2014 German Grand Prix preview

Hi there! It's time for some Grand Prix racing again this weekend and the event will take place at the legendary Hockenheim ring in Germany.

The track used to be a bit different and here you can see the difference:

I personally liked the old circuit more with the forrest part. I know it was mainly just driving straight but you could see a lot of overtaking there. Smaller teams that didn't do that good could get an advantage in Hockenheim too if they were fast on the straights. 

One of the fastest on the straights this year is Williams so they would have probably been the best on the older track. They might be pretty awesome on the new version of the track as well but Mercedes is very close and are hungry for more wins.

Sauber, McLaren, Force India and Ferrari are getting big updates and I am pretty sure that the other teams are not just sitting around so this could be a very interesting weekend! I am very sure! You will see something radical in my predictions as well ;) (the winner)

Before I reveal my predictions I would like to show you a few videos from the 2010 German GP to refresh your memory:





I hope something like this doesn't happen this year but I hope the weekend will be unforgettable anyways. 

Tell me what you think of that "scandal" below or on the facebook page or send me an email to f14lifeblog@gmail.com


Here are my predictions for the 2014 German GP:

Pole position: Nico Rosberg, Mercedes

The race:

1. Valtteri Bottas, Williams
2. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes
3. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

Fastest lap: Nico Rosberg, Mercedes

First to pit in the race: Jean-Eric Vergne, Toro Rosso

Surprise: Jenson Button, McLaren - He will be very close to a podium finish.

Remember to post your own predictions to our F1-4-LIFE PREDICTORS LEAGUE.

The rules:

POINTS:  1st - 3  2nd - 5  3rd - 10 

HOW IT WORKS: the aim of the game is simply predict who comes where in the race (top3). A total of 18 points can be won on a race day. If you get winner and and 3rd place right but 2nd wrong you get 13 points same if you get 1 correct. eg. 2nd you get 5 points. If a driver wins the race and you said he would come 2nd or 3rd no points would be awarded. Same if he came in another position, and you predicted that wrong. A table will be posted up every race weekend. The point scoring system will change once the cars become more competitive. Everyone will say a merc 1,2 so it won't be close or fun.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PREDICTIONS: send an email to f14lifeblog@gmail.com or message the Facebook page to submit your predictions. You have until lights out to make them. If you submit them when the race has started they won't count. So be quick! like the Mercedes. 

THE PRIZE: the winner of the league will win themselves a admin place on the F1 4 LIFE page along side JT, AE & MW. If you don't want to be an admin you are welcome to participate anyway. We may also come up with some other prize if it helps. 

THIS TIME YOU ALSO GET BONUS POINTS! PREDICT POLE POSITION AND FASTEST LAP CORRECTLY TO EARN 2 EXTRA POINTS! AND NOW ALSO THE DRIVER WHO PITS FIRST IN THE RACE.
