1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?
3) Any further problems for Mclaren?
4) Will Mercedes do anything good?
5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?
6) A new RBR row perhaps?
 
heh looks like the chinese word for "Melon".

Hamilton

Yes but they'll manage

No

Who cares...

Not so soon, maybe next race.

2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim? Hamilton still
3) Any further problems for Mclaren? Some part won't work in quali
4) Will Mercedes do anything good? Maybe
5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany? Possibly
6) A new RBR row perhaps? Not now, please
 
I have now understood how this forum works

1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
Hamilton, Hamilton
2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?
Hamilton
3) Any further problems for Mclaren?
Not Hamilton, he'll be brilliant
4) Will Mercedes do anything good?
Not as good as Hamilton!!
5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?
Yes, but he won't outrun Hamilton
6) A new RBR row perhaps?
Behind Hamilton.
 
Well, who is leading the WDC and who isn't? He has been pretty consistent this year, had a well performing car and the team has done some really good strategic calls.
 
1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
Vettel,Hamilton
2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?
Hamilton
3) Any further problems for Mclaren?
Yeah Im guessing there going to be fiddleing around with all sorts during the weekend, but they will still be fast.
4) Will Mercedes do anything good?
Depends, I could do with one of those SLK Blacks.
5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?
Not sure but I think driving faster would be more important:p
6) A new RBR row perhaps?
I hope, I think webber would win in a fight.
 
1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
Hamilton x 2

NO!

NO!
 
mppico, don't say it if you don't mean it. And, if you don't like how this place works, you're welcome out. Seriously. Ferrari have been yanking it out on official press, so i doubt we need more from its supporters.

Just so happens the first few who post are McLaren,and hamilton supporters. The fan-tifosi are not here yet mate.

1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
Hamilton, Hamilton
.
2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?
Hamilton
3) Any further problems for Mclaren?
Yeah, but they'll iron it out.
4) Will Mercedes do anything good?
Hopefully.
5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?
No.
6) A new RBR row perhaps?
Yeah maybe.

I have been a McLaren fan ever since Alonso entered Ferrari.... but that actually made me lol.:lol:
 
1) Who will take pole and who will win the race?
Pole: Vettel, Win: Button

2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?
Button! (well, someone had to break the Lewis monotony! :lol:)

3) Any further problems for Mclaren?
There may be some kind of strategy or mechanical stuff up in quali, but I feel they'll come good in the race where it matters.

4) Will Mercedes do anything good?
Another podium for Rosberg....maybe. :dunno:

5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?
I doubt it.

6) A new RBR row perhaps?
I sure hope not! Although I no longer support RBR as a team, I really don't like to see teams seemingly attempt to self-destruct due to internal forces when they are otherwise, for the most part. doing really well on-track. :-(

I'm surprised it took you this long to realise that mate. :p

Fixed.

Pole and race win: Webber. At least that's what I'd like to see in order to rub it in for Vettel.

2) Which driver will lead the WDC after Hockenheim?

Still Hamilton, but not by much.

3) Any further problems for Mclaren?

No.

4) Will Mercedes do anything good?

Possible, but if anything is going to go well it's down to Nico.

5) Will Yamamoto outrun his teammate in Germany?

Unless his teammate drives with a damaged car for the whole race, as Chandhok did at Silverstone, I can't see it happening.

6) A new RBR row perhaps?

No, the one from Silverstone will continue to bubble under the surface until Yabba-Dabbi.





Also, the former-F1-driver-turned-steward-for-a-weekend this weekend is former Tyrrell driver(in 1983) and 1988 CART champion Danny Sullivan.

You just proved my point.
And no, I know many of you dislike me and want me out, but I'll stay here and be even more annoying than Ferrari's PR.

Who the hell?? Why don't they get Coulthard to do this job, he's much more in contact with current rules than ... a 1983 driver.

DC is still an employee of Red Bull Racing (consultant plus possibly reserve to the reserve to the reserve drivers). So there's the risk of accusations of bias.


Also, they don't necessarily take just any F1 driver lying around, they take drivers who have had a lot of motorsport experience, not necessarily all in F1, and can't necessarily be accused of bias towards a current team. Take Australia, for instance, they had Tom Kristensen as a steward and he never raced in F1 (although he was instrumental in Michelin's return to F1 in 2001, he did a lot of the testing miles).

Still if the whole point of putting a driver in charge is to get an insight from someone who knows how it is to be "out there", being "out there" in a rally car is much different than being in F1, it's like putting a pole vault specialist judging long jump just because it's an athlete...? It doesnt make any sense. There are plenty of drivers out there who are much more in touch to what F1 racing is about.
 
They're using drivers who have a lot of experience in track-based motorsport, primarily single-seaters and, perhaps as an aside, endurance racing (see Kristensen and Alex Wurz). Also, a couple of facts: three of the driver stewards this year started their F1 careers in 1980 or 1981, and Sullivan is the second former IndyCar champion who has been called for this role.
 
Id call Hill or Hakkinen... they could take a weekend or two to help around and earn a few dimes. Always a fan of those, respectable enemies from the 90s hehe
 
Hill was the driver steward at the Monaco GP, Hakkinen is probably not really interested. I think the only driver they called twice so far was Johnny Herbert (possibly because he's too much of a joker and lightens up the mood in the office...). I guess they would have called Schuey for this one had he not decided to return to driving. :lol:

What about Bergher? He was a joker too, and he's no longer in Toro Rosso...
Did Eddie Irvine steward yet?
