Cool news about Vettel moving up next year! :)

I am sooo glad this is the last race on FOX and I can get back to my usual schedule on the weekends. I hope to catch practice in the morning but I need to turn this damn computer off and go to bed to get up at 5:00. :)

This might be another wet (or at least changing condition) race. Should be fun to watch.

Yeah, most definitely!

I ran a few sim races online last night at Hockenheim. First on the National circuit and then on the GP circuit. I finished mid-pack in both of them but it was really cool to watch practice this morning and compare lines and accuracy of the track. Sure, running in a Porsche is a little different than an F1 car but still...

I'll be up at 5:00 for qualifying tomorrow then am out for a bike ride for a few hours.

[ÜberDoober]

Ugh. The body didn't want to get up this morning and now there's no damn milk left in the fridge to have with my peanut butter toast. Coffee will be done in a minute but my eyes are fuzzy and don't want to work quite yet.

Lewis Hamilton is leading Q1 with 3 minutes to go. It's cloudy but doesn't look like rain. Check that - Massa with a 1:14:921


Knocked out drivers:
Nakajima
Piquet
Barrichello
Sutil
Fisichella

Seabass makes it to Q2!

[ÜberDoober]

Q2 wraps up with Hamilton really on top this time with a 1:14:603 followed by Massa, Kovalainen, Alonso(?) and Raikkonen.

Knocked up drivers:
Glock
Heidfeid
Rosberg
Bourdais
Button

[ÜberDoober]

Final session and the clock is under 1 minute. Here's where the excitement starts! Bump, bump, bump...will it ever end? :) Hobbs keeps on with his fake German accent - funny.

Starting Grid for the German GP. Kimi in 6th!

[ÜberDoober]

With a couple of TV's and a couple of computers, I'll try to keep up with everything goin on at once today!

[LittleAlguy]

Good start. Raikkonen got bogged down. Some start by Kubica.

[LittleAlguy]

That was a big chop by Trulli.

As much as I miss the uniqueness of the old layout, they certainly are racier on this config.

[ÜberDoober]

I'm on sensory overload! 3 Video & audio sources all at once and trying to make sense of it.

Kubica driving like a pro. Hamilton's race to lose if they've got the strategy right? Alonso making some dicey moves. Indycar starts soon! :ack2: :ack2: :ack2:

[LittleAlguy]

2:05 pm ET start for the Indy cars.

What a drive by Hamilton in this race.

[LittleAlguy]

Big hit by Glock. :ack2:

[ÜberDoober]

Moving down to the Indycar thread but keeping the TV on F1.

Oh! Big shunt by Timo Glock. Damn bad timing. Indy cars on warmup lap.

SC is out. :ack2:

[ÜberDoober]

Hamilton & Heidfeld do not pit under the safety car. Who knows what the heck they're thinking.

[ÜberDoober]

Rubens and DC tangle and come in for new noses.

Hamilton finally pits from the lead and comes out behind Kovalainen and Massa. Kovi needs to move over! :)

[ÜberDoober]

Insane stuff here. Piquet leading with Massa and Hambone on his tail with 12 laps. Hamilton setting up Massa for a pass.

[ÜberDoober]

Massa and Hamilton trade blows. Fantastic!

[ÜberDoober]

LuHam makes a diving move to pass Piquet for the lead. Raikkonen gets around Kubica. Lots of passing and action. :)

[ÜberDoober]

Another epic run by Hamilton. Well done, lad.
