Would that be the first time this season if he goes ahead? Wouldn't be shocking really, Vettel hasn't had a good year, and Charles has been more steady of a driver. What stands out to me is the gap between Max and Pierre.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 15, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 15, 2019 With Leclerc joining the team, this year was probably Sebs last opportunity to win the title with Ferrari because it's only a matter of time before Charles becomes the number one driver, the car just isn't there. The only way I can see him winning a title with Ferrari is if they build a car dominant enough that they can allow the drivers to compete for the title and Vettel wins with his superior experience. Very unlikely scenario though. He should either leave F1 or do a Kimi and find a seat lower down the grid in a team where he can enjoy his racing again. McLaren would be a good fit but their seats are locked out. Maybe Renault, if he told Ferrari he wanted out then they may go after Ricciardo which would leave a gap for Seb there.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 16, 2019 Moderator Posted July 16, 2019 Are you a Hamilton lover or a Vettel hater? Or both? Is your dad a big army buff so that you were raised to hate all things German? I know a couple of Brits like that.

I think I meant to reply in another topic, and got mixed up. The internet is confusing sometimes. edit: I had a few beers last night, so maybe I was replying to you. Don't take it too seriously though. Sorry

Quite embarrassing really. I would have never replied that to Rando

nudge Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Most likely the last race in Hockenheim before it disappears from the calendar again...

I miss the old track, when they disappeared into the forest for a what felt like minutes. It wasn't ideal and the racing wasn't so great, but it was just iconic.

That's the way I feel about Nürburgring (the Nordschleife, not the GP Strecke) despite knowing that it's not suitable for F1 racing at all I'm not a big fan of Hockenheim but it's sad not to have any race in Germany...

Hmm, last time I saw something from him is when he helped develop hybrid cars or something like this. But yea, he's a bit in the shadows these days.
Administrator Stan Posted July 18, 2019 Administrator Posted July 18, 2019 I had F1 2000 game on PS1 back in the day and Hockenheim was one of my favourite tracks to race on.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 18, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 18, 2019 The old Hockenheim did not make for good racing. The current format is better, not a classic, but I will miss it.
MUFC Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Can Vettel turn it around? No better place then in his home country, or will it be fuck fuck fuck again.

I still haven't recovered from this, and Singapore 2017. edit: Jesus Christ, those cheering fans in the stands. I'm pretty sure I would have started a fight if I was there.
nudge Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Early weather forecasts predict a hot race (around 30°C) and potential rain. Rain and thunderstorms are especially likely for the quali on Saturday!
