World Championship leader Sebastian Vettel looks forward to his return to the Hockenhiemring. The four-time world champion is yet to win a race at this circuit in front of his home German race.

The track is just 40 minutes away from the Ferrari drivers hometown Heppenhiem. He has been visiting the circuit since he was a kid and that is what makes this Grand Prix extra special for Vettel.

"I saw my very first race there, in 2000. Many family and friends come here, so that makes the visit to the Hockenheimring extra special for me," Vettel told Speedweek.

Vettel has won one German Grand Prix back in 2013, but this was at the Nurburgring. He will be hoping his rival Lewis Hamilton doesn't reverse the treatment he received at the British Grand Prix.
