About the German GP

The future of the German Grand Prix has been a much talked about subject over the past year, and organisers have planned extensive modifications to the track in a bid to keep it in place. The 6.8 ultra-fast layout will be vastly different for 2001, which could boost excitement and make it more of a challenge to drivers. Last year however the race was one of the most eventful in Grand Prix history, with drivers falling out of the race like flies, a track invasion by a crazed protestor, and a brilliant win by Rubens Barrichello in the wet on dry grooves.

Set up

Maximum power is the keyword at Hockenheim with its long straights, but drivers also need grip in the stadium section, which is slow and twisty. Downforce is still set to minimum settings.
