Fourth win for Rosberg at Hockenheim

Nico Rosberg added a another star to his tally at the German Grand Prix for the 2014 Formula 1 season at Hockenheim with his fourth win of the year in his Mercedes AMG Petronas followed by Valtteri Bottas in his Williams-Mercedes in 2^nd and Lewis Hamilton taking the final place on the podium in his Mercedes AMG.

Lewis Hamilton muscled his way all the way up to the third place after a massive tussle with Sergio Perez of Force India-Mercedes, Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull Racing-Renault and Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari. Hamilton, in fact, collided with the Finn’s Ferrari and later colliding with Jenson Button’s (McLaren-Mercedes) car’s side pod at the hairpin damaging his own front wing on lap 30. The Iceman didn’t have a terrific day in his Ferrari after the collision with Hamilton. Another collision occurred when he was battling with Vettel’s Red Bull Racing-Renault and his teammate Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari. Raikonen’s car collided with the back of the Red Bull car and in the process losing more bits of his front wing, leaving him to finish just out of the points in 11^th.

Filipe Massa in his Wiliams-Mercedes Martini crashed out on the first lap after a massive contact with Kevin Magnussen’s McLaren bringing out the safety car. Magnussen survived without damage to continue the race.

Vettel finished behind Hamilton in 4^th, Alonso followed him in 5^th, Ricciardo took his RBR Renault in 6^th, Nico Hulkenburg finished 7^th for Force India, Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen finished 8^th and 9^th respectively for McLaren and Sergio Perez took the final point for Force India in 10^th.

Daniil Kvyat  of STR-Renault tried a move on Sergio Perez’s Force India on lap 9, but lost control after he collided with the Mexican in his Torro Rosso dropping further down while fighting for 7^th place. But Kvyat eventually retired on lap 46 after his Renault engine caught fire. Romain Grosjean also brought his Lotus into retirement on lap 28 at turn 2 due to loss of power and Adrian Sutil brought his Sauber-Ferrari into retirement after spinning and stalling his car at the final turn on the 50^th lap at his home race.

With the 10^th round of the Formula 1 season concluded, the Championship is still led by Nico Rosberg with 190 points, followed by Lewis Hamilton with 176 points and Daniel Ricciardo with 106 points. Mercedes AMG still hold the top position for the constructor’s tittle with 366 points, Redbull Racing Renault with 188 points and Williams with 121 points.
