2010 German GP at Hockenheim

The German grand prix will head to Hockenheim this season. With six German drivers on the grid, it is going to be a sure treat for the German fans. Speaking of which, Michael Shumacher will be seen in action after a gap of 4 years.

9 rounds remain in this years championship and there is a close battle being fought up-front. Lewis leads the standings with 145 points which 12 more than Mr. Button in the other Mclaren. After a superb victory at Silverstone, Mark Webber lies third with 128 points, just 5 points shy of Button. After surviving the first lap horror of the British GP, Vettel was ale to salvage some points which puts him seven points behind Webber on 121.

As always, the Redbull duo will be all charged-up especially Sebastien Vettel who will be looking forward to a win in his home GP. Meanwhile, McLaren have continued with their development of the MP4-25. Lets just hope they sort out all the crucial bits before Friday’s qualifying.

Start of the 2010 British GP

As part of a sharing deal, the Hockenheim circuit hosts the German GP. The track has been modified after 2001 and provides plenty of overtaking opportunities. The lack of high-speed corners means the Redbull’s won’t have the advantage of downforce.

Other drivers to look for are German Nico Rosberg who enjoyed a superb race finishing third in Silverstone. The scarlet cars have shown quite a good pace this season but somehow luck has not been on their side. Stay tuned to ICB for a full review of Qualifying and Raceday.
