Mercedes, who are not at all a German team, look set to add German driver Nick Heidfeld to the driving strength alongside German driver, Nico Rosberg and er.. German driver, Michael Schumacher.
However, team insiders are now worried about the Germanic… nature of the team, as during a recent shakedown of the MGP-01 at the Nurburgring, the car kept turning left and heading off in the direction of the Polish border.
Former Jordan, Williams and Toyota pedaller, Ralf Schumacher, reckons that Red Bull ‘allowing’ Mark Webber to win the German Grand Prix was a mistake and that his fellow countryman, Sebastian Vettel, should have been given the victory as he is a… better bet for the title.
You can say what you like about the Germans, at least they stick together.
Ralf said in an interview with ‘Bild’ (a German newspaper, a bit like ‘The Sun’ but with more breasts) “There are no team orders at Red Bull and that is actually an error, Sebastian is the stronger driver and he should be collecting every point he can.”
Ralf Schumacher offering advice on how to win an F1 world championship?
That’ll make everybody sit up and listen…
The Nurburgring, in its current guise is not the most exciting venue on the calendar, unless of course you are Mark Webber - or the sole flag-waving Aussie seen in the crowd on Sunday.
However, plans are afoot to change this… with the installation of a roller coaster that will zip between the grandstands and along the main straight at speeds up to 220 km/h, fast enough to get McLaren engineers worried that yet somebody else is quicker than they are.
Sadly the renowned German efficiency was not on hand, as the ‘Ring Racer’ was not finished in time and not able to go at full speed, giving debut rider, Michael Schumacher a bit of a pedestrian ride.
Maybe they need that bloke Bernie rates, you know, the one who gets things done…
Nurburgring, Saturday. Just as he seems to have perfected his grumpy expression and gallic shrug, Toro Rosso pedaller, Sebastien Bourdais looks like he might be enjoying (enduring?) his final Grand Prix weekend.
While some think that British F3 champion, Jaime… Alguersuari, is set for the drive, the good news is that the far easier to spell, Sebastien Loeb could get the gig.
Desperate to report on anything other than the Tour de France, French daily sports paper L’Equipe, reckons that a debut by a 35 year old rally driver with close to zero F1 experience is going to happen.
Too much wine for the journalist at lunchtime perhaps?
Mind you, with the amount of off-road activity during qualifying. Loeb should feel right at home…
