In Germany, this time of year is usually warm and sunny, and Lotus is quick in these condition.
Kimi or Grosjean to win?

I'm going to make a prediction.
Remember how two races in a row at the A1 Ring Ferrari had a team orders scandal, 2001 then 2002? Well last Hockenheim race we of course had one, and with Massa's upturn in form I'm going to say he's going to be ahead of Alonso and asked to move over again. Expect to see him rewarded with a one year contract soon after.

"usually" :P
The weather this year is really bad. Lots of rain, rain and more rain and it's really cold. If the weather stays like that we're going to have Silverstone weather I fear :P

Lotus bringing "interesting updates" and Mclaren is hoping their big upgrades would help them to score a win.

For the first time I vote Vettel to win the race.. i don't think Mclaren will have the pace to fight for a win.. Poor Hammy.. It seems the championship contender will soon be predictable to 2-3 drivers only.. It seems alonso vs vettel... Even deep in my heart I really hope Webber could surprise us as this year World Champion!!

McLaren probably have the best driver lineup and they still can't capitalize. I do see Hamilton fighting at the top in Hockenhiem though.

Hopefully Alonso can pull another master stroke to be honest. Keep finishing ahead of either redbull, keep getting podiums. He can do it =]

For those with a box capable of receiving Sky Sports but don't have it, Sky are doing a 'free weekend' so you can watch their German GP coverage.

On DRS, this is a circuit that produces good racing and some overtaking anyway. The hairpin is a place where we already see it, like Canada I think this could be a circuit that doesn't need DRS. I hope it isn't too powerful, don't want it to ruin the racing.
