Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2019 German Grand Prix weekend.
Lando Norris
It was a frustrating weekend for Lando Norris. A better problem compromised his attempt to get out of Q1, and his race was ruined by a power unit failure just after he got ahead of his team mate.
Pierre Gasly
Having gone well at Silverstone, Pierre Gasly’s weekend in Germany began badly with this crash in second practice.
Mick Schumacher
Mick Schumacher donned his split ‘father-and-son’ helmet design as he took his dad’s Ferrari F2004 for a spin.
Mercedes
Race sponsors Mercedes produced a retro-themed car and donned old-fashioned garb for the race weekend. Unfortunately for them, their home race yielded their worst result of the season so far.
Start
Formula 1’s standing wet start procedure was used for the first time and went without a hitch, though both Red Bull drivers got away poorly.
Lewis Hamilton
Haas gambled during an early Safety Car, and briefly had Kevin Magnussen up to second.
Daniel Ricciardo
Daniel Ricciardo’s Renault let go in a big way, forcing him out on a rare day when a podium finish might have been possible.
Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly
The slippery run-off at the final two corners caught Charles Leclerc out. Pierre Gasly, who had a few spins of his own, pressed on.
Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen
The Haas pair were at it again. Team Principal Guenther Steiner ordered Magnussen to let Romain Grosjean past after the pair made contact for the second race in a row.
Max Verstappen
The pyrotechnics at the end of the race were tame compared to the on-track fireworks. Max Verstappen won an unforgettable race.

The photo of the Mercedes team in their retro attire is very nice – definitely eye-catching and different. Couldn’t their drivers have made an effort, though?
