A Bird's-Eye View of the Hockenheimring

2016 German Grand Prix preview

Hi there! It's time for some Grand Prix racing again this weekend and the event will take place at the legendary Hockenheim ring in Germany.

The track used to be a bit different and here you can see the difference:

I personally liked the old circuit more with the forrest part. I know it was mainly just driving straight but you could see a lot of overtaking there. Smaller teams that didn't do that good could get an advantage in Hockenheim too if they were fast on the straights. 

Before I reveal my predictions here are a few videos from the 2010 German GP:



I hope something like this doesn't happen this year but I hope the weekend will be unforgettable anyways. 

Here are my predictions for the 2016 German GP:

Pole position: Nico Rosberg, Mercedes

The race:

1. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes
2. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
3. Sebastian Vettel, Mercedes

Fastest lap: Nico Rosberg, Mercedes

Surprise: Valtteri Bottas, Williams
