European GP Weekend
This weekend sees the teams hit Nürburgring for the European GP.
Lets recap all that has happened in the last couple of weeks, and what the results should show over the weekend.
Obviously the news has been focusing on the leaked data scandal between Ferrari and McLaren. McLaren are stating that the team have not seen any of the data, and have no parts or designs from the Ferrari on the car. The FIA hearing takes place next week, so we should know what the actual facts are then, but the story will obviously sit over the race this weekend.
Raikkonen is looking strong after his win at Silverstone, so the Ferrari’s cannot be discounted this race, however the Nürburgring is a different beast to Silverstone, and the McLaren cars have looked better at the medium downforce tracks all season. Plus Nürburgring is a bogey track for the Finn.
The BMW team have lost a fair chunk of there aero team over the last week, this will obviously not hurt them too badly in the short term, but longer term they could struggle.
