Nürburgring circuit, which will host the Grand Prix of Europe, was leading from the start of Formula 1. German
This circuit is one of the most famous in the international motorsport, but no longer has its historic 22,835 km of track that made him a huge plot.
The original Nürburgring was opened for the first time in the middle of the decade of the 20's and hosted a total of 22 Grands Prix between 1951 and 1976. The first Grand Prix was held in 1951 with victory gives the Ferrari driven by Italian Alberto Ascari.
One of the most remembered was the accident that killed the Austrian Niki Lauda in 1976 and, following this, Nürburgring was excluded from the calendar. His appearance changed abruptly to improve safety and now the picture has nothing like the previous one.
The F1 made its reappearance on the Nürburgring circuit, running a call in 1995 European Grand Prix. Two years later would take place in Jerez, with the same name.
It became a modern circuit with few overtaking opportunities. Located in the Eifel mountains. For this location, the weather is very unstable.
Nürburgring is a maximum downforce circuit, with the modifications have increased the number of slow corners that are associated with other fast. Good traction and grip at low speed are important here as the surface is quite level changes, but it is very smooth with soft covers to be used.
Proper tuning of the suspension is free from primary to high pianos, which tend to punish the car. Overall the car must have good traction, stability, balance and grip.
The altitude is a factor to take into account in Nürburgring, as it is about 500 meters above sea level. In practice, this means the loss of 5% of engine power. The climate is another key element in the German circuit, which is usually quite cold with temperature variations between morning and afternoon, which means a major change in the grip of the cars.
Coming from the goal line, zooming around in top gear, the first Nürburgring curve is something like the first corner in Melbourne. Stepped on the brakes, down to third gear at around 140km / h, turning right and then left. Speeding up to pass on the left and the car is balanced with the throttle in fourth or fifth gear around the turn three. Slowing for the turn four, the Ford Kurve, in second gear to 115km/hy then released into the slope of the hill to the Dunlop Kurve, the fork. Leaving
power is applied there as quickly as possible, went up the hill and accelerating the shift from second gear for cornering six and seven over 250km / h in fifth and sixth place respectively. The following is the RTL Kurve curve is difficult, especially in the wet, but it is also one of the best in the circuit. Slows from gear up to the third and 290km/ha slowing from 150km / h turning the curve to the left, sacrificing and so easy to lay the foundations for the right slightly slower. This area is very important, because any error here is punished in the chicane on the track below. More importantly, if you reach the car in front, then these curves have to be perfect.
is down the hill, either in the tail of the car in front or head, is used throughout the track of the curve and passed back in top gear, you get to the Veedol Chicane and slows down so fast as possible, down five gears for this left-right.
If negotiated while the RTL and straight, then you can put next to the cars on the left and can make an attempt to overtake on the curve. Exiting the chicane you draw the Coca-Cola Kurve as thin as possible, and is back on the goal line for another lap.
The circuit has a length of 5,148 km., The race is 60 laps concerted bringing its total distance will be 308,863 miles.
In 1999, all the leaders lived a very eventful race. Herbert Stewart won driving her in front of Trulli's Prost.
A year later, the race was held in the rain and Schumacher took the opportunity to take the win ahead of both McLaren. Michael got
victory again in 2001 with Juan Pablo Montoya in second place. But it was the second Ferrari of Rubens Barrichello who occupied the first position in 2002 with Michael Schumacher second.
Ralf Schumacher took the victory in 2003, leading a double by Williams team-mate, Juan Pablo Montoya. Ralf Schumacher won the race by 16.8 seconds after snatch the lead from Kimi Raikkonen retired on lap 26. It was a disappointing day for McLaren twice: David Coulthard spun and had to retire two laps from the end, after an intense battle with Fernando Alonso. The Ferrari of Rubens Barrichello completed the podium.
Michael Schumacher achieved his third victory in five years in the 2004 Nurburgring race after crossing the finish line in first position and team-mate Barrichello. Another one-two for Ferrari in the race of the season more comfortable for the Scuderia. Takuma Sato had achieved an excellent second in the qualifying session, but an engine failure ruined his race, while teammate Jenson Button BAR yes that managed another podium by finishing third.
The 2005 race was dominated almost from start to finish for Kimi Raikkonen. However, McLaren's Finnish driver nailed his brakes trying to bend the Sauber of Jacques Villeneuve in the closing laps of the race his tires he created serious problems. When Kimi started the final round of the Grand Prix, vibration that caused his tires was so strong it broke the right front suspension of his car and the Finn went off the track by a top. Fernando Alonso was imposed with an unexpected victory ahead of Nick Heidfeld BMW Williams.
Michael Schumacher used a great strategy for the win in the GP of Europe 2006. Ferrari's German driver stole the victory to Fernando Alonso extending his final pit stop and then rejoined the race ahead of Renault's English driver. Felipe Massa finished third at the wheel of the second Ferrari. Once the responsible
World Championship have made the decision to contest a run in Germany in 2007, the Nurburgring and Hockenheim circuit will alternate from now on the organization of the German Grand Prix.
