-- Positives --
Valterri Bottas - despite an error making things closer than they should have been, he still controlled this event.

Stoffel Vandoorne - demonstrated the power of the latest Haas upgrade.

Sebastién Bourdais - came literally out of nowhere to acquire sixth.

DGN-Judd - result perhaps not as good as it may have been, but double points finish is sure helpful.

Alexandre Voeckler - if his suspension had not backstabbed him, he would have grabbed a podium and not "just" the INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE
.
-- Negatives --
Pastor Maldonado - he doesn't deserve those two points, ALV made him look like a noob.

Nico Rosberg - he sure should have beaten Frijns for 10th.

Peugeot - avoidable errors hurt them badly, will they recover?

Jules Bianchi - unlike Hamilton he was unable to fight back, I guess that is what seperates a champion from a kid.

Sebastian Vettel - way too eager to impress German fans at the start, he is today's REJECT OF THE RACE.

Calinetic-Mercedes - wise driving earns them the INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE and may just have decided the backmarker battle.

Nico Müller - he has secured Mahindra will not end this year without points.

Brabham-Judd - to complete the good day for the backmarkers, a 9-10 helps them.

Sebastian Vettel - had quite a healthy run himself before his suspension gave up on him.

-- Negatives --
Stoffel Vandoorne - in the end, this is his debut year and rookie mistakes are unavoidable.

Valtteri Bottas - tried just too damn hard and is therefore the REJECT OF THE RACE.

Einar Ármannson - is lucky to avoid accident without major injuries.

Sebastién Bourdais - normally he is better than what he showed today.

DGN-Judd - technical trouble for the world champion and Kubica lost the plot in the last part of the race.

Mahindra ran will buy the smallest upgrade possible

written by Rumour F1
Chandhoks Mahindra seat under pressure?
Reports came out the f1 paddock in Germany today that Karun Chandhok's seat is under pressure if he does not improve in the near future, it is believed that Chandhoks Contract stated he must beat Muller which he has not, with Mahindra management coming more and more annoyed with his under performance. However it is believed the main sponsor comes with Chandhok so there could be issues. Mahindra was impressed with Vergens performance when he replaced the Injured Muller. Mahindra and Chandhok have refused to comment while Jean Eric Vergne has been in the paddock and has been seen having seat fittings. Rumours say that Chandhok has 2 weekends to up his performance.

Dave Cassidy wrote:If anyone ever wanted to know why Fernando Alonso has never won a World Champion, there's your answer. That was completely ridiculous, first corner of the first lap and he takes me off. Now all that ground I made up is gone. I'm still in this fight, and I expected to have a race like this at some point, but damn, I didn't need it today. Still, congrats to Lewis, he drove perfectly today. Unfortunately for me.

#56 - Danilo di Meglio - 5
#63 - Valtteri Bottas - 10
#90 - Evgeny Restov - 15

-- Positives --
Sebastian Vettel - completely controlled the race from lap one, flawless driving.

Fernando Alonso - good podium for the Spaniard

André Lotterer - managed to somehow hold off Bianchi and Hamilton for most of the race despite inferior engine.

Robert Kubica - managed to acquire ten places within the race, that earns him INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE OF THE RACE.

Karun Chandhok - yes, he did take out his team mate on lap one, but leading a lap in a Mahindra still makes you a positive.

-- Negatives --
Stoffel Vandoorne - his German friend made him look quite silly.

Robert Kubica - being PNowhere is not helping you when Kevin Magnussen wants your job.

Mansell-Ferrari - by far the slowest team in the race today.

Daniil Kwjat - despite a great first third of the race, he gets REJECT OF THE RACE for making a truckload of errors in the second part.

Pastor Maldonado - lazy spin results in lazy retirement, this is not what Sauber need.

At September 5, the F1 teams will be at the Silverstone National Circuit for the official mid-season tests.

Basically all you have to do is decide how much money you wish to invest in testing new parts: you can choose to buy a five-percent chance at improving your car for €4,000,000, up to seventy-five percent, i.e. €56,000,000 (the first five percent are for free)

A successful upgrade will then involve a RNG roll to determine the added grip - it can go from 20 to 250 grip points.

You can choose to run different drivers than your normal drivers at the test if you wish, they will not cost anything nor pay anything nor will they influence your upgrades in any way, i.e. only serve to test out the skill of new drivers

Just fill this out and we are ready to go.

Team: Well, duh
Drivers: Well, duh²
Investment: Please only use prices rounded up to the full million

Please have your data ready by December 25th, 10:50 p.m. CET.
