    Any guesses on the pecking order for this race. Anyone getting a feel for the top performers at this track? I’ll go; Mercedes #1, Red Bull #2, Ferrari #3, Haas #4, Renault #5 and McLaren #6......

    So you're snubbing Ferrari and promoting McLaren?

    OK, I can live with that.

    Force India and Williams have dropped from mid-pack to the back. Williams travails are baffling. I'm sorry to see them fall from grace.

    Is it wrong (socially unacceptable) that I uncontrollably LOL every time I watch Sebas bang his head while pounding his hands on the steering wheel after running into the barrier in the rain yesterday at Hockenheimring, giving the win to Hamilton (along with both the drivers and constructors championship leads)??

    hehehe

    Curious that real rain didn't start until the podium ceremony.

    You weren’t the only one laughing. The last two races have been pretty entertaining, but can’t help but feel that Ferrari and Vettel will be pretty focused next race. The silly season is here it appears

    I didn't laugh but it was his fault. A little rain is often slicker than a lot. It must have been slick he wasn't going fast at all.

    I did chuckle. I think we are in for a decent stretch run to the championships.

    Agreed - I was actually surprised that he spun as he wasn't going fast at all.

    Spa is probably my favorite. Maybe Monza.

    Two years back (with less down force/drag) cars were reaching 375 kph at the end of the very long run into Les Combes (the "straight" after La Rouge). They will be slower (top speed) this year, but probably with faster lap times.

    Spa is a great track. It's Giacomo Agostini's favorite.

    Daniel Ricciardo won seven grands prix at Red BullDaniel Ricciardo is leaving Red Bull at the end of the season to join Renault.
    In July, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said the Australian, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was close to signing a new deal.
    Ricciardo is fifth in the drivers' championship with two wins this season.
    "It was probably one of the most difficult decisions to take in my career so far, but it was time for me to take on a fresh and new challenge," said the 29-year-old.
    "There is a lot ahead in order to allow Renault to reach their target of competing at the highest level but I have been impressed by their progression in only two years.
    "Each time Renault has been in the sport they eventually won. I hope to be able to help them in this journey and contribute on and off track."
    Horner said Red Bull "respected" Ricciardo's decision and will "continue to evaluate the numerous options available to us" for his replacement.
    He added that the team were "fully focused" on the remaining nine races.
    Ricciardo, who has won in China and Monaco this year, had been linked with Mercedes and Ferrari, while McLaren and Renault both held talks with him.
    He has won seven races and achieved 29 podium positions for Red Bull since replacing Mark Webber in 2014.
    Team-mate Max Verstappen was given a lucrative new contract last autumn.
    It made the 20-year-old Dutchman the third best-paid driver in F1 behind Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari, earning more than the $25m salary McLaren pay to two-time world champion Fernando Alonso.
    Ricciardo has finished ahead of Verstappen in both their seasons as team-mates.

    Happy to see Riccardo move on to a team that values him.
