2014 German Grand Prix - Hockenheim

Looks very similar to what happened in Austria, which was driver error... Regardless of the cause, it's another massive blow to his championship, since winning tomorrow is going to be impossible now.

[Harsha]

is this another BBW failure??
is it possible to take out BBW out?? and get back old feeling

[astracrazy]

Why is that distasteful? Nobody died...

Id expect the heads of the team to be a bit.more serious at that time. Your cars just had a brake failure leading to a heavy shunt sending one of your drivers to the medical centre.....

I predict ham in 2nd place by lap 10 at the latest. Nothing to see here, move along. Just a hiccup.

Track limits a tutti, eh?

It was announced to look at turn 1...Ros out, Alo out, Vet out on the lap that counts...

[RZS10]

Yea drivers ignoring track limits without any actions by the stewards ... not that i'm against it ... but since they've deleted some drivers' laps they should at least be consistent

[RicerDude]

Looked like right front failure.

[basti313]

Live timing tells Bot did a 1:18.215 on the Prime! Really?!?

[RicerDude]

@MercedesAMGF1: UPDATE #2: The cause of @LewisHamilton's crash was a right front brake disc failure #GermanGP #F1

From Merc twitter account.

FRIC sakes Lewis

[matt_b]

bad luck for lewis but it should be fun seeing him chop through the field for the 3rd race in a row.

Looks very similar to what happened in Austria, which was driver error...

Looks very similar to a crystal ball that is opaque...which needs a polish!

[Mandrake]

Lewis is using a different brake disk supplier than Nico according to Toto Wolff. Also this was a last minute change...any other reports on this? Lewis chose a more aggressive brake is what Toto said

Ricciardo outdoes Vettel once more. =D>

[Juzh]

Ricciardo outdoes Vettel once more. =D>

How predictable is that. Vettel this year always messes up his final attempt when it counts.
