German Grand Prix – Race
The one update since Qualifying is Buemi’s times being discounted following a problem with his fuel not matching specification.
Revised grid: MW, LH, SV, FA, FM, NR, JB, AS, VP, MS, NH, PD, PM, RB, SP, SB, JA, KK, HK, TG, KC, JD, DR, VL*, SB. (*VL had a 5 grid spot penalty for a gearbox change.)
Air temperature 13°C; track 15°C; humidity 75%; raining fairly hard.
Formation lap: looks like the rain isn’t too bad
MW leads everyone away – they’re all on dry tyres
LH takes his place on the grid but he’s pointing at the middle of the track

German Grand Prix – Qualifying
Lotus have replaced Trulli (JT) with Chandhok (KC), his first race since the British Grand Prix last year.
Off-throttle blown diffusers are back, just as they were before Silverstone.
The tyre compound options are medium (white band; prime) and soft (yellow; option).
It’s cool (14°C) but at least it’s not raining as had been forecast a couple of days ago.
