Vettel finally wants his first Hockenheim win

“The victory is still pending. I would like to do that again this year,” said Vettel, who comes from Heppenheim, 40 kilometers away, to Sport Bild.

In 2010, the four-time world champion achieved his best result to date in the Electoral Palatinate with a third place. Vettel achieved his only victory at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in 2013. Despite the contract, no races took place in the Eifel in 2015 and 2017 for economic reasons. The future of the Hockenheimring beyond the race on Sunday (15.10:2019 p.m.) is also extremely questionable. The only thing that is certain so far is that there will be no German Grand Prix in XNUMX. The operators of both routes no longer want to pay the required signing bonus.

This may be precisely why Vettel is hoping for huge support from the stands in the fight with Mercedes and world champion Lewis Hamilton. “When you come to the Motodrom, see all the flags and hopefully a lot of people in red, then you get tingling,” said the 31-year-old: “I used to experience that as a fan, now sitting in the car and seeing it from the other side Experiencing it is a lot of fun.”

In general, the 51-time Grand Prix winner wants to continue to attack despite the championship lead and the recent triumph at Hamilton's home race in Silverstone: “Our position must not lead us to be lulled into security and allow ourselves to be distracted. We have to stay cool and sober now. The championship is very close, it goes back and forth and Lewis and Mercedes are very strong. You can’t write off Red Bull either.”

It is particularly important that Ferrari constantly develops the car. “It's working very well at the moment. In any case, I promise we will continue to push and not let up,” explained Vettel, who is eight points ahead of Hamilton before the eleventh of 21 races of the season.
