F1 2013 Race, German Grand Prix.
Vettel, Raikkoenen, Grosjean.
Nurburgring, 5-7 July.
Not to take anything away from Riakkonen and Grosjean, I think the biggest part of their success in this race has to be down to the team as a whole and the car being really dialed-in for this circuit. As it was back in Bahrain in April, where they got a 2-3 podium in the same order. So, it signals to me that, unless it is a coincidence, that it is down to the cars and the team being in tune with the circuit design.
This is a factor a team could use to measure their potential performance as a preview to even attending a race. The teams will have all the telemetry and technical data about every track and I bet this will show similarities at least between Bahrain and Germany's Nurburgring.
So, men of the race (and team), for this F1 fan, really has to go to Raikkoenen 1st, Grosjean 2nd and Lotus-Renault overall. I love to see a team emerge like this. I bet they do it again at the next Bahrain-esk / Germany-like ring, (although I am not sure what that circuit is).
It is to do with the technical telemetry from the car, when it is on a flat-out timed lap. Not necessarily to do with the shape of the track, length or cambers, but, they will all be factors!
