Formula 1: Germany Grand Prix

[Dad]

I'm throwing another unit on Massa +3300 because I am a crazy bastard. Call it a guy feeling, boys. I'm also betting 1 more unit on Alonso +450 to win.

Cant wait until tomorrow.

[Optional]

Rosberg will be taking a 5 place grid penalty for changing gearbox.

[shaunovery]

Hopefully dry today so we can see proper set ups and times

[shaunovery]

Dry at minute thunderstorms expected for qualifying making it a lottery

What do teams do set up for the race and sacrifice grids postion or set up for qualifying and be on the wrong set up for the race if it's dry

[MatI]

Much better off setting up for the race and sacrificing qual pace, but im sure some will gamble on wettish setup.

[MatI]

5 place grid penalty for Webber after having to change gearbox.

Damn.

Rosberg & Grosjean also have 5 place penalties for same reason.

[shaunovery]

Webber and grosjean 5place penaltys

[MatI]

And it is bucketing down!

[Optional]

Maccas liking the wet best thru first two Q sessions.

[Optional]

But Alonso shows why most think he is the best out there again.

Fernando. What a gun.

Meanwhile, should be even better odds available for a Massa win now!

It looked it didn't it. Very surprised to see they didn't have the pace for Q3.

[Optional]

Don't really know what Button's problem was... same as usual for lately I guess. But Lewis either cocked up his last lap and aborted or the team told him to come in. Think he would have had a chance for front row.

But... what does it really matter if it's going to be sunny tomorrow.

Maybe Button (and others) had a full dry setup on and will be potent tomorrow?!

[MatI]

Watching the timing screen, neither McLaren's seemed to have the pace in the final session. I'm not sure what changed though. Lewis definitely made a mistake on his final run, but hard to say if it was an issue or just not getting a good lap in, or something else.

Yep, dry race tomorrow. SV to win it I think.

I'm pretty sure no drivers would have gone with a wet setup - it would be a huge disadvantage in a dry race. They are not silly, and no forecast has said anything other than dry race on Sunday.

[Optional]

Yeah probably right. Although I'm sure some would have gone with higher ride height and more front wing and stuff like that they can change quickly at a pit stop.



What is Jermemy Clarkson doing in this photo anyone?

Is he sucking on cream whipping gas??

Good luck with the play. I really like SV to finish ahead of Alonso and win the race. BUT, word from Germany in the last half hour is that Red Bull 'cheated' on their engine mapping during qualifying. Stewards are investigating right now. I think there is a chance both RB's are forced to start at rear of field.

I was going to do the same. Very glad too I ended up having a busy day and didn't take it early.

Looks like it will be last minute plays depending on the result.

[shaunovery]

I saw even money wanted bigger so I decided to sleep on it just put f1 channel on and saw the news

[shaunovery]

Red bull boss Christian Horner didn't enjoy being interviewed there did he ?

Missed it.

Was this on Sky? For some reason the sky channel i am straming is showing a replay of the mornings Gp3 race.

[MatI]

I feel liking taking Alonso H2h against SV now, before the news breaks. Surely they will be excluded from qual results and start from back. Only thing that could throw a spanner is RB appeal the decision and are allowed to start in original spots under appeal.

[shaunovery]

It's on sky sports f1 channel
Ted kravitz was following Horner down the pit lane then Horner said to him he wasn't allowed down the pit lane ted said he was because a race was going on

That alone makes me lean towards a bad result out of this for RB.

Pissed i can't find a live sky channel yet. Let us know if they break any news on the issue.

[shaunovery]

Will do

[MatI]

Are they showing a Nigel Roebuck story right now about James Hunt?

[shaunovery]

Yep that's it

[MatI]

cheers!

just seen this tweet, looks like RB survived.

@f1talks
From stewards office: No action against the Red Bull... #F1

[shaunovery]

No penaltys for red bull

[shaunovery]

Looks like they had slightly bent the rules

[MatI]

They dodged a bullet there.

ok, time to load up on SV against FA.

[MatI]

taking -

Vettel WIN @ +203
Vettel @ -110 over Alonso
Webber @ -120 over Button
