The Official German GP Thread 2012***SPOILERS***

[Life Saab Itch]

I'm going to push the boat out here:


Schumacher to win. Announces retirement at the podium press conference.


I wonder what odds...?

[TheHeretic]

Would quite like that! (The win bit, not the retirement bit)

No time for sentimentality .. Webber or Vettel to win.

I'd like to say Grojean to win but he'll be hampered by a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change.

Has he such a penalty?

[TerzoNeil]

dont think the mclearn team will be at front of grid due to past performance

renualt look good, possible red bull will walk it, maybe alonso will near front

but mac are bringing a big upgrade ?
if it works is another story I guess.

Vettel to win, Newey has figured out how to blow the floor and Vettel knows how to use it.

[TheHeretic]

If the Macca upgrade, and the 'talk on Tuesday' they had doesn't gel, then is that Macca's season over?

[TerzoNeil]

i think it's too late for the mac boys

they have went backwards since 3rd race

Is this a Hockenheim race or Nurburgring?


Either or, both completely ruined.

Hockenheim.

BTW this isn't live on BBC.

[Monty Zoomer]

I think they'll go for the all German podium this time:

1 Michael
2 Nico
3 Sebastian

Pastor will do something bad

[d3dna]

I think the Redbulls will be the ones to beat this race, if McLaren can bring the upgrades and they are effective then they should push for the podium. I won't discount Alonso seeing as he is on form and Ferrari have done well to push that pile of cr@p into something half decent.

Im guessing that it was never that bad and they were just saying that so that the other teams would feel less urge to develop their cars further

Likewise.


Very few of the current crop of drivers experienced that.
