German GP 2016 - Hockenhiem

[Nitrodaze]

A track laid out like a ladies boots, has been redesigned lately and shortened from 4.2 miles to 2.8miles. A 67 lap race which still has the fast long section through the forest. You would be glad to know the motordrum section has been retained.



Rosberg on home tuff would be looking to regain the lead by one point with home support. If Hamilton wins in Hockenhiem, Rosberg would drift further back by a minimum of 12 points. Hence a win here is a must for Rosberg. The twisty section through the motodrum would suit the Redbull and may bring them closer to the Mercedes but they may lose out on the long fast straight through the forest. Turn four is pegged by Martin Brundle as a possible place for overtakes.

I am not sure how well the Ferrari would do on this track, but they would be keen to get ahead of the Redbulls in this race. Redbull have a chance of taking 2nd place in the constructor championship from Ferrari. With the departure of James Allison, a relegation to 3rd would not go unnoticed. We look forward to another battle between Verstapenn and Raikonen. The dutchman has got the better of the world champion each time they have battled this season. Would Raikonenn get a chance to put the rookie in his place this time round?
