BMW Scores First Victory in F1 Return, Caterham’s Streak Ends
Qualifying:
Report:
Despite its recent struggles to find people willing to pay hosting fees, Germany is still one of the realest motorsport nations out there. German fans filled the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben to see what could be the last German Grand Prix for a time, around 60,000 people were on hand for this weekend.
While they were not able to see hometown hero Sebastian Vettel take a third win in a row, they at least got to see a German manufacturer win. They shared their joy with the ever-fanatic Icelandic fans: Einar Ármannsson won for Melrose Racing Team.
As Ármannsson returned to the top step of the podium for the first time since 2019, different teams were also able to celebrate: ROOKIE Racing tightened their grip on third in the championship with a 4-5 and Ferrari had both of its drivers in the points for the first time since Abu Dhabi last year.
Teams that struggled were Red Bull Racing who did not get either driver in the top 8 and McEwan, who did not get going at all and failed to look as competitive as they did in previous races, getting cleanly beaten by the two Loonmotor cars.
Race:
Fastest Lap:
Sebastian Vettel – 1:15.237
Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:
Alessio Lorandi – finally got his first points and earned every one of them.
Reject Of The Race:
Sebastian Vettel – losing a race in a way that hurts your team does not look good in the employee evaluation.
