We return to Hockenheim this year.
Can Lewis Make it two in a row, or will the Ferrari's fight back on what was for many years, like their home away from home, track. Can Mercedes take back home advantage? Perhaps BMW might want to start a new German era.

Entries close Saturday july 19th 12:00 BST.
Rob will have results from Britain up ASAP.

Lets see. Which three random names shall I pick this week...

I'll go for a German theme...

Vettel

Lewis
Kimi
Heidfeld

I have to agree with Mr TodaysHorse;

Lewis
Kimi
Robo

Matt

Every time I pick Lewis for a win, he blows it! Still, if he’s going to win the title he needs to start winning back-to-back races or at least getting on the podium. With that in mind I’m going:

Hamilton
Raikkonnen
Kubica

It could be Massa or Kubica for third but I still believe that Kimi will end up top dog in the red car driver’s standings come the end of the season. Of course, my predictions have been so far out recently that it will not surprise me in the slightest if all the top drivers fall off the track and Force India take a one, two!

Interesting bit from Fred...

To me that sounds like a possible nod towards Honda, perhaps giving further credence to the long term contract rumor.
Personally if I were Renault i'd be looking at Alonso as a gonner next season and put more effort into Piquet Jr. He's nailed two very nice passes on Alonso in the last two races, and is starting, much like Kovi did last year, to show some of the talent he is supposed to have.

Hamilton
Raikkonen
Kovi

good god, itv is really doing my head in.  its 13.20, and already we are on our second ad break.  roll on the bbc.

And ITV cut the press conference again. Just to waffle on about their undying love for Lewis. 8 minutes to go till next scheduled program. Idiots.

7 more races is it not??
Then no more ad breaks, no more stupid  music, no more annoying allen. And if Martin keeps making mistakes like he did today, no more him either.

To be fair, Heikki and Ron wern't exactly being subtle. Camera's catch him with his finger on the button to Kovi, then suddenly lewis goes by at the next corner.
I dont really care end of the day, I dont see any point in these rules against team orders, more money is lost through teams fighting each other than it is just letting one guy through. I just find it ironic that the ITV guys were making it sound like a brilliant plan, yet constantly slate ferrari if they do it.

The BBC just need to sign Brundle and Edwards for race commentary and I think they'd be set. As for pre-race who knows.

Makes a change, I'm usually getting 5's or 10's! (don't even think I got 20 last year!)

Good race though, very good drive from Piquet to get to 2nd!

WHOA, HOLD THE PHONE!  You're talking about Ferrari being hosed by penalties? 

I nearly broke my hand, banging on the couch watching this race

Oh no.

God I hope this is just a standard random check.
The last thing we need now is Mclaren fan boys whining that the FIA are favouring Ferrari, if they do find something.
Seems to me though the FIA do have a tendancy to find a team and pick on it for a few years. Ferrari have had it. Honda had it, Williams have had it. Now Mclaren seem to be their target.

Not at all. Like I said, for years journalists and fans have always complained about the fact that ferrari would do the whole swapping drivers things. With the exception of the ridiculous stunt at Austria, which was clearly not a race for Michael to win (theres audio of JT telling Rubens to pull over aswell on youtube)
And that silly, lets do an Indy style photo finish, at the USGP which backfired, Ferrari to my recollection, never anything worse than what Mclaren have done with Heikki and Lewis the past few races. This is why I think the rule should be scrapped all together.
What I dont like is the fact that. James "I take a bullet for lewis" Allen, and even Ted Kravitz were all over what a smart and well executed plan it was to switch them round, after crucifying Ferrari for doing it in the past.. It's just further proof that they really are up their own backsides, or perhaps Mclarens.
To be fair, Allen yesterday wasn't that bad, he had his moments, alongside Ted where they were calling for Mclarens heads to roll for the pit strategy, and constantly hammering on about them throwing away a race win for Lewis. Only for them to be singing their praises 10 to 15 minutes later. But in general, I was shocked by how poor Brundle was. I know he's now on his extended summer break, and we will likely have Davidson again for the Hungarian Gp, but he could have at least tried.

A question I've always wanted to ask..why does Brundle miss every Hungarian GP? Has he done something we don't now about and cannot enter the country? Or is it something more innocent..

Quote:

While I'm sure he like everyone else despises the Hungarian Gp, I love the track, hate the races though.
I think mainly he has the break to sort out his driver contracts. Its this time of year that lower fomulas and other racing series start to firm up driver line ups for next year, and since he's got quite a few drivers under contract I'd imagine he's dealing with those.
