Chilling Grand Prix Hockenheim

The best man won (again)
bad luck for Kimi Glad to see he was okay, this could have ended much worse
JPM: sorry for the fans, but I don't think he's a "champion".. makes to much errors out of frustration everytime he drops a few places
Webber: nice overtaking on Trulli
Barichello proved once again that being in the best car still doesn't make you the best driver
man of the race: Button!! to start off as 13th and still bring it home 2nd..great! and the way he hunted down Alonso
Still can't decide between him and Alonso as Schumacher's successor
overall, not to bad a race

Re: Grand Prix Hockenheim

Tedious cr@p highlighted by some upper midfield overtaking, which I grant you was very entertaining but what what really counts is not knowing who is going to win rather than finish best of the loosers.

Can someone tell me how square head does it and why no one else seems to have picked up on the tactics other than BAR?

Huh? Does f1 still exist?

Schumacher the best? Naa. Don't thing so Schumacher the fastest? Duh.....he's got the fastest car in the field

Sorry Wim, but yesterday the best man won.....on the kart track. And his name was definitely not Schumacher (although they have the same banana-shaped-head ). Yesterday I gave Amsterdavid some kartinglessons And.....I won my cup back

Re: Grand Prix Hockenheim

I liked the race a lot. With some nice overtaking and a very good job done by Button.

At this moment Schumi can clinch the world titel in Spa, thanks to the bad race of Rubinho.

Looking forward to the next race. Hungary suits the Renaults very good and this can be the second race of the season Schumi might not win.

Re: Grand Prix Hockenheim

I also liked the race quite alot

Only Kimi's crash was some scary stuff... Could have been much worse...

Congratulations again to Ferari and Shumi

The Battle between ALonso and Button was fantastic... I really like seeing alonso fighting back and getting in front (the first round )... the n the Honda was just too fast and went away

All the Best

That's it explained then! I wondered why he made no attempt to score any points. I thought such team tactics had been stopped?

Surely F1 should be about doing your best?
