Very nasty... I watched it a few times and it kinda reminds of someone breaking a leg or something. I hope that he's ok.

The McLaren is amazing. Ferrari is gonna have to step it up.


Hamilton wins back to back Grand Prix races:goodjob:

Bigger news is Nelson Piquet, the worst driver in F1, coming in second!

That was sure a surprise that Nelson Piquet won 2nd place. IMHO, Masa shouldn't opening up the space for Hamilton to pass by, that's his own fault.

open up the space or you're BOTH out the race....I believe that's the rule of thumb.

Aahhhhh...those "invisible team orders"....Mercedes needed/wanted the win and not battle with themselves. I think someone whispered in Kovi's headset. YES it was a Great race! Alot of action in this one.

I knew Hamilton was fast for a reason. :D

McLaren's four-paddle steering wheel for traction (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/2436986/German-Grand-Prix-Steering-clear-of-trouble.html)

I'm having a hard time understanding how they are able to vary engine torque output. Other than having some kind of box on the output of the transmission. And if there is such a thing as a lever that "allows the car always to have the most favourable engine torque setting for each gear" I want one on my car.

Its a secret, so I'm sure they stole it from someone. :D

How do they do it?

Remember that McLaren makes the ECU's... ;)
