Official Not606 Deutschland GP Chat and Predictions

He's such a bloody fanboy!

 

Wonder what the odd are that FRIC removable ends up making the Mercedes even further ahead?
The hurried manner of the whole thing screams the FIA shooting themselves in the foot.

 

Interesting McLaren rear wing with a serrated slot gap,

It does feel a bit like the "2013 tyre switch" affair.

 

Well everyones getting plenty of experience of the run offs here

 

Respectable showing from Wolff, just 2/10ths shy of Massa with similar laps completed.

Theoretical if they could/wanted to hook a lap together:

Ham - 1:18.573
Ros - 1:19.122 - slow in S2

 

Looks they're both sandbagging a bit...
Sure both can go quicker if they wanted to!

 

In the POWWWEEEERRRRRR charts Kimi lead the way with some team mates a fair distance apart,

Strong work by Wolff to get close to Massa's time but of course its only Free practice for Massa and we dont know what he was working on.

 

Theoretical best times for all drivers with speed traps

Susie Wolffova?

 

If Massa was a lot heavier than normal in FP1, it would explain why Williams seemed off the pace. The other possibility is that they're suffering without FRIC, but fuel would also explain how Wolff was so close to Massa's time despite barely touching the kerbs.

 

Forgot to vote again. Put me down for Hamilton please.

 

What was the tyre situation? Same compounds or was Susie on the softer ones?

Of course, it could just be that they were on similar programs etc and she actually turned in a decent time for what Williams were doing in FP1?

 

The two Mercedes and Ricciardo are only 0.1s apart, hope it's genuine as that could be interesting

 

If only Red Bull could get a decent no.2 driver in their team it could have been a decent battle

 

Naughty!

Talking of Vettel... Where's Silver?

 

Locked in my basement

 

He'll come out when Vettel wins again.

He's got his fanboy of the year award to protect
