Vettel is spared nothing today.

Now even Nico Hülkenberg, who started from 20th place and is driving a strong race, is getting it.

Shortly afterwards he drives into the pits - and to make matters worse, he is punished with a very slow stop.

Bitter for the Heppenheimer.

40/60:

Now the "point of no return" has been reached, which means: From the 41st lap, a pit stop is no longer worthwhile.

The tactic has an end.

Now all that counts is full throttle!

Madness!

Change in leadership at the Nürburgring: Hamilton overtakes Bottas

Most drivers come in now and get fresh tires.

11/60:

Leclerc comes to the pits - Vettel with a little turner.

That cost him two places.

Neither of them have anything to do with the top places for the time being - Vettel starts from 11th place, Hülkenberg taillight in 20th place.

Will they both manage to move forward today?

It's cold at the Nürburgring - the race starts at around eight degrees.

The failed Friday could make it one of the chaotic races of the season - the teams had almost no time to test strategies.

The lights will go out in a good half an hour!

So I called him and asked: 'How far away are you?' "Said Szafnauer.

Bizarre scenes occurred on Friday: the clock ran down from 90 minutes to 0 minutes twice, but the pit lane remained closed during the two training sessions because it was not possible to allow the rescue helicopter to take off.

That is why

his first training session in Formula 1, the Formula 2 leader should have driven an Alfa Romeo.

Formula 1 in the live ticker: Schumacher with huge bad luck - weather chaos causes training cancellation

4.10 p.m.:

And now the great news!

Today's Friday training session is completely canceled.

The conditions on the track make racing impossible.

The main fault is not the water on the route, but the rescue helicopter.

It could take off without any problems in an emergency, but landing at Koblenz hospital is not possible due to the visibility.

Therefore, the race management takes the only possible consequence - there will be no Friday training at the Grand Prix of the Eifel.

3:50 p.m.:

The weather at the Nürburgring is not getting any better.

The second training session will also be postponed, as the race management announced.

The further process is completely unclear - a chaos weekend is imminent.

More information will follow!

12.08 p.m.:

UN-BELIEVE-LICH!

The pit lane does not open.

This means that the first free practice session will be canceled.

So there is no opportunity for

In the second free practice, he is not allowed to start, as team boss

told Sky.

Will he get another chance later this season?

Formula 1: Grand Prix of the Eifel - chaos during the first free practice

11:59 a.m.:

Nothing new from the Eifel.

The first free practice ticks down mercilessly.

And Mick Schumacher is not allowed to get into his Alfa Romeo cockpit.

11.38 a.m.:

That's it - the free practice is postponed by 30 minutes.

But if you look at the fog in the Eifel, the situation will probably not improve anytime soon.

Mick Schumacher's big dream has been postponed.

And it is - unfortunately - quite possible that the first free practice session will not take place at all.

So that means for Mick that he won't get into the cockpit.

Update from October 9, 11:31 a.m.:

It looks like the first free practice session will initially be postponed by half an hour.

Update from October 9, 11:19 a.m.:

Really bitter for

!

The free practice could not start because of the difficult weather.

But the clock is ticking, at 12.30 p.m. the session is definitely over.

But nobody is allowed on the track yet - does that mean that Schumacher has to postpone his F1 debut after all?

The big problem is the fog: The helicopter cannot take off and in an emergency it would not be able to fly to a hospital.

That's why everything is delayed here at the Nürburgring, safety comes first.

Really bitter for Mick Schumacher when you can't go out because of the rain.

Wait and see how the decision is made!
