Preview quotes from Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber ahead of this weekend’s German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.

Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull

“(The Nurburgring is) one of the longer tracks, and one I know very well from when I was racing in the junior series in Formula BMW and Formula 3. I’ve always had a lot of fun on this track. In 2009, I made it to the podium for the first time in Formula One, when we got a one-two, and it was a fantastic experience thanks to the German fans. The best part of the track? Driving out of the Mercedes-Arena and into the Mullenbach loop is good, then down towards the Dunlop hairpin, you have to put it in third or fourth gear there. Then onto the Schumacher-S into the Warsteiner bend and back down towards the ADVAN arch. If you are (a fan) looking for action, you should go for sections where overtaking is possible, so at the first corner. The fast corners are exciting as well: the Mullenbach loop, the Michael-Schumacher-S, and the section following the ADVAN arch, shortly before the chicane.”

Mark Webber, Red Bull

“My best memory from the Nurburgring, and one of the best of my whole career, has got to be my first Formula One win there in 2009. It was such a special day and to win it in the style that we did that day was incredible. I prefer the Nurburgring to Hockenheim; it’s got a bit of character about it, with some old school camber changes and old kerbs. The best part is Turns 5 and 6, the fast left which goes into the tight right.”
