This season a few old circuits will make their appearance again in Formula 1, including Nürburgring in Germany. Sebastian Vettel is already looking forward to racing in his home race.

Liberty Media is still busy putting new Grands Prix on the calendar, despite the fact that the season has already started. Last week the organisation announced that more races will be added, including a Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.

The last time Formula 1 visited the circuit was in 2013, when Sebastian Vettel took victory. The German driver is therefore eager to return to the track. "The Nürburgring, what a big surprise! Still a Grand Prix in Germany this year", Vettel told the German press agency dpa.

Keeping an eye on the weather forecast

"I've driven three times there in Formula 1 so far. With Red Bull I have won it twice. Once I was second and the last time in 2013 I managed to win the race", the German continues.

The race won't be held until October, which means it could have a big impact on the Grand Prix again. "It will certainly be a challenge for the teams and for us as drivers. I'm already excited about what the weather will be like in October," the four-time world champion concluded.
