Rain radar for the track. Hockenheim is just 23km from Mannheim

Apparently a known problem and almost all teams have suffered problems..

Ferrari are running 2013 stock of brake discs and one of the reasons for Kimi disappointing performance.

Rosberg has run tests on both brembo and carbon industries and Mercedes have opted for the latter on his car. the difference is in the warm up times and brembo allow for a later braking point.

The suggestion is it's possibly a quality control problem and isolated.

Definitely going to be rain then, this race might be worth watching.

Oh Jesus, Hill and Herbert grid walk is painful to watch.

Beekay

Why are these two doing the grid walk?

Stoolbend

Hill is just painful to watch in general.

Looks like its going to rain within about 20 mins.

Mike Litoris

This could be epic!

Another big crash for felipe

Autosport

Thank god Massa is ok

Jordan 199

You have to feel for Massa. Could have made it to the podium today.

I'm going with Massa's fault on that crash.

Also Ricciardo did what Kimi last time and got away with it, I await the criticism. :P

Not quite sure where Kvyat expected Perez to disappear to there.

Autosport

Hamilton is on a flyer, Ricarrdo has some job on his hand

lolie

Riciardo really got screwed with that crash.
Looks like rain not to far from the circuit http://www.meteox.com/gmapstatic.aspx?zoom=7&type=zoom&x=330&y=333

To avoid it all, he went way wide. Lost a good bit of ground.

Autosport

Grosjean retired, it must be frustrating when it's not your fault

Superimposed on the picture. Noticed it at Silverstone too

Hamilton's doing his best to have an accident.

Autosport

Lewis is like a mad man but this is racing

Fair play to Button for not ramming Hamilton there, I wouldn't have been able to resist.

Any racer who saw that gap on the inside would go for it. If you don't you belong at the back with Max Chilton.

Some inspired driving by Hamilton in this race.
However I think he deserves a penalty now.

I assume there's something wrong with the fuel data on the TV. If they're average 1.9L per lap they're all going to be running out long before the end.

Grim.

Go for a gap, whatever. Mess up when you're in the gap, it's your problem. Hamilton's been very lucky.

Mike Litoris

Alonso!!!

Autosport

Vettel was like a sitting duck

Arthur Beesley

Are people still claiming that the Ferrari is a crap car?

Top Dog

Has anyone seen Rosberg today? :pac:

I've seen his name on the placings, but don't think I've seen his car at all.
