Alonso takes Hockenheim!!!

Another sorry loss for McLaren... Kimi was leading by a really wide margin when he suffered some car problem.

A great comeback from behind by JPM though...

Schumi also did great by jumping to the 3rd position in the opening lap. But that was all drained away when his tires began to deteriorate.

Sayang talaga yung advantage ni Kimi.
Anyway, ang galing naman ni JPM, from the last row of the grid to the 2nd place podium finish.

Schumi concedes he won't retain the title
Mon 25 Jul, 8:10 AM

The 36-year-old had previously stated he would not throw in the towel unless it was mathematically impossible for him to retain his crown.

And although the gap to Alonso is 40 points with seven races remaining, Schumacher has concede that his dream of retaining the title is over.

"I don't think I can count myself in this battle anymore," the Ferrari driver said.

"It's obvious we have to get faster but our main problem is the lack of grip with the tyres."

"In today's race (the German GP) it was like trying to fight with a blunted weapon. You can see the challenges coming, but if your weapons are weak you don't have a chance

grabe si Alonso...idol talaga. he didn't exactly come out of nowhere, but to jump to the top like he did...

poor Williams...nowhere to be seen on the leaderboard. their drivers are not the solution - they need to find and call up the next great driver...baka pwede si Danica Patrick, hehe

Yahoo! A podium for Jenson! at last!!!

They've had that problem since they changed their cars after Mika's last championship... there's also the issue of sabotage

that happened some years ago... but nowadays, it's just a reliability bugbear... none of those driver mistakes would be considered jinxes if everything else was working right.

this single tire per race is really killing ferrari.

did ferrari vote yes for this new rule on tires? or did the others approve it and ferrari was stuck in the minority.
