F1 2013: The German GP.

Can Vettel for the first time win a race in July and his home race..? Rosberg will have to come from a long way after a strategic error in Q2. Hamilton is on pole though and will be looking for revanche after his race in Silverstone last week. A lot will depend on the new and improved Pirelli tyres though!

Boring race, first German win for Vettel, all others unable to threaten him maybe with the exception of the lotus cars. Mercedes back to the beginning of the season on the new tyres, dropping back early in the race. Guess RBR and Vettel will grab two more titles this year..
The only highlight of this race was Bianchi's car driving off on its own after the engine exploded and Bianchi had to jump out.
Note - Pic qualified 19th, but takes five-place grid penalty for gearbox change.
 
Wonder how today's race would've turned out if it were Kimi in that seat instead of Vettel :ques:
 
Guess will find out next year as Kimi seems to be first in line to replace Webber at RBR for 2014.. :kilroy:
