he can say he finished.
Alonso now can only loose the championship finishing 1st to 3rd every race is all he needs now.

Yeah, the McClaren failure was a shocker
