LONDON: German Formula One fans, heading to the Nuerburgring with their cars and camper vans loaded with beer and sausages, will be drinking to the success of Sebastian Vettel this weekend.
The party will really kick off if, as locals hope, the 22-year-old Red Bull driver becomes the first German to win his home grand prix since seven times champion Michael Schumacher retired in 2006.
Like Schumacher, Germany's greatest motor racing talent of the modern era, Vettel is a winner. He is young, fast and sure-footed in the wet. He also lives in Switzerland.
