Official 2019 German Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***
Discussion
Back to Germany and Hockenheim. Something of a power circuit, although the twisty stadium section stops it from being a Monza style slip-streamer.
Ferrari say that they have now established the correct development path for the SF90; let’s hope so otherwise this could be a Mercedes walkover.
Interesting to see if CLC can continue the very public ending of Vettel’s top line F1 career; Vettel managed to bin it here with the race in the bag last year.

Last year, Lewis Hamilton took a sensational victory in a thrilling, rain-hit German Grand Prix as Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel crashed out to gift the Mercedes driver a 17-point lead in their championship battle.
Vettel had been cruising to victory ahead of Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas until rain started to fall with about 25 laps to go.
The downpour, affecting only part of the track, turned the race on its head and brought Hamilton into the mix when he had been looking at a fourth-place finish after starting 14th following a hydraulic failure in qualifying.

Mercedes 1-2 with Bottas second after some crap race pace once agai, Vettel 3rd, Verstappen 4th, LeClerc 5th, Gasly 6th, Mclarens 7th, 8th.
Mercedes will say Ferrari and Red Bull are a threat all weekend then drive away from everyone because they actually aren't. Rinse and repeat pretty much every race so far really.

Grosjean still here by the looks of it 
Yep- I think the rumours say he gets the chop after Germany
Any news of the DRS zones this year?

Eh?
It was a poor attempt at humour making reference to Grosjean's radio message blaming Ericsson for his crash, when in fact it was his own fault and Ericsson was no where near.
