Six different drivers will be entering their home Grand Prix this weekend, with Mercedes Grand Prix being the only team to contest the race with two German drivers. Nico Rosberg’s outing will be his third at Hockenheim since making his Formula 1 debut with Williams at the start of 2006.
His first home Grand Prix ended in the Sachs Curve gravel trap although Nico, who has finished third in Malaysia, China and Britain this season, achieved a top ten finish in Germany in 2008.
“As a German driver, the German Grand Prix is always a very special weekend and it will be even better this year to be racing there for Mercedes-Benz,” he said, having raced to fourth place in last season’s event at the Nürburgring.
“I have great memories from Hockenheim, as I won there in all the junior categories that I competed in, including my first single-seater race win. There's always a great atmosphere at the German Grand Prix and the fans are very enthusiastic, with the huge grandstands in the stadium section creating so much noise!
“Going into one of the team's home weekends with the podium finish from Silverstone is a real boost for us and we will be working hard to continue our improvement in performance and have a strong weekend.”
