Fernando is faster than you
Who would forget this team radio message? Felipe Massa was ordered to let teammate Fernando Alonso through during the 2010 German Grand Prix, so as to enhance Alonso’s championship chances. Ferrari earned a lot of flak for that but ultimately escaped without major penalties and “only” a $100,000 fine.
The German Grand Prix has been one of the long-lasting races on the calendar and the nature of the tracks which have played host to the race have played a huge part in this being one of the most awaited races on the calendar for teams and fans alike. This year we are sure to have more enthusiasm in the build-up to the race as compared to recent years, courtesy the success of Mercedes.
