German Grand Prix

Tough deal racing deal for Massa
 
One of the more enjoyable races of the year, at least from 2nd back.

What the hell is up with Ferrari? If they don't start posting wins soon they're going to quit F1 and go somewhere else.
 
Best F-1 in quite awhile, Indy car was much better though, they sound like race cars

They've had some weird ones doing the podium interviews. Including some opera singers and rock stars? Ha ! I like the retired drivers. Jackie Stewart, David Coulthard and Mark Webber were a nice tough. The just have Jackie or Coulthard do it every GP. Hey, get David Hobbs do it it for the USGP, NBC usually broadcasts live from that one.

LMAO, I don't know about that.

Bobby Rahal was just talking about on his Twitter how he almost drove a Ferrari in IndyCar in 1987. I looked up the history, Ferrari was in talks with TrueSports to build an Indy chassis and engine, with TrueSports to run the team and Bob Rahal to drive. They actually built and tested a car, but the whole thing fell apart just before the season started. Ferrari was just using the threat of expanding into IndyCar to get FIA to make concessions they wanted for the next year's technical rules.

Ferrari probably would have found out that IndyCar is harder than it looks for engine builders. Ask Alfa Romeo, I think that was around the time of their failed IndyCar attempt. Or Lotus, more recently.

Their latest ploy is threatening to leave for an LMP1 program in the WEC.

Kai Ebel, German reporter. Some of those podium interviews are really awful. Like Kevin said, they're usually only good when a former driver does them. Webber's interviews at Austria were solid.

I seen this somewhere as well. That was crazy to find out Ferrari almost ended up in Indycar.
 
Just watched this race off my DVR what a race from 2nd back. Watching Hamilton move thru the field was awesome. Bet Roseberg was crappin his pants for a while there. If Hamilton had made his tires last more that last stent he would have caught Roseberg. Loved the Ricciardo and Alonso racing. This year F1 has been so much more exciting this season that Red Bull isn't dominating F1. Last year was sooooo BOOOooring with Vettel winning all the races. But this year is proving I was right about Vettel, I told my friends put him in another car and he'd be just an average driver. F1 needs an oval on their schedule.

Completely agree with you. I've never liked spec series until this new 2012 Dallara in IndyCar. It's awesome in person and creates great racing on all tracks.

Hamilton had no chance at Rosberg without a safety car even if he hadn't broken his wing end plate.

Time will tell that Vettel isn't average, Ricciardo is just that good.
