2012 Formula One German Grand Prix

[Hampus Andersson]

Polls have been great this year. 45 different possible winners for the upcoming race

Last year maybe 1-2 options would have been voted on tops

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I think drivers win enough money to be forced to work, let's say, 50 weeks per year

Exactly, I'd trade with them anytime

 

[Markus Neumann]

Grosjean is receiving more votes than Raikkonen for the second time now. Has the enthusiasm for the Iceman died down?

Edit: Especially since Grosjean already has a 5-place grid penalty

 

[William Levesque]

I'm still going with Kimi

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

I've heard that Ferrari struggle with Medium Set Compounds is that true?
I Heard this in Bahrain i guess

 

[Spiky Cactus]

I want more victories from Webber. I want to see that jump a few more times this season.

Schumi jumps too

From F1Technical,

"McLaren have new sidepods that are "quite different" for German GP this weekend, team boss Martin Whitmarsh says @andrewbensonf1 18 minutes ago"​

Scarbs has been talking about the possibility of Lotus and McLaren having sidepods with tunnels, much like an inverted U-Pod, with the gap at the bottom. It's just speculation, but sounds very interesting if true.​

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I wonder if the L-shape sidepods would've been more beneficial this year with channeling air towards the rear of the car?

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Lets see how the New Mclaren upgrade works this time around

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Pirelli are due to hand the teams two sets of the new version hard tyres to try out. Pirelli's affable Paul Hembery explained: "The new hard tyre is not a big evolution, but it has a slightly wider working range, which should make it easier for the teams to get the tyres up to temperature and maintain them in the correct operating window," explained Hembery.

So they'll be known as easi-Hards.

"We're running them in Friday free practice only," said Paul, "as with the championship so finely balanced, we feel that it would be unfair to suddenly alter one of the fundamental parameters that the teams have made a lot of effort to understand and get the most out of."

Of course this will be Pirelli's first visit to Hockenheim having been to the Nurburgring last year (because the German Grand Prix alternates between the two). F1's tyre supplier is taking Soft and Medium compounds to the race.

[Bruno Sousa Ferreira]

let's hope it goes dry

Here's the track with the DRS zone. The FIA have done their usual thing and put it where there is already plenty of overtaking, before the hairpin.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

There is no other Place for DRS Zone on this track

 

[Hampus Andersson]

After T6.

 

[ufunacaoenn]

It would be interesting to put the DRS after T1.
