Top F1 links from the past 24 hours:
Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso cruises to German Grand Prix victory (The Guardian)
Sebastian Vettel: “It’s a bit stupid to disturb the leaders. I think that potentially lost us the position to Jenson [Button].”
Cry baby: Hamilton slams Vettel as German Grand Prix fallout turns into public spat (The Mirror)
Lewis Hamilton: “It doesn’t really bother me what he says, I guess. It shows his maturity. I don’t think I’ve made any silly decisions throughout the race. I had nothing to gain apart from staying out of the way of my team mate.”
Vettel and Horner slam Hamilton (Sky)
Christian Horner: “Why was he interfering with the race leaders? He should have respected the fact that they were ahead on the track.”
“Vettel doing himself no favours calling Hamilton’s unlapping ‘stupid’. Remember the Kubica/Vettel/Hamilton move at Interlagos ’08.”
Intelligent Alonso shows he has all the answers (BBC)
“After standing on his Ferrari’s nose to milk the applause, Alonso turned to Button and said: ‘You couldn’t beat me?’ He then pointed to Vettel and said: ‘He couldn’t either.’”
2012 German Grand Prix (McLaren)
Hamilton: “My second-lap puncture was incredibly unfortunate: there was debris scattered across the full width of the track and I didn’t have any option other than to drive straight through it. What’s more frustrating is that, at the time, I was the eighth car through – so to be the one to get the puncture is just cruel luck.”
Ferrari Still Not The Fastest Car, Says Domenicali (Speed)
“I believe we still don’t have the fastest car, if we had the fastest car maybe it would be easier to win. We need to improve the car, and we need to make sure our car is good in all the different conditions, wet/dry, different kinds of tyres, and so on.”
McLaren MP4-27 – revised sidepod design (F1)
“The extensive list of updates include lower and more sculptured sidepods, new exhausts, new radiator installation, a revised floor in front of the rear tyres, a new diffuser, new rear wing endplates and modified brakes ducts.”
Ferrari told to ignore RBR technical row (Autosport)
Stefano Domenicali: “When I first saw the note from the technical delegate, I said ‘stay focused on our job today.’ This is something that engineers see and they try to think about. But no, stay focused on what you have to do. Forget about what is happening.”
Ecclestone’s absence fuels talk of charges (The Telegraph)
“After his office intimated that he would fly in late on Saturday, Ecclestone apparently had a change of heart, saying that he did not want to be ‘a distraction’. German media had speculated on Friday that Ecclestone might be arrested if he attended the race.”
German GP – Conference 4 (FIA)
Button on his flat spot during the final stint: “It gave me a little bit of a headache, but that was about it. It was unusual. I guess they just weren’t up to temperature when I hit the brakes that time. We’ve been very good with front-locking in this race. Normally it’s a big issue with the McLaren. In testing we had big issues with front locking. We did some set-up work and we’ve solved a lot of that, which is great for us.”
Comment of the day
There’s been a lot of discussion recently over Ferrari using Italian in their team radio messages. Bullfrog reckons it’s up to TV broadcasters to translate them instead of forcing Ferrari to use English:
Sky are asking people to pay a premium for their service – the least they can do is find someone to translate the messages, instead of making lame jokes and sounding amazed that people speak in funny foreign languages…

On this day in F1
Five years ago today a furious Scott Speed claimed his Toro Rosso team were trying to force him and Vitantonio Liuzzi out.
Sure enough, it soon turned out Speed had already started his last race: he was replaced by Sebastian Vettel at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Liuzzi was dropped at the end of the season to make way for Sebastien Bourdais.
