The Hockenheimring in Baden-Wurttemberg hosted the thrilling Formula 1 German Grand Prix this weekend. Fans had the chance to watch the most nerve-wrenching race so far this year, providing great uncertainty until the very end. The unexpected rain made the race even more exciting, leading to unexpected outcomes.
Let’s start by saying that this definitely wasn’t Team Mercedes’s weekend even though they were celebrating 125 years in motorsports and also the team’s 200th race in the Formula 1. Everyone expected great results from them since they qualified really well, having Lewis Hamilton in the pole position. But in the race, Hamilton finished in 9th place and Valtteri Bottas crashed which made this race the worst Mercedes had so far this year.
Once again, the 21-year-old Max Verstappen gave everyone a small glimpse of his evidently great future, showing near-flawless skill and talent on the racetracks. The Dutch Red Bull pilot brought them the first place, finishing with a time of 1:44:31.275 and earning 26 points. Ferrari’s driver Sebastian Vettel finished second with + 7.333s and Toro Rosso’s Daniil Kvyat finished third giving this race a pretty unique finish score.
