I hope its a dryish qualifying and a wettish race, just to keep all the drivers on their toes – and it would be nice to see the top teams make a few more mistakes and the lesser drivers get into the points again.
The trouble is Ferrari and McLaren are both where they are because they do usually learn from their mistakes, but we can all hope….

I hope neither of the top team gets it act together, because if they do it’ll be a quick march to all the titles. Hopefully incompetence will keep it tight until the last few races.

Sorry, previous comment should say “both drivers are HARDLY sterling when coming home in grandeur points”.

The thing about Ferrari, in wet conditions, is that both drivers are sterling coming home in grandeur points. Massa (and I hope he proves me wrong) is made to look novice in the rain. Kimi can charge well, but he’s no rainmeister ala his predecessor.

On the other hand, Lewis Hamilton does do well in the wet and the way he can blister his tyres in the dry can be an advantage.

Still, in Hockenheim Ferrari have come on top in recent years, be it down to Schumacher (or even Barichello) we’ll have to wait and see.

Yes, it is really time for Kovalainen to step up now and perform at the same level as the car or he’ll risk being dropped after one season even though that is not the usual McLaren way. To be far behind both BMW drivers is no good in the constructor’s race. And those double overtaking moments he suffered in the hand of Massa in Canada and Heidfeld in Silverstone is downright embarassing for a racer.

I agree that the constructors title will be easily won by Ferrari, even if they fail to win the drivers’, unless something very unusual happens…

With Kovalainen’s current form, even if Hamilton scores a sring of wins, Massa and Raikkonen are surely expected to make regular podium visits.

Kimi had a decent race here in 2006 aside from the clutch failure, so should be on top form.

Weather has always been a part of racing. Their current driver line up have shown to have inconsistent wet weather driving ability, which is not acceptable considering the investments made in them.
