Pirelli have announced that they will be adding Kevlar to the rear tyres for Fridays practice in Germany, making failures less likely apparently

It makes sense that they're trying to do something, and the FIA had to intervene after the weekend, even if some of the teams aren't happy at reverting to last years tyres.

P1 at The Nurburgring this morning..... The drivers have said they will walk out if there are more blowouts!!!

Lewis & Nico fastest in P1, no tyre failures to report

Hamilton pipped Knobhead by a tenth of a second for pole, set up awesome for today's race

Race is 1pm

Worst possible start of the race

What's up with the lazy race control? Surely that were 2 unsafe releases, why investigate after the race and mess with the results

Scary for the cameraman. Lucky it was no serious injuries.

Woah, that cameraman incident was crazy!!!!!

Great to see the Lotus having a right go

Good race - better than Silverstone in my view - no blowouts, and props to Lotus, some absolutely stunning driving all day.

Not so great for Hamilton and Webber, but Webber drove fantastically to get back up to the points.

Grosjean - where the hell has that been for the past two years? Drive like that more regularly and I can see a championship contender!

Great race, loved Kimi chasing down vettel at the end, bit of a shame he couldnt pass him

great race, really enjoyed it.

on another note, I noticed that while i'm in Saudi Arabia, the F1 is in Abu Dhabi, not a million miles away... so tempted to go however tickets start at a minimum of about €500

So worth it tho Stevie, Yas Marina looks UNBELIEVABLE!!!

nice not to see Red Bull just drive off into the distance. Shame kimi couldn't catch him though. nice to see Mclaren up there in the points as well

HUNGARY GP this weekend

P1 is on NOW

Brand new tyres for this one, all teams have tested them except Mercedes as that was their punishment for the illegal Pirelli test they did!!

I'm going Kimi this weekend
