Simple, they pick the driver they think is most likely to win and ensure he gets all the points when it's close between two of them (see Alonso vs Massa).
Exactly. Hopefully the 2014/15 car is stronger.

It could have been a 1-2 for Mercedes today.
If it doesn't get too hot in Germany they could close the gap to Red Bull until the summer break.

Did webber just troll Vettel on the podium?
He wants to win the next race, but can't remember where it is!

We will see if the Pirelli test solved their race pace in hotter races as well.
Irvine would be awesome for interviewing. But making his own questions.
Ugh, fuck you Channel 10 for cutting everything short and squeezing as many ads in as possible. Cunts.
Was the location of Webber's first win, too. Either that or Hockenheim, I'm not sure what it is this year.
Holy shit, I didn't think about that, but it could well have been a troll effort!

lol, nice one Eddie.
I think it was not only for that test, they changed something on their car, i think that is something with rear suspension. But now we do not know, if they used that 'test' for testing new components or not. Did they take that huge gamble?
EDIT: Lewis had damage on the rear of his car, probably quite lucky that flying parts did not breach the gearbox
I wish he'd stayed at Ferrari and never went to Jaguar.

That's very modest for Eddie. I actually think he looks pretty swarve today.

Have to agree with Hamilton, tyre situation is bullshit.

Good honesty from Hamilton saying its a waste of time talking to Pirelli and FIA ...
Lol at Eddies suit..

*weep weep, weep weep weep*
Lol ok that is a bit unfair, but basically he said that Pirelli are worthless and even talking to them will do fuck all.

That's what I'm thinking, Vettel has never won his home GP. One final FU from Webber?

old news
We know it for months. But Hammer 24 will explain it why it's just whining from Red Bull in the next days..
details please, I no longer have access to the TV.
"The safety is the biggest issue, it's unacceptable. We had that tyre test to improve the tyre and to have four blowouts is unacceptable. It's only when someone gets hurt that someone will be doing something about it. I think it's a waste of time talking to the FIA, and if they don't do anything that says a lot about them."
So we should end with "Vettel luck" bullshit but start with "Alonso luck" again? That makes sense. Hilarious.

Vettel is not the best driver out there. People can match him. He has the Best car out there that's for sure.

Webber could have won if he hadn't done a really bad start (again).
They have rolling starts in the WEC, don't they (not that the starts make as much difference there)?

He was saying that even thoug they had performed tests to speficially avoid this it was unacceptable that this did happen. Especially so frequently with 4 cars.
When asked if the drivers will sit down and talk to Pirelli about these tyre issues, he said it would be utterly pointless talking to them at this point. That the only way the situation would truly be rectified is once someone gets hurt.
Most drivers do
He means that specific one, which I don't think he has.

It's a pointless discussion, who is the best.
He did nothing wrong this weekend or the other races, so a WDC title wouldn't be undeserved, so not sure why people need to discussion who is the best.
Ah, she seems like the usual RBR media person.
Yup, I was watching one ONE.
When they were talking about people running across the track, they pulled back a bit and a guy jumping a barrier stacked it and ate the grass.
Hopefully not a final one. I'm thinking maybe another 9 or 10? I forget how many races are left.
Good shit, Lewis.
Bahaha, nice. This is why we need Sunhi

It's odd that all the punctures happened to the same tyre, does suggest that something is up with the track, a bit of a raised lip on a kerb plate somewhere.

Did Vettel stop out on the track in order to bring out the SC and help Webber?
After he lost drive there must have been a few places to get off the track if he had wanted to?

Was Perez on medium or hard compound? Rosberg's hard tyre had signs of delamination when he arrived on 2nd pitstop.
They laid new kerbs for this race iirc, or very recently anyway.
Possible, he may have known that helping Webber is also helping his WDC.
That was textbook unsafe release going from past penalties, and I don't hate Alonso.
