Formula One Germany Grand Prix Betting 2011
The German Grand Prix is one of the most famous and prestigious races in Formula One. The Nurburgring is one of the most difficult tracks to navigate in Formula One which makes it a less than favourable race for the majority of the drivers.
Formula One Germany Grand Prix betting 2011 is going to be dominated by Sebastian Vettel, the current World Champion, who will be returning to his home land looking for more points to enhance his position at the top of the driver standings.
German Grand Prix Betting
Punters can forget about one of the lower profile drivers coming through the field and upsetting the top players because this is not something the German race allows. The sheer length and brutality of the Nurburgring means only the stronger and quicker cars will have any chance of completing the race forgetting about the issue of a win.
The McLarens could do well for their drivers in German Grand Prix betting because there are some large areas of track where Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button can squeak out a few seconds in terms of straight line speed.
Mark Webber is also going to feature prominently in German Grand Prix betting. Webber is one of the best drivers in the world when it comes to tracks that combine good length straights with difficult corners over a longer than normal distance.
The Nurburgring
The Nurburgring is widely respected in the Formula One world as one of the most difficult tracks that drivers have to navigate throughout a season. The distance of the race is on the longer side at 308.863 kilometres which means 60 laps of the 5.148 kilometre track.
The Nurburgring includes arguably the most difficult start in Formula One with four fast corners virtually in the same area of track after a long run of straight into the first corner. This has produced numerous crashes throughout the years that F1 racing has been held at this location.
Sebastian Vettel in Germany
Sebastian Vettel in Germany is a fearsome proposition. He enjoys more support in his home race than anywhere else which is natural but he has also been made to follow in the foot steps of the great German driver Michael Schumacher. Schumacher still holds the lap record at the Nurburgring with a time of 1:29.468.
The chances of Sebastian Vettel in Germany winning are very strong. The outcome of the race is likely to be decided by who performs the best in qualifying. A great start to the race is not the be all and end all because there are places to overtake. Qualifying shows who has got the best setup car to exploit the straights.
Underdogs for the German Grand Prix
Nico Rosberg is one of the classic underdogs for the German Grand Prix. Rosberg is also going to enjoy a lot of support and he does have a very quick car. The problem for his Mercedes GP team this season has been getting the setup right because they have shown they have a car that can compete with the top six.
