Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 live
He's been in the wars today, he attacked that corner with so much speed, lost it on the apex with a big oversteer.
Hamilton off, still in racepublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 28 July 2019
Lap 54/64
Turn 1, it is a full 360 degree spin for Lewis Hamilton, but he gets it going again. Head in hands for Toto Wolff. Hamilton still has 10 laps to get himself in the points. He's 13th, but that has certainly not just helped him.
Hulkenberg heartbreakpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 28 July 2019
Nico Hulkenberg had never retired from a German Grand Prix until now.
Devastating.

Lap 51/64
Hamilton has now served his five-second penalty. Remember, we're still waiting to hear if he gets a second penalty for driving too slowly behind the safety car.

Until you go to ninth place Vettel, you're going to have a surprising podium finish.

Max Verstappen very quickly gets back ahead of Lance Stroll, who is second. Racing Point with the tactical decision of the race. A podium for Stroll?

Everyone comes into the pits. Lance Stroll had already pitted to go on the softs. Stroll storming through the field.

Incredible racing between Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Alexander Albon and Pierre Gasly, with them almost all next to each other.

Lance Stroll is on the softs. He's the only one. This could be an inspired decision if it dries really quickly.
