Lauda is out there claiming that Hamilton is the one to blame.

What exactly happened over there in Germany? They really went and showed everyone up, didn't they?
It looks like we’re staring down a podium sweep by Red Bull Racing and their sister team! Honestly, can you even imagine? A complete lockout of those top three spots by the Red Bull family... it’s almost too predictable, isn't it?

I mean, they probably have a better handle on the data than we do, but didn't I hear something regarding light conditions and energy harvesting? And wasn't there a mention of how brilliantly Nico pulled off that move by taking Lewis on the outside?

Is that a southern breeze blowing through?

Jacob White49 said:Nico Rosberg was stuck in the wrong engine mode and ended up going 11 miles/h slower than Lewis Hamilton... which meant Hamilton didn't have the window he needed to react, leaving the FIA to just brush the whole thing off as a racing incident.

If you ask me, it seems fair enough.

graniteharbor502 said:It was shown on ESPN. If you watch closely, Anthony Davidson pointed out from the onboard footage that Rosberg was actually fiddling with the buttons on his wheel during the third turn because, for some reason, his car had switched over to the wet weather mode. You can actually see the lights at the rear of Rosberg's car from Hamilton's perspective, which serve as the indicator for that rain mode being active. And isn't that exactly where Hamilton found his opening to make the move?

Wait, wouldn't those lights actually be a sign that the car is harvesting energy?🤔

Man, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg both had such a solid start out there! But honestly, Nico was just on another level—he timed that long straight perfectly and popped right out of the slipstream in total NASCAR style. It was brilliant to watch, wasn't it?

Shuffling the deck.

It looks like Haas is trying their hand at copying the Bear, but they just can't quite nail the execution.

Ray is consistently outperforming Max Verstappen.

Max Verstappen and Ray will probably be heading into the pits at the exact same time.

Do you think Ray actually has what it takes to pull off a win?

That pit stop could have gone a whole lot smoother for Sebastian Vettel.

YES, YES, YES!

It all comes down to the pit stops.

Honestly, it feels like all four of them are driving almost exactly the same way.

Maybe we’ll see a collision between the black and blue cars.

Sebastian Vettel is really digging deep here.

The top four drivers are all clocked in at exactly the same two-tenths.

Ferrari grabbed fastest lap.
