The technical upgrades are now being seen at every race with the latest in the trend being Ferrari F10′s revised exhaust system and Red Bull RB6′s F- Duct system Modification. Both cars had already been very successful and out of reach with the previous upgrades and these new additions will give them a huge boost over their rival teams.
McLaren’s drivers also have expressed their concerns over their car as the
y pushed it to the limit but still they were .7 seconds off Vettel even though he had not had his best lap yet. Jenson Button was ver

Webber for instance after a glitch in the first sector managed a comfortable 4th place start. McLaren have also brought up their new upgrade in the last race with their MP4-25 with their revised new front wing. It also took them time to get the car into balance this weekend and finaaly got it right in time for the Qualification Session.

Bulls have already worked on their exhaust system and now are improving on their F- Ducts thus improving their speeds. This upgrades are bothering their rivals a lot who are trying a lot to keep up with their rivals.
Germany provides a great set up for a wonderful race amidst all these stiff competition. T
he circuit provides a mix of entertainment, an atmosphere of fierce competition and also a wonderfully architectured circuit.
It has a wonderful blend of the straight lines and also the corners at the right places. It provides good opportunities for overtaking and also the drivers have to control their cars properly to avoid any accidents. We have already seen two cars crashing into the side walls. Liuzzi crashed into the side pit wall and Hamilton skidded of the circuit to hit the wall barricade and damage his front nose and rear wing.
The circuit has three very steep curves and Parabolika and a Hairpin and also chicanes at the correct places.
The race also have six German drivers and also a home team. It will also be a reunion for Schumacher with his home GP.
Hope for a blast of a race!! And may be the German driver Vettel pull it off!!
