Germany here we come - the Nurburgring in a nutshell

Next weekend sees the Formula One paddock head back to mainland Europe for the German Grand Prix. The original Nurburgring, the Nordschliefe, ran for an incredible 22.5 kms and featured an array of high-speed corners, but the modern circuit is a more manageable 5.148 kms.

It still, however, provides great racing. Tight, challenging and located in the stunning Eifel Mountains, it’s a true test of man and machine. Before the teams descend, reacquaint yourself with the circuit and its surrounding region...

Thats what I thought but seeing this thread I got my hopes up

whats the use of keeping track, new ridiculous regulations have made races boring.

there has to be some development from other teams or something extraordinary like heavy rain while its racing time.

then only its worthwhile to watch this year, other wise its like watching 20 funny looking one seater cars running after one another.

theres a lot more overtaking , swapping of positions, racing is closer , what more do you want ?

i wont good racer to win not some newbie riding on his teams advance knowledge of regulations.

yes i am a ferrari fan but not a fanboi, i also like other performances.

but one thing is sure, i hate crybaby alphonso

^ lol.. alphonso. Hes a total wuss. But racing has gotten much better this year and its a fact that most of the drivers out there are pretty good. The car makes a huge difference to the performance of the driver. There have been exceptions here and there but on the whole the scenario is the same. Better car better performance and Brawn/RedBull have proven that.
