Thanks so much for these two links. Just watched them both early on the morning of the 10th and I can't imagine a better way to start the day. It does serve to remind you that once there was a purity to the sport that is now much diluted by money and 'politics.' It's still there; just harder to find.

Took me a while to realize which links you were talking about! yes, they are great and I am glad you enjoyed them :)

Here are some links about yet another boring weekend (my expectation have never been lower)

Shocking news! Rumours about Piquet's "last chance" (here's a question for you, JHS: if Piquet denies that he is going to be sacked, will you believe him?)

Plus: Mario Theissen said that he expects more apologies from Bernie, FOTA still threatens with a breakaway series plus more! Check our forum babes in thongs (Paul, Muzza, Steve and Eric as the "TF1 Lolita")

That's it for now.

Nothing to post, so you get a picture instead. Moss, Germany, 1958.

Hmm, I see some grass and maybe some weeds, but no moss.

(Damn, that was horrible).

Lewis was on fumes and supersofts when he set that time - a lot of Merc top brass were around. However, they have got some new car parts so he should make Q2 for a change.

11 July 2009

Mercedes-Benz Motorsport is prepared for one of its biggest weekends of the year as qualifying day for the German Grand Prix begins. Providers of three of the ten F1 teams, mixed results are expected for the manufacturer whose engines are found in the back of the Brawn, McLaren and Force India cars.

ROS;sz=468x60;tile=1;ord=650905697226? With six of the field's twenty cars powered by Mercedes powerplants, hundreds of the company's employees will be filling the Turn 1 grandstand at the Nürburgring as the German Grand Prix title returns to the track for the first time in twenty-four years. With Mercedes' highly-developed KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) unit generally regarded as the best in the field, optimism is high at the Nürburgring.

125760.jpgMercedes' Norbert Haug is looking forward to qualifying"This looked quite encouraging, I have to say, and definitely better than I'd anticipated before the sessions today," said Mercedes' motorsport boss Norbert Haug after Friday practice, with the McLaren works car of Lewis Hamilton at the top of the timesheets. "We certainly did not post 'show times' four our home race; our speed was genuine and quite a bit better than in the last races. I certainly don't expect us to be fastest tomorrow but if everything comes together we probably will be in a position to deliver a solid job on race day."

With the World Champion having led the way, Finnish team-mate Kovalainen's session finished with a contrasting 17th place. "Heikki's car was not on the same technical level as Lewis', which had new pieces that only arrived last night and which are not yet available in sufficient numbers," Haug continued. "Our KERS hybrid is a good help around this circuit and gives us more than three tenths of a second per lap."

Lewis Hamilton showed that his Friday exploits were not a flash in the pan by topping the times once again in Saturday morning’s final practice session at the Nurburgring.

The world champion again made full use of McLaren’s upgraded MP4-24 chassis to outpace his old rival Fernando Alonso by two-tenths of a second.

Felipe Massa was third quickest for Ferrari ahead of Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, with Kimi Raikkonen rounding out the top six in the other Ferrari.

Full report to follow shortly…

For the 1st time this year, no surprise who failed to make it in2 Q2.

Kubi, Buemi, Fisi, Glock & Bourdais are all out. I think this is Bourdais' last race for STR & will be replaced by British F3 champion & curent Renault World Series competitor Jaime Alguersari! Webber quickest & Nando only a few hundreths behind so Renault have done their homework too!
