Hockenheim was also forced to make expensive and major track changes in order to keep the GP. That and the fact they pay so much for the privilege of running a GP really pushed up the ticket prices and now less people are willing to pay it. As people pointed out, once Schummy retired the first time, the interest just wasn't there any more.

Now grandstands have become huge Rolex billboards.

No that's the thing. They didn't have to change a thing, Bernie was happy. It was an egomaniac project by the county government. There's a brilliant documentary on it, albeit in German. That's what makes this butchery and the resulting financial problems that track had ever since then even more annoying. They inflicted it themselves, without any necessity.

That's an interesting piece of information.

Here's the documentary, if you're interested and have some knowledge of the German language:

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, they are racing on this beauty:

Never really been that fond of Mid-Ohio for some reason.

Mid-ohio might be a great track to drive, but not that much to watch the race on TV

Sauber, Kvyat, Manor and Mags out.

Poor Kvyat :lol:

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:22 pm

Well he's definitely out at the end of the season, but question is if he'll even see out the season. I really wouldn't be surprised if he's gone during the summer break.

LucasWheldon · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:32 pm

No, red bull will wait to see if Gasly take the title, they believe he's still not ready

How can Kvyat, a GP3 champion, be so slow? He's definitely destroying his career and he knows it.

When your confidence is as shot as his is, it'll show in your performances.

Ric will suffer in the race for that poor run. Kimi has some speed also

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:42 pm

Palmer, McLaren, Haas and Sainz out.

Alonso found some kerbs still bite chunks out of your car

Well Kvyat knows he is a dead man walking. That interview with Sky F1 was just pretty sad, a broken man.

Its Formula E for him then

Rosberg bailed out on his lap

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:55 pm

Electric issue for Rosberg

mclaren2008 · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:58 pm

He probably thinks he's the best ever after that

Gaara · PostPosted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 2:00 pm

Hamilton screwed up

Another solid performance from Ferrari :thumbsup:
