Championship can still be tight after Germany if Hamilton manages to at least grab 2nd place making the gap 11 points which is nothing with so many races to go.
I just hope that the championship is not decided by what driver had the least amount of failures on his car.
Rosberg DNF last race and now another brake failure... not good at all even though they have a pace advantage.
To be honest, it will happen. Every race a Mercedes driver has a problem.SectorOne wrote:Yea talking of bullshit..Juzh wrote:Ham has a history of bullshitting his way out of messed up qualifying sessions (austria anybody?).

You sure the rear? Autosport report it as FRONT right failurebeelsebob wrote:For completeness, while this disappears into a mess, Merc confirmed that Hamilton had a right rear brake disk failure.
The Mercedes Formula 1 team has revealed that a right front brake disc failure caused Lewis Hamilton's qualifying crash at the German Grand Prix.
They will 2-stop Lewis depending on where he is after the first 10 or so laps. I "expect" him to be around 7th by then and I think Merc will do everything they can for Lewis to help maximize WCC points.prince wrote:Well, now that situation is quite challenging, will Merc allow Lewis to gamble with Strategy? OR would they stick to "Same strategy for both drivers"? Looking at the SuperSoft losing life after one hot lap, it appears as if the race would be a 3 stopper for most and 2 stop for gamblers. With track being shorter, a three stopper would naturally be slower compared to a two stop. Any predictions how Lewis' race is going to face? Will get out of the mid-field mess unscathed or will someone take him out, piling more misery.
I doubt they'll be using the same strategy this time, the only chance of them racing each other tomorrow is a SC after Hamilton gets up into 2nd. Rosberg will have optimum race-time strategy and Hamilton will be largely dependant on what's happening in the race, reacting to others, releasing into clean air, etc.prince wrote:Well, now that situation is quite challenging, will Merc allow Lewis to gamble with Strategy?

Why should he gamble? Merc is choosing always the best strategy prior the race. So if the Option tire is the best for the first stint, they will use the Option tire and if not, they will choose the Prime...prince wrote:Well, now that situation is quite challenging, will Merc allow Lewis to gamble with Strategy?

This is wrong. The Williams did nice laptimes on 8 laps old Options in Q3.prince wrote: Looking at the SuperSoft losing life after one hot lap,
You gamble if you have a slow car that is hard to overtake. Lewis has the fastest car and the best car for overtaking...so why should he gamble?prince wrote: it appears as if the race would be a 3 stopper for most and 2 stop for gamblers.

I think they will go for the Option tire to get him in front fast. No Prime runner will be a task in the first 10 rounds.prince wrote: Any predictions how Lewis' race is going to face? Will get out of the mid-field mess unscathed or will someone take him out, piling more misery.
Nah, Hamilton will start on the harder tyre, and run a reverse strategy. That strategy is basically as fast as the forward strategy, with a few minor issues (like having to pass a lot of cars late in the race to make it work). I expect him to jump 3-4 cars off the start, and be around 7th to 10th by the end of the first lap.Waywardism wrote:I doubt they'll be using the same strategy this time, the only chance of them racing each other tomorrow is a SC after Hamilton gets up into 2nd.
