Does anyone know what happened to JT? It looks like the car just never stopped turning right...
Glad he's ok

Glad Kimi finally got on the podium... I expected more from JB at his home GP
Even tho Michael won on pit strategy he drove very well to get in that position in the first place.

Looks like something broke on his car and he couldn't steer in and went staright ahead. Again this accident shows how dangerous gravel traps are for modern F1 cars. he would have never somersaulted on tarmac.

***UPDATE***

According to a first statement from the Renault pits apparently his rear suspension broke.


***UPDATE 2***

Congrats to Kimi. Welcome back to the podium!

AND SCHUMACHER WINS ANOTHER BLOODY RACE!!!

Can anyone stop him? will anyone stop him?

What happened to Trulli? The race starts in half an hour, did his car just fly into the tyre barrier or something?

Trulli rear suspension broke and he touched the tyre barrier sideways, slid through the gravel pit at high speed, did somersault and ended up sitting in a car where no two pieces fitted toghether anymore. If it wasn't for the roll bars I guess he would have been dead.


Anyway, this time Ferrari's strategy didn't really work because of the SC. He really had to fight a bit for this victory - it was no easy walk in the park for MS this time.

Complete roll (acroos, not alongside).

Ron Dennis said there will be new aeroparts and a new engine evolution they will test on Tuesday. :p

Since Kimi was always close to MS on new tyres after the stops but got slower the older tyres got, I think the Bridgestones were simply better today. If Hockenheim gets hot again, the Michelins will prevail and Mclaren will really have a chance to win there.

My God, why i still watch Formula 1?!?!?

11 Races, 10 wins for the same driver, thats why americans dont like F-1. Im starting to think that they are right.

I am sorry, but only someone who just started to follow F1 recently could say that.
