Hockenheim, Germany (2019x1)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 04, 2019

There has been motor racing at the Hockenheimring since 1932, but the present track configuration only came into existence 17 years ago. The layout provides plenty of opportunity for overtaking and wheel-to-wheel racing. After a fast, but tight, first corner the drivers set off towards the forest but instead of blasting their way through the trees they turn sharp right where the track opens up into a long, high-speed left-hand curve called Parabolika. Following a rival closely through here creates a great opportunity to make a pass into the hairpin at the Eastern end of the circuit, but if successful you are soon on the defensive as there is another overtaking opportunity two corners later in front of the huge Mercedes Grandstand. The track then rejoins the traditional layout and goes through a tight “stadium” section where packed grandstands on race day create a remarkable atmosphere.
