Hamilton and Rosberg were great again. It was great to see a German winning at Hockenheim. Hasn't been done since Schumie.
Bottas had a GREAT drive. He's turning into a solid driver, and a threat at every race.
Massa has the worst luck! Flipped the car on lap 1.

We enjoy his driving and are Pro Massa. That said, IMO Massa moved in and chopped Maldonado's(?) line into the corner where he (Maldonado) was already committed. His comment about "young driver errors" hopefully were ammended upon review of the replay where is clearly shows Massa made the error with his turn-in line touching tires causing Massa's car to flip its' lid onto its' rollbar.
Agree, the mid-pack battles were great, and gotta give Hamilton credit for starting 20th and making it all the way to 3rd place! And that Bottas is exhibiting some great talent, and gathering much needed team points with podium finishes that translate to multi millions $ at seasons end.
