Sakon Yamamoto continues to drive for Hispania Racing Team which means Karun Chandhok will be on the HRT bench. Chandhok is hoping for his race seat back by Spa, Belgium.
Mercedes will be back tracking on some of their W01 upgrades after Hockenheim. Most likely the upgrades are with their exhaust blown diffuser. The blown diffuser was introduced at Valencia but they had a troublesome race there. Silverstone was better where Rosberg scored a podium but Germany turned out to be bad again.
In the Thursday press conference Massa was asked if he is number 2 in the team now. Massa replied back that if he is the number two driver he will not race anymore.
Forecast is for rain tomorrow during practice. So its going to be a repeat of Friday practice at Hockenheim. There is a possibility of rain for Saturday, but Sunday should be dry.
