“I won the last race at Hockenheim in 2008 – we had a fantastic car, I got pole position and had a great battle through the field after a mid-race Safety Car to win. So I’d really love the same outcome next weekend!
“While there are quite a few low-speed corners that require good traction, I think we’ll be on more familiar ground at Hockenheim, and should be able to successfully balance our car to be relatively competitive around there.
“The big question mark surrounds some of the other top teams – they’ve shown improved performance over the past two or three races, even if they’ve not fully managed to score the results that their pace suggests.
“So it will be interesting to see just how close things have become up at the sharp-end, because this could affect the way the world championship plays out, particularly if more teams start challenging for victory in the second half of the season.
“So I think the Santander German Grand Prix will give us a very good read on form for the second half of the season.”
