Finally someone actually called them out on their crap ☕

🤣🤣🤣
God, Mercedes is absolute garbage this season. They’re about as dominant as the RB 2011 ako 🤣

If anyone's lost the plot, it's Nico Rosberg 😉

Mark Webber is tearing it up in the Mečka, haha.

Raymond Anderson4 said:They completely screwed over Felipe Massa. Thumbs down to Ferrari.
If Fernando isn't driving, then Felipe shouldn't be either.
Felipe had the pace to hit a 1.29:6.
I don't get it...

Clearly they're banking on this fortress tactic.
It works for me, even if I was holding out hope for a real fight for the front row.

The high heat actually suits Ferrari quite well.

I'm on board with it, even though I was really hoping to see a genuine scrap for those top grid positions.

The high temperatures seem to suit Ferrari perfectly.

True, but Felipe Massa had the pace for P4. Why hold him back then? This isn't what Fernando Alonso needs—having Felipe Massa play second fiddle just because he had the speed to beat him in qualifying.

Raymond Anderson4 said:It’s not really a decision... Red Bull can run laps on hards just as easily as Ferrari can on mediums.

Hmm. During the FP-ov sessions, I didn't see anyone manage even half the laps on options compared to what they did on primes.

Tomorrow, Jenson Button is going to lose a few spots fast to Nico Rosberg, Nico Hulkenberg, and a couple of others. He managed to squeeze himself into Q3, which is fine, I guess, but let's be real—he’s still miles away from making any actual progress...

yours truly :Hair pull: 🤣😢

Guess I'll have to hate Nando all over again
🙄 🤣 🤣

Man, what was Fernando Alonso even doing there...
No joke, he definitely deserves a penalty for that😳
Or at least for causing Felipe Massa's seal to snap😬

To be honest, I thought he was intentionally blocking Sebastian Vettel so he wouldn't finish the final timed lap...
Only realized later it was just a total fluke...

P.S. Mark couldn't have pulled that off in his wildest dreams😁 😍

Someone should really go down to the local pub and give Massu a serious talking-to.😬

To be completely honest with you—I actually thought they were intentionally slowing Sebastian Vettel down just to prevent him from getting a timed lap in that final sector.
It only hit me later that the footwork was just completely off...

P.S. Even in his wildest dreams, Mark Webber couldn't have touched that level of performance.😁😍

Lujo and Mečka are probably going to go head-to-head at the start tomorrow—but honestly, who cares? 🙂

What exactly did you see this time?
That Felipe Massa is driving a dominant car, so obviously he's better than Loeffler...
And did you notice how our STR suddenly became the dominant force again?😍

Rica at Red Bull Racing 👋

My mistake, I got my wires crossed. Obviously, the softs aren't going to last nearly as long as the mediums.

If I were you, I’d be lighting candles and praying for Mark Webber...
He's got Romain Grosjean right on his tail... and given how Mark launches off the line versus how Romain sees things...

If I were betting on a crash, I'd put it on Mark's rear end getting taken out by Romain.

stormybadger8 said:If I were in your shoes, I’d be lighting candles and praying to just about anything to save Mark...
Right behind him, Romain Grosjean is lining up—and considering how aggressively Mark launches off the line combined with the way Romain drives...

If I were betting on a collision, my money would be on Mark getting clipped at the very end of the turn by Romain...

😬🤣

There's nothing wrong with that 😬

But he isn't exactly terrified of Mark; I'm not worried anymore
Did you seriously not see how he almost got wiped out last time? 🤷🤣

We have an absolute thriller of a race lined up for tomorrow; I can already feel the drama coming from both ends of the grid.
Who among the trio of Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso, and Nico Rosberg is going to make the biggest breakthrough?
Is there any chance Sebastian Vettel pulls off a win in Germany, or will Lujo snatch the victory and throw himself right into the championship fight?
The Lotus duo is acting like they’ve lost their compass lately, making them completely unpredictable—do you think they might actually manage to snag a podium this time around?

That Lotus duo is basically driving without a compass right now, totally unpredictable... maybe they sneak onto the podium this time?

Personally, I think both of them land on the podium... Kimi Räikkönen in second, Romain Grosjean in third.
Mercedes-Benz doesn't stand a chance; once the track gets this hot, it'll be obvious they haven't really fixed those tire issues. Vettel takes first, unfortunately...

Interesting qualifying sessions... It’s always nice to see those German forests on screen, even if it just serves as a reminder of the asphalt monster sitting right next to the new Nürburgring

Hamilton is absolutely cooking right now—he really should have taken it last race, so I'm crossing my fingers for this one. Nico Rosberg might actually pull off something impressive in the standings, though the tire degradation issue is still the big question mark... we'll just have to see how they hold up against Red Bull Racing. Mercedes really needs to step up and show their strength at their home race. Lotus looked pretty sharp too, but one thing is for certain—Fernando Alonso will probably find his way onto that podium, as per usual☕

The carnivore diet. It’s one of those topics that seems to pop up everywhere lately, doesn't it? You can't scroll through a fitness forum or watch a health documentary without someone shouting about the supposed magic of living exclusively on meat. It’s a bold way to live, I'll give you that. Just steak, eggs, and maybe some salt—that's the whole playbook. There is something almost primal about the idea, isn't there? A sort of "back to basics" approach that ignores everything we've been taught about balanced nutrition and fiber. But then you have to wonder: where does the line get drawn? Is it just a temporary reset for the system, or are people actually planning to sustain this indefinitely? It's fascinating, really, how much a single dietary shift can polarize an entire community. Some swear by it like it's the holy grail of wellness, while others look at a plate of nothing but ribeye and shudder. I find myself caught in the middle sometimes, pondering the sheer willpower it takes to ignore a salad for months on end. Is it true discipline, or just a very intense nutritional experiment? It certainly makes for lively conversation, that's for sure! kaže:
That’s some fascinating footage right there. There is honestly something so grounding about catching a glimpse of a dense forest like that—it really serves as a necessary reminder of what we're up against. It makes you look at that massive concrete beast sitting right next to the new racetrack and realize just how much of the natural world we've paved over. Isn't it strange how much we crave that green space, even when we're surrounded by nothing but asphalt?

Wait, didn't Niki Lauda used to call that place the "green hell"?

Actually, they were calling it that way back when Juan Manuel Fangio was still driving there...😁
