F 1 German Grand Prix: A "crazy script" with constant "reversals" and "accidents"!

Max verstappen became the final winner of the German Grand Prix as a "black horror comedy", and when Mercedes experienced a nightmare at home, sebastian vettel returned to the podium from adversity.

The first rain battle of the season officially started after three formation laps led by the safety car-the race was shortened from 67 laps to 64 laps. However, less than two laps later, Sergio Perez hit the wall after turning at 1 1, and let Bernd Mayrand drive the safety car back to the track, which also became the beginning of all the chaos.

Under the safety car, Alexander Alben and Vettel took the lead to stop and put on semi-wet tires. After a lap, most drivers were led by Hamilton, who took the lead after starting from pole position, and Mercedes completed another confiscated "double pit stop" to ensure that Hamilton and Walter Botas continued to lead.

The Finn took advantage of Vestapan's poor start and rose to second place. Although the Dutchman was once surpassed by kimi raikkonen, he surpassed Alfa Romeo before the safety car appeared.

On lap 15, daniel ricciardo had to stop after the engine smoked, causing the track to enter the virtual safety car for a short time. During this period, the rain gradually weakened, and the Red Bull driver, who had won a victory this season, was eyeing Botas's position, but the engineer told him to be "patient".

From the beginning of the race, the team kept close communication with their drivers about the weather. Vettel became one of the first drivers to put on dry tyres after 20 laps, while Red Bull took action on lap 25, but only put on neutral tyres for Vestapan. This decision almost ended the Dutchman's race ahead of schedule, because the tire temperature was too low, and he staged a thrilling "drift" at 13 corner.

When most drivers put on dry tires one after another, the microsecond track environment became a dangerous "minefield" and planted seeds for the final chaos.

Lando Norris stopped because the car lost power, but the virtual safety car just ended. Charles Leclerc, who climbed from the tenth place to the second place, lost control on the gravel road in the last lap with soft tires. Monaco people regretted their mistakes and the safety car was dispatched.

Unexpectedly, before Ferrari 16 could be towed away, Hamilton, the leader, also suffered a nightmare in the same place. Compared with leclerc, his left nose can continue to move after hitting the wall, so he directly crossed the track and the isolation belt in front of the pit and returned to the pit.

However, Mercedes-Benz was not ready to take out the spare nose wing, and the team's first reaction was to replace a set of soft tires again. However, the team suddenly decided to change the semi-rainy tires. The whole process took more than 50 seconds, which made the British drop to the fifth place after leaving the station.

But to make matters worse, the British were fined five seconds for returning to the pit from outside the prescribed route.

The race was led by the safety car in the first half. At first, Vestapan took the lead, followed by Nico Hulkenberg, who had never been on the podium.

However, Botas and Hamilton soon overtook German drivers at home. Soon after, Hogenberg became another "victim" of the 17 turn, and the safety car was dispatched again.

At this point, Red Bull recalled Vestapan to the pit and changed him into a semi-wet tire. On the same lap, Vettel in the integral area also stopped and put on the same tire. The safety car was four laps ahead, while the Dutchman firmly held the first place in the face of the two Mercedes-Benz cars behind him, but after only one lap, he returned to the pit and put on soft tires again.

Because the two drivers were too close, Mercedes couldn't perform a double stop. When it was Hamilton's turn, he accepted a five-second penalty. Not surprisingly, the Dutchman returned to the lead again. Only this time, Lance Stroh and Daniil Kvyat, who boldly put on soft tires, followed closely.

It is a golden opportunity for Botas, who is in urgent need of narrowing the integral gap, to let Hamilton fall directly out of the integral area. Finns caught up with Strahl, who had been overtaken by Coviatt, and soon entered the DRS area. However, Mercedes-Benz drivers can no longer get close. On the contrary, on lap 57, he hit a wall and retired after losing control of corner 1. Mayrand drives a safety car for the fourth time.

When he left, the race entered the last five laps.

Vistaand's leading position has been very solid, and Coveyat and Strahl, who have had podium experience, are eager to taste champagne again. Botas's retirement made Vettel the biggest beneficiary. With the great advantage of racing, he didn't waste any second, cleanly surpassed two young opponents and grabbed the second place.

However, it was too late to catch up with Vestapan.

Amid the thunderous cheers of the Orange Legion, Vestapan clung to the pit wall and passed under the flying grid, winning his second victory this season and helping Red Bull-Honda win the championship for the second time in three grand prix weekends.

Moreover, he also made the fastest lap time in the whole race and was selected as the best by fans with absolute advantage.

Vettel made an incredible counterattack from the twentieth place and won an amazing second place.

However, Coveyate, who returned to F 1 this season, returned to the podium after the 20 16 China Grand Prix. And this also made Honda win the double podium for the first time after the early 1990s.

Although Straahl missed the podium for the second time in his career at the last minute, he defended McLaren driver Carlos sainz in the final stage and achieved the best result for Racing Point this season.

The Spaniard performed well in the whole race, without any mistakes under the difficult track conditions, and staged many wonderful overtaking performances.

Alben, who participated in the rain war for the first time after entering F 1, also performed convincingly. Hogenberg triggered the safety car period, and he was in fourth place. In the last few laps, Thailand's rookie faced the close pursuit of Red Bull compatriot Pierre Gasley, and the line was watertight. On the contrary, the French, eager to overtake, misjudged when trying to attack from the right, which led to the direct retirement after a flat tire.

It is worth mentioning that among the top six drivers in this competition, except Straahl, the rest are all young drivers from Red Bull.

Raikkonen once skidded off the track at the last corner, but he became one of the few "survivors". Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinaz, who finished eighth, scored double points for Alfa Romeo.

The last two places in the integral area are occupied by two Haas drivers. At the end of the race, Grosjean and magnuson, who just crashed at Silverstone, collided in a big fire. Both of them complained to the team that it was the fault of the other team.

Fortunately, I brought back at least three points for the team this time.

Hamilton, who was ill all weekend, won the first 1 1 and failed to get points for the first time this season. However, due to Botas's retirement, he still leads the drivers' annual championship with 39 points.

In this race in which seven cars retired, Williams' two cars survived and won the best finish ranking this season. Robert kubica finished the race before teammate george russell.

After laughing at Hockenheim, Vestapan ranked third in the drivers' annual standings. The gap between him and Hamilton narrowed to 6 1.
