Only minor burns were suffered, which says a lot for the efficacy of the overalls!

Well, I think this was just one of a number of piltane incidents involving fuel rigs, and the safety aspect was part of the decision to ban refueling, but I'm not going to argue...Jolle wrote:No, a reminder why there are certain safety rules and why Briatore isn't part of F1 anymore.ChrisDanger wrote:A blast from the past: Jos Verstappen at the 1994 German GP.

Well, that ended amicably.

For the ones who want an exciting second half for the championship, Rosberg should win.SiLo wrote:Everyone going for Rosberg on pole and the win here, I reckon Hamilton has got some wind in his sails and will take pole and the win instead.
It would be a big loss for Rosberg in front of his "home" crowd too.
Some scattered showers would be great, of rain but after an initial dry start, I dont want to watch another painful start with the SC doing the first laps.godlameroso wrote:I wish sector 2 in this track was broken down into two sub sectors, because this is the sector that gives you the true difference between the engine and the chassis. 5-7 is all engine 8-11 is all chassis. Sector 3 is the tire destroyer, managing the tires in this sector is key for the race.
Oh yeah, forgot weather forecast:
Chance of rain throughout the weekend, strongest chance of rain is on Saturday/Sunday, may get a stray isolated shower or it may rain overnight and wash the track. It might rain in the morning of the race and it'll start on a damp track/safety car start. I hope that it rains in the middle of the race, that would make it awesome, the rain gods have teased us with a really crazy race. I feel they owe us one.
It's going to be extremely humid if it is dry, it'll also be a bit cooler than it was in Hungary. The region has an interesting feature that causes the track temperature to be inconsistent at different places. This makes it tricky to find a good setup, the changing conditions won't make it easy so teams often get stuck "chasing" the track evolution and going backwards.
