Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

Now the favourite for pole - Kimi Raikkonen. Comfortably quickest with 1:14.320. Can Alonso or Montoya beat that?

Even in the first sector Alonso is way off Kimi's pace. He finaly slots in behind Button with a 1:14.904, still quicker than his teammate.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

Montoya is super quick at the start of the lap, but screws everything up at the final turn and clouts the wall! Good for Alonso but not for the hardworking McLaren mechanics.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

So Kimi takes pole, but Alonso is right behind him, which is all Fernando will need to keep doing in order to secure his maiden championship.

As usual we'll have to wait and see how the strategies play out. I'd expect that the heavy hitters are all on similar loads. Button and Schumacher lighter.

I guess Montoya can have a new engine now? The ten position penaly will not affect him since he is at the back of the grid anyway. Might be better to take over the spare if his race car requires extensive repairs.

Another bright point to note is that Williams are firmly back in the top ten after their last couple of poor efforts.

Bloody hell! I tune in just in time to see that.

Congratulations Fernando Alonso - 2005 WDC.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

I make that the third time this year Kimi has retired from the lead of a GP. Add that to his 10 position grid penalties and it is frightening.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

I wonder how fueled up Montoya is? He could jump both Button and Schumacher if the stops work out to his advantage.

And the BAR pits soon after. Now Montoya will need to find a way past Schumacher.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

Schumacher in, releasing Montoya. What can he do with his McLaren?

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

Slow lap from Montoya, did Schumacher hold him up intentionally? If so it backfired cause Jenson retains his advantage over the Ferrari.

Re: 2005 German GP - Hockenheimring

Montoya had some problems lapping traffic but now he is getting serious, posting his personal best lap. Trulli has been awarded a drive-through penalty for ignoring blue flags and baulking Montoya.

Monty pits, he should have enough time to make it out ahead of Button for second place.
