Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2016 German Grand Prix weekend.
Mick Schumacher
A familiar face in the paddock: Mick Schumacher’s father won the German Grand Prix more times than any other driver.
Valtteri Bottas
The Williams got away from Valtteri Bottas during practice.
Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen explored the limits of the track during practice – he went wide 14 times at turn on in first practice alone.
Daniel Ricciardo
The trademark sparks from beneath Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull: he was once against the fastest non-Mercedes in qualifying.
Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso celebrated his 35th birthday during the race weekend but left the Hockenheimring point-less.
Lewis Hamilton
A lock-up for Lewis Hamilton at the Spitzkehre cost him his shot at pole position.
Start
Verstappen pounced on his team mate to take second as they both dodged past a slow-starting Nico Rosberg.
Nico Rosberg and Max Verstappen
Rosberg’s attempt to reclaim his place from Verstappen led to a penalty after he was found to have forced the Red bull driver off the track.
Kevin Magnussen
Kevin Magnussen and Carlos Sainz Jnr fought hard but neither added to their points hauls in Germany.
Daniel Ricciardo
While Ricciardo celebrated his podium with a ‘shoey’ the other occupants of the rostrum used more traditional vessels for a sip of champagne.

MAG was sold by the pitcrew with a stupid 2 stop strategi – even a child could see this was a big mistake.. but helped SAI, KVY and MAS, they looked like big stars overtaking him…give MAG a decent car and strategi so he can perform..
