The times were so close i mean the boost had hardly an effect. I mean the only people off the pace were portugal and england and i did check the perf to double check why they both were a half second off.
Edit: wrote with the wrong account so i kept it with this bit of info in case people were wondering

I saw that almost everybody who didn't use any boost points are well ahead of Portugal in the qualify times. And it's not the first time this happen... It's a bit strange, don't you think? Maybe next time don't use any perfs points and hit the Pole Position...

Welcome all to the race at Hockenheim. It was a a great qualifying yesterday with Kederer coming out on top by under 5 hundreths of a second for Germany's first pole of the campaign and it was right here in there own back yard. Alpenstrom had another strong qualifying and will be looking to add on more points to his championship lead. The weather report is in and the track is already wet with light rain for the early stages. We will see how this affects the race today
Without further ado lets get down to the grid where the drivers are lined up ready for the start
And they are off and its a great jump by Alpenstrom which puts him ahead into the first corner
We can see from Silvestre's car that Kederer went round the outside to hold first from the first corner
Vukcevic actually got off the line pretty sluggishly letting Maverick steam through
Not only that De Boer passes him around the oustide
Johnson is out dragging Silvestre towards the first chicane
Its 2 by 2 as Kamikaze is trying to pass Alpenstrom
Into the chicane and Kamikaze takes the inside line
And Johnson succeeds as well for 4th
Meanwhile De Boer passes Maverick on the inside
And Byrne is up into 8th with that pass all the way down from 17th at the start incredible!
The view from Silva's car shows Tafuro getting the upper hand on Jantsher
Its Silva who tries to capitalise on this and does get a better drive out of the chicane to pass him
Girard is in no mood to let Nikolov through
Maikel De Boer is taking the same kind of attitude as Maverick tries to respond as they enter the stadium section
More aggresive defence as Tafuro is squeezing out Jantsher
Who must have retaken Silva as he is all over the back of the Austrian again
Standings after the first lap
Girard has found himself alongisde and past Vukcevic
As Maverick finally manages to respond to De Boer
Nikolov has made some progress as well also passing Vukcevic at the first chicane
Kamikaze has caught up to Kederer and at the second chicane makes the move up the inside for the lead!
Silvestre passes Johnson just a bit further back of this
With Maverick and De Boer continuing to change places Maverick again applying pressure
Forcing De Boer wide and taking the position
Nikolov has got out of shape after bumping Girard in the braking zone
Girard runs wide but Nikolov keeps it going
Edvardson just has to wait patiently as Antunis looks to make the pass on Vukcevic who keeps going backwards
And strikes the next chance he gets on the struggling man from Montenegro
There are reports that Copeman is out and Byrne is driving with part of his wing missing
Yep Byrne spun off at turn 1 and while sliding back onto circuit collects Copeman
Who cannot continue with that
Silva and Jantsher are still battling away and at turn 1 Janthser has run a little wide
Silva easily takes the place
After passing Vukcevic, Edvardson manages to get by Antunis as well
Antunis falling backwards gets a bump from McGregor as Vukcevic overtakes
The bump allows McGregor to pass him as well thats three places dropped in 4 corners for Antunis
Silva has caught up to Tafuro and makes a move on the Italian to climb another spot
Nikolov has managed to overtake Maverick before even reaching the corner carrying some great speed
Silva still being aggresive dives up the inside of a struggling Antunis
Hunsley is having a quiet race until now when he clips the back of Vilela
Which sees him facing the wrong way
Antunis drops two more positions to Tafuro and Vilela
Silva is continuing his aggresive streak trying to pass McGregor who is trying to give him too tight a line into turn one
McGregor is the one who misjudges it sliding off the circuit but no damage done to the car
Kamikaze is starting to pull away from Kederer
Whereas De Boer is clinging on to the edge of the circuit to keep himself from spinning on the slippery grass as Girard goes past him
Edvardson has the pace out of the corner to shoot by him now as well after his mistake
Brilley is pressed up behind De Boer as Edvardson is looking to pass Girard as well
Its tight neither man wants to give
And they are still side by side at the exit of the chicane
Edvardson just outpaces Girard though down the straight as he comes under pressure from Brilley who takes the spot
Edvardson has somehow ended up behind all three men off camera
Silva claims another scalp and this time its Vukcevic
Nikolov has got onto the back of Johnson who is neither here nor there today it seems
Edvardson makes another pass on De Boer will he stay ahead this time
Under the pressure Johnson found himself under he missed his apex and ends up spinning off at turn 1
There are no Yellows on circuit but there should be since Silva is making a pass on De Boer at turn one
Both men make it round and no accident occurs with Johnson
De Boer gets out of shape further around the circuit and drops a spot to Vukcevic too
Standings with pit stops to come
Time for a break with the middle part of the race to come and pitstops galore.

From 21th in the grind for 10th in the race so far... That's very nice for Portugal after the disappointing qualifying times.

At least looking good so far for the first points for Switzerland. However, that fight with Maikel cost a lot of time, I'm rather in doubt that any more improvement will be possible. Still a good coverage, though!

Mid Race Press release from the French pit wall....
Bulgaria should be given a black flag, for running into the rear of our man Girard. Nikolov has gained position with that reckless move, and should be penalised.....

Dave is doing well for Team Wales. Come on mate, see it home!
Welcome back to part 2 of the race at Hockenheim
Its time for the first stint of pitstops and Alpenstrom is the first man in
Followed by Vukcevic
Alpenstrom rejoins in 10th and Vukcevic in 16th so we will see how things pan out for them
Nikolov follows Silvestre in on the next lap
And Maverick and Brilley are not far behind
Silvestre comes out right in front of Alpenstrom
Nikolov rejoins ahead of the yet to pit Tafuro
Apenstrom makes a move though at the end of the straight to pass Silvestre
Maverick pits and comes out 11th
Whereas Vukcevic is trying to get past De Boer who has just rejoined the circuit
Brilley rejoins the circuit ahead of Johnson
Tafuro has run wide under pressure from Nikolov but hangs on
Johnson is yet to pit but still decides to make a move on Brilley
Which he succeeds in and that is just going to hurt Brilley more than help Johnson
De Boer makes a pass on Vukcevic by just beating him on the straight
Kamikaze and Kederer pit on the same lap
And so both men retain the top two places without much worry
Girard returns on circuit in 7th ahead of Brilley who did get hurt by the Johnson scrap
Even Edvardson returns to track ahead of him but only just
And Brilley uses the extra speed to at least get back one place lost
With everyone having pitted lets see the standings
Kederer is under a lot of pressure from Alpenstrom and having to defend hard at the final chicane
The failed move though brings Silvestre into the battle but he is too far away
Alpenstrom is still having to defend though past the start finish line
A dry line is starting to appear at the end of the lap so we will have to see how that affects whats happening on track
Silvestre does manage to get better drive out of the first corner to whiz past Alpenstrom
Johnson is the first to succomb to the tracks changing grip levels
Alpenstrom has come back at Silvestre like a rocket though to retake the place instantly
Kederer appears to be struggling as Alpenstrom and Silvestre are right behind him
Alpenstrom makes it through
Silvestre does not make it through though
Byrne is pitting and putting on dry tyres. Is the track dry enough yet
The times are starting to drop as Kamikaze goes fastest
Kederer has muscled his way back ahead of Alpenstrom at the first corner. He must have the dry tyres to Alpenstroms wet because the contrast in pace in each section shows
Since Kederer has lost out to both Alpenstrom and Silvestre on the wet part of the track
The track is still too wet in parts since Kederer slips and slides
And runs off but keeps the car pointing forward
He loses just one place to Nikolov
Girard tries to force his way up the inside and how many times we seen this...
Maverick runs wide and looses bags of time but rejoins 10th so not out of it
A big gap between Kamikaze and Alpenstrom now
Alpenstrom pits probably its time for dry tyres
The storming Nikolov passes Silvestre to move into second
Maverick pits for dry tyres too
Alpenstrom rejoins in 9th place but on better tyres can make some headway
Tafuro dives down the inside of Jantsher
Leaving room for Vukcevic to follow through
Kamikaze pits from first with his massive lead
Nikolov comes in behind
And so does Silvestre
Kederer manages to get ahead of Kamikaze even though the Japanese driver had a big lead
With the others starting to pit Alpenstrom passes Nikolov and Silvestre
Silvestre returns in 8th
Kamikaze wastes no time retaking the lead from Kederer
Even Girard who has not pitted yet makes a pass on Kederer
Edvardson has messed up and there are a queue of drivers looking to pass him
And they all do and Jantsher has no room to try passing Vukcevic as he wants to pass Tafuro
And he does pass Tafuro leaving Jantsher to wish the track was wider
Girard makes his second pitstop of the afternoon which drops him back away from the podiums to 8th
Allowing Kamikaze to start stretching his advantage to Kederer on what is now a very dry track
Thats the end of Part 2 but join us for the third and final part of the Hockenheim GP

Great. It was clear that somebody would spoil my race again and it must be destiny that it's France...again. At least this France driver managed not to bump into me this time, but yet I'm really lacking words for my disappointment.
