German GP Free Practice: Alonso fastest, Hamilton Crashes

Drivers had a hell of time with the wet/dry track conditions in morning practice, Massa spun five times but he did manage to keep it off the barriers and clock the second fastest time in the morning and the third in the afternoon.

Didn't quite work out that way for Lewis Hamilton, a tankslapper tossed him in the barriers tearing a couple of corners off his Mclaren. Car was only rebuilt in time for him to take to the track in the final ten minutes or so of the afternoon session, meaning he missed a lot of setup time. He did manage a 7th place time well ahead of Jenson Button, who may or may not have been engaged in a different program.

Top of the list was Alonso, showing he and the car, possibly sporting a new diffuser, have the pace. Now if they can keep the mistakes and the bad luck away...

  2. "Now if they can keep the mistakes and the bad luck away..."

    In hindsight, that's either an eerily psychic prediction or the most ironic thing I've read this afternoon!
