Will Rosberg walk it at his home GP?

Will Hamilton go for it regardless in qualifying Q3?

Will we see another good great dual between fingers and Fred?

My prediction as follows....

Rosberg
Hamilton
That nice bloke from Red Bull

Absolutely, and hope they run each other off the track and make appearance in front of the stewards - we'd love to be flies on the wall for that one, wouldn't we? argue

Rosberg will crash overdriving his car because he's mentally broken now.

Well let's see..... newly married, and still leading the title race. Must be feeling good about things.
It's been interesting so far this year as a few people predicted Lewis would slaughter Nico in Canada and it didn't happen.
Rosberg has impressed a lot of us this year with his coolness behind the wheel.
Certainly is shaping up to be an interesting fight at the front.

I just wonder if NR's approach is the key to success and will lead to an F1 WC?

Hamilton (as much as I like him) get's the right hump on occasion, has a different attitude it appears and that's not good.

That said, who knows what goes on behind closed doors with NR!

I agree with you about Lewis, I like him and think he is actually the most naturally talented driver out there (BOHICA, Fingers and Fred Fanboys about the launch their attacks!).

But Lewis's attitude and approach at times really do let him down. I commented on that in the Silverstone postings, said I thought he needed a good talking to and a good kick in the rear at times (after qualy), but then he proved all of that wrong and went out and had a terrific drive to take the win.

Nico is doing something right it seems.

I suspect, if there are no Merc reliability issues, that we are going to see a heck of a battle at the front...

I am kind of hopeful that Vettel will get a little more on top of his car too..

Rosberg to win by two or three seconds from Hamilton - i.e. about two Mercedes pit stops worth when anywhere in the Fatherland or Greater Fatherland districts.

It was a little piss take at the Pistonhead's F1 forum regulars who without fail, race after race, say Rosberg's broken Hamilton, mentally biglaugh I expected the biggrin to give it away.

The first half of Nurburgring is quite technical and will favour the Red Bulls (and Mercs, obviously). I think it will give them enough of a gap to prevent the Williams coming sailing past them on the straights (or the long flat out section with the curve).

So I think that it will be:

1) Merc
2) Merc
3) Ricciardo

That said, I am really interested to see how FRIC (or it's removal) helps McLaren. And maybe Williams too. That could shunt RB back down the order.
