It was another bad race day for Kimi Raikkonen, who had run close behind team-mate Massa until retiring with
a loss of power, after an incident with Adrian Sutil. Red Bull Racing scored its third one-two of the season, while Felipe Massa took third place, ahead of Nico Rosberg and the two Brawns. Kimi Raikkonen: “Germany definitely doesn’t seem to bring me luck. I don’t know how many times a problem beyond my control has forced me to retire and this time it was down to debris. A shame, as I think I could have got a good result. The car was a bit difficult to drive at the start, but I think it was the same for everyone. Around lap 14, we began to see that something wasn’t right and we tried to manage the situation. Then I started to lose a lot of power and the team asked me to pit because there was nothing that could be done anymore. The incident with Sutil? These things happen in racing, we spoke to one another and I think that he also sees it that way, as indeed did the Stewards.” German Grand Prix result 1. WEBBER Red Bull
