If you're reading this "live" as it's being posted, chances are you've forgotten that the German Grand Prix is being telecast live from the Hockenheim race course on SpeedTV [speedtv.com] at 8 AM.
Sure, it's not the 1965 version of the Hockenheimring with its long 200mph+ straightaways that claimed the life of racing legend Jim Clark in 1968, much less the classic 14-mile long Nuerburgring with its notorious Nordschleife ("Northern Loop") winding around the Nürburg Castle; the course nicknamed "The Green Hell" by Jackie Stewart is still widely considered the toughest and most demanding race track in the world.

Today's race is likely to be the last Formula 1 event held at the Hockenheimring, as Germany's been reduced to a single Grand Prix on the arduous 18-venue F1 schedule. But rumors are that race organizers are considering combining the two courses sometime in the near future.
Who's gonna win?
Well, it's a German race.
Michael Schumacher's from Germany.
And he's driving a Ferrari.
Your turn to take a wild guess.
