2019 German Grand Prix Review
Review of the eleventh round of the 2019 F1 season held at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, in South-West Germany, for the German Grand Prix.
Overall, I thought it was the best race of the season so far and one of the best Grand Prix I have seen for a while with the one with the less mistakes who would win the race.
Current Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton on pole for Sunday's race. Come race day at a wet German Grand Prix, Hamilton was unstoppable, leading the first half of the Grand Prix. By lap 27, when the track was starting to dry, the second safety car of the day appeared when Charles Leclerc crashed out of the race and then Hamilton himself lost control at turn 17, damaging his front wing and returning into the pit lane.
The team was not ready for him, and Hamilton endured a 50 second pit stop, giving Max Verstappen the lead of the race. For the rest of the race it was Verstappen who lead to the end to win this seasons German Grand Prix and Max Verstappen's second race win of the season.
While, Sebastian Vettel finished in second place in the Ferrari despite starting in twentieth place after a turbo failure in qualifying, Vettel was seven seconds behind Verstappen at the end.
Meanwhile, Daniil Kvyat finished in third place in the Toro Rosso to complete the podium for the teams first podium since the 2008 Italian Grand Prix and Kvyat since the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix, Kvyat was eight seconds behind Verstappen at the end.
Finally, Robert Kubica finished tenth in the Williams, originally finished in twelfth place moved two places up after both Alfa Romeo drivers received 30 seconds penalties each added to their race times for use of driver aids at the start of the race giving Kubica his first points since the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Kubica was twenty-five seconds behind Verstappen at the end of the sixty-four lap race.
