Track description by Mike Rockenfeller
“I really like this track. It’s crucial to have a stable car under braking, especially in Turn 1 and before the chicane. You have to brake hard and for this you need stability. These two places offer the best overtaking opportunities. Also at the Nürburgring we will reach higher top speeds with the new turbo engines and that means we’ll have to be on the brakes earlier. This will make overtaking easier, but tire wear will be more extreme. As a spectator, I would probably sit at the chicane, it’s a great place to see how the drivers decelerate and do a bit of curb-hopping before accelerating again. And it’s not far from the paddock.”
