Even with Lewis at the back of the grid, it's looking like another Merc 1-2... Hopefully we get some entertainment with the best of the rest ~4hrs till the race. Forza Ferrari and Ricci Squirrel Streams | MotorSport Stream
If it rains he'll start from the pitlane (or he should, IMO) and put a rain setup on. Easy win. Clouds where VERY dark during the GP3 race just now.
there's barely anyone in the crowds still. At least Zee Germans aren't suckered into paying a lot of money for disappointing noise . GP2/3 sound so much better atm...
Will be 21st and not 20th right? Original starting 16 but guiterriez qualy 14 and has like a 3 place penalty so now LH has penalty as well
yeah 21st. if it rains he will definitely start from the pit. at the German GP, most opening lap crashes actually only happen at the hairpin (also where you can make a lot of positions), so it's a bit tough to choose where to start from.
Wonder how many seconds he would lose starting in pit. Probably nothing much really. Should be on the back of the marrusias gearbox after turn 1
greenlight only comes on after everyone has passed the end of the pitlane line IIRC. Starting on the grid he'll easily make get up to 15-16th by end of lap one. He'll be on the gearbox of the car in 21st at the end of the lap if he starts from the pit...
Oh I see. tbh I'd still start from the pit if I were him. Opening lap be slightly slower anyway as drivers fight for position
will make the race interesting to say the least. IF it rains, I can see Bottas and Massa doing well and challenge for the win (esp bottas), the car is great under braking (better than Merc, especially without FRIC now). Only downside is that Lewham will be with a wet setup so should win then. Ferrari wants cooler track temp as the car is even worse with high temps (as evident yesterday).
Wetter: Wetterradar Deutschland Rain approaches again. Could be wet/dry over the time of the race. Variable conditions. Will mix this all up!
