Friday sees the start of the german Grand Prix.

Lets hope Vettol can get a win on his home grand prix.

Lets hope Jenson will take his revenge on Vettel in front of the German's home fans.

more importantly the V8s head to Townsville which poses to be a CRACKER

 

[SeagullTim]

Let's hope Lewis will be given the platform to re-establish himself as the greatest driver in the sport.

Failing that, let's hope Seb Vet wins and Jenson crashes out to tighten up this borefest a little bit.

Grosser Preis? bigger price? wtf?

More problems between FOTA and the FIA, the FOTA teams have walked out of discussions over next years rules.

Borefest? This season is developing into a real thriller. The Red Bull car was particularly suited to the Silverstone circuit so it remains to be seen whether it will be so dominant in Germany.

Button has a larger lead but there's still plenty of time for Vettel to catch up. Betfair's offering 7/2 on Vettel, so quite attractive odds to lay off on.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Red Bull one-two finish this weekend I predict

 

[Pavilionaire]

Did you miss the Silverstone race? It was a procession, I've never seen such a dominant performance from start to finish, and Jenson was complaining throughout qualifying and the first two-thirds of the race of a lack of grip and, therefore, pace.

This one's NOT over by a long way.

 

[The Wizard]

Well my definition of thriller is clearly different to yours, my friend, because to me one man winning 6 out of the first 7 races and opening up a 25 point lead by June is tedious in the extreme.

There's only so many times you can hear the "Jenson's been at the back of the grid for years and now look at him winning. And just in case you missed it the first million times, Brawn didn't even know if they would be racing three weeks before the first race," story before your love of a sport takes a knock.

Tedious maybe, but he has driven that car out of its skin and hasn't made a mistake all season that I can think of, I Prefer Hamilton to him but if Hamilton is out of it this year my second choice would of been Jenson because he is English.

I Don't see why people want Vettell to win, he is f***ing German.

 

[JJ McClure]

There's more excitment off the track this season than on it as yet another argument brews between the FIA and FOTA. I'm dead chuffed that Jenson is doing so well but have to agree the races haven't been all that, to be honest though I'd take snoring through the rest of the season if it meant Button being Champion.

 

[strings]

If it is hot, a Brawn car will win.

If it isn't hot, a Red Bull will win... you heard it here first! Unfortunatrely I will be on holiday, so will be missing this one.

 

[Turkey]

Red Bull have a decent car when it's cold or wet. If its warm Brawn have the advantage.

It's been a terrible season after two thrilling years. If Red Bull do take the fight to Brawn, great, not convinced they will though and it doesn't change the fact that bar Aussie it's been a borefest this season.

 

[Icy Gull]

I see midget meglomaniac Bernie has been on another PR exercise this week...

Bernie Ecclestone's comments about Adolf Hitler have been condemned as "disgusting" and "wrong" by the BMW Sauber principal, Mario Theissen, who has become the first Formula One figure to condemn the 78-year-old after his remarks praising the Nazi leader for his ability "to get things done." Ecclestone, the sport's commercial rights holder, has since apologised unreservedly.

Webber Button top first practice today.

[Pavilionaire]

There's no doubt the Red Bull cars are performing better than the Brawn. I see Webber is fastest so far, and it would be ironic if his competitiveness took enough points away from Vettel to give Button the Driver's Championship.

Button's 2nd so far, so a good response to Silverstone there.
