The Nurburgring is located in the heart of the Eifel mountains, close to the city of Cologne. The mountains have got a nod with the race this year given the moniker of the Eifel Grand Prix. But Nurburgring has been known as the German, Luxembourg, and even the European Grand Prix in the past. This speaks highly about Nurburgring’s significance in F1’s fabled history.
The track was completed in 1927, highlighting German’s resilience after the World War in the last decade. It has been a tough track to race in, with Sir Jackie famously calling it the “Green Hell”. The last time Nurburgring hosted Formula One, homeboy Sebastian Vettel took the chequered flag in his Red Bull. The Tifosi would be hoping for something similar this time around.
