2014 German Grand Prix Sunday July 20,2014

The 2014 German Grand Prix will take place at the Hockenheimring in southwestern Germany.


 This season, there are four Germans on the grid: Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil, Nico Hulkenberg and Vettel. Rosberg will be one of the favourites this weekend, while Hulkenberg is one of only two drivers to score points in every race so far this year (Alonso is the other).

 It is the 34th time that circuit has hosted the race.Originally built as a Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union test track, Hockenheim hosted its first German Grand Prix in 1970


The most famous and recognisable part of the Hockenheim circuit is the stadium section, where two massive grandstands embrace seven of the track's 17 corners, including the start-finish straight.

The circuit is 4.574 kilometres long and the race will last 67 laps



The Schumacher brothers are the only German drivers to win at Hockenheim, and they did it five times between 1995 and 2006. Michael won in 1995, 2002, 2004 and 2006, while Ralf won in 2001 after his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya's engine broke down

Michael Schumacher has the most victories at Hockenheim, with four. Next on the list are two Brazilians—Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna—with three. Fernando Alonso also has three wins, including the last two races at the Baden-Wurttemberg circuit. 
Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Gerhard Berger and Lewis Hamilton have each won twice.
