Nothing much happened, no need to worry. Rosberg now won twice (congrats) - both times on narrow "city circuits". So what? It's waaaay too early for Hamilton to get nervous or for Rosberg to think he's got it.

But.... Ricciardo has got it! Both he and Vettel scored 4 times now, but Ricciardo scores the higher points, and in qualifying leads Vettel 5:1. He definitely has Vettel under control.

And I am beginning to thimk it's Alonso who's the best Driver in the field. Again, he drives a legend with sore feets, the usual crap car that Ferrari delivers in F1. And still he's #3 in the Championships in front of the RB's.

And the Iceman is nowhere to be seen...

The fates were conspiring that's for certain. Not only does Rosberg's car keep going but who does he have behind him? Perez sans DRS!!! And of course Perez without DRS is still too fast (with the Merc engine) for the Renault powered Red Bull...

He hasn't left hospital - he has been transferred to a different hospital. After losing so much body weight and all that brings, he can't be in the best of health - regardless of his brain injury. But clearly the development that he is out of a coma and is capable of transfer is amazing given the "expert" prognosis being handed out previously. He's one tough cookie that's for sure....

Good news indeed, based on previous reports I never thought he would awake from his coma.

Let's hope he pulls through.

Schumacher out of coma, leaves hospital

Michael Schumacher, who suffered serious head injuries in a skiing accident last December, is no longer in a coma, according to his management.

Furthermore, the seven-time world champion has now left Grenoble’s University Hospital in France to ‘continue his long phase of rehabilitation’.

“His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months,” read a statement.

“The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him.”

Schumacher, 45, was placed in an induced coma after falling and hitting his head on a rock during a family ski trip. The German’s medical team began reducing his sedation at the end of January.

“For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye,” concluded Monday’s statement.

With seven drivers’ titles, 91 Grand Prix victories and 68 pole positions, Schumacher remains the most successful driver in Formula One history. He retired at the end of the 2012 season.


I just wonder what state he really is, nearly half a year in hospital, with serious injuries. I am not looking forward to the first pics or interviews since his accident, he will not be the Schumacher we remember.

It is estimated that he earned €600.000.000 and every year he gets another €10 million from Mercedes.

So that might be a possiblity.

I just hope the new Austrian circuit will be worth the watching.

And while I'm in grumpy mode, why do Lewis's pit-stops take forever?

On a brighter note, the grid girls costumes in Austria are always nice to see

Good luck to Lewis, Jenson and Max racing in front of their home fans.

I get the feeling this is the most crucial race of the season. If Lewis loses ground to Rosberg (for whatever reason)in this race then its championship over

Yes and, like the Osterreichring, Hockenheim was emasculated because the old track was deemed too dangerous.

Status: offline 		Yeah, but his driving was perfect and his team worked really well. Loved Lewis complaining that his tyres were no good and then they did the 3rd pit stop. Marvelous.

Shame he and David had a little shunt and he couldn't make the 2nd place, but after being in the last grid row and then the podium, I doubt he could really complain.

The title is getting more and more exciting. A few more days till Hungary.
