"I'm looking forward to the German GP, hopefully there will be at least as many people supporting the German drivers as there were in Silverstone last weekend. Hockenheim is only half an hour away from my home town, so I have a lot of friends and family there and it's always a special crowd to race in front of. I've driven on that circuit in different series and it's always been great. The campsites near the new circuit are fun and it's special to meet the fans there. I haven't won the German GP before and of course, I would like to!"

Mark Webber

"Obviously the German GP now switches between Nürburgring and Hockenheim with this year's taking place in Hockenheim. We were last there in 2010 and it's always a good atmosphere. There are plenty of German drivers on the grid and the support for them is always massive. There's a long, long straight around the back into the hairpin, so we have a high top speed there and it's always important to get the last sector together due to the combination of corners in quick succession. The temperatures will be interesting as it can sometimes be a hot race, so I'm looking forward to it."
