I sure do miss the old Hock....
Anywho, with the grid the way that it is - should make for an interesting race!

Kimi looking very racy!

Both Ferraris will come to the front and Verstappen between the both Mercedes cars. Should be good for an interesting start....

Cheers,
Huub

Porsche Supercup this morning suspended due to heavy rain, could be an interesting afternoon!

Brilliant win by Max!!!!!
Stunning drive by Vettel!!!

-Wow, Lance Stroll!

 

[Ferry_vO]

What a race!

That was fun! Bad luck for Mercedes and Renault. And very hard work for the pit crews! Loved the shots from Toto Wolff, where you could see the growing frustration....

Cheers,
Huub

Go Max! Best race of the year?

Much as I detest Hockenheim in the neutered form I actually enjoyed the GP.
Helped that Max brained the Mercedes and Vettel put in an epic run from the bottom.
Delighted to see Daniil Kvyat grab P3, Pierre Gasly might find himself 'demoted' if he doesn't get it together.
Interesting that, both early season 'Young Guns' (Gasly and Leclerc) departing the race unceremoniously....................................

Albon however, continues to perform really well.

Renault should really stop running a team and go back to being and engine supplier, Ricciardo's blow up appeared comprehensive, old engine or not.

And 3 Honda engines in the top 10, P1-P3-P6, so all those past doubters, suck it right up.



And a PS: Driver if day, Daniil Kvyat for me.

Very entertaining race (finally no Mercs dominating the field). F1 needs to figure out how to make races this entertaining on a regular basis. (Maybe F1 should place one or two "water turns" on every track forcing drivers to slow down or risk a "departure". I noticed that even the veteran V. Bottas went into the wall due to a slippery surface.)

Some humor that I think Huub & Ferry will enjoy....

I never though I would like Japanese humor, but this one is funny. Nevertheless I think Fernando Alonso is a great driver, he only has made some poor choices....

Cheers,
Huub

Alonso is a great driver, but not a good team player apparently..
