The German Grand Prix

The tenth race of the formula 1 calendar was the home circuit of the Mercedes team. So they were very eager for a race win there in front of their home crowd. Qualifying saw a brake failure from Hamilton and a gearbox change meant that he ended up qualifying 20th. Nico Rosberg ended up qualifying in pole after a solid performance, with Bottas in second and Massa in third. 

The race itself was a high tense race from Lewis Hamilton, who made some spectacular overtakes. There was a lot of contact during the race which meant a lot of loss of bodywork, including Hamiltons front wing, and Raikkonnens front wing also. Rosberg led the race from start to finish to become the first German driver to win the German Grand Prix since post-war years. There was a major collision on the first corner, with Magnussen taking out Massa, continuing Massas unlucky streak. Bottas ended up finishing second, who was closely persued by Hamilton, who came from 20th to 3rd. The next race is in Hungary, with qualifying tomorrow. See you there
