The European Grand Prix

"The Honda is a piece of junk when compared to the MB422..."

-Absolutely my favorite comment from the race at the Nurburgring this morning. Not that I think that the Honda is unworthy of racing, but the Benz is by far a superior car.


For weeks people are going to debate the decision by McLaren-Mercedes to have Lewis Hamilton come into the pits and go onto dry weather tires after the red flag at the beginning of the race. After having slid off of a very wet track (along with 5 other cars), sustaining NO damage, and keeping the engine running, Hamilton's presence in the race AT ALL was a bit of skill and a ton of luck. But to have him switch to dry weather tires when the track was still very damp? I have no clue what the hell they were thinking. His climb from last to ninth was still quite spectacular, especially after his crash on Saturday.

At the end of the race, Benz still took home the victory, with Fernando Alonso winning the race in the other MB422.

Go MERC!
