After the thrilling San Marino Grand Prix, which saw Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher fighting a near race-long battle for the lead, the circus heads to Eifel mountains and the Nurburgring for the European Grand Prix.
Though not a shadow of the original Nordschleife, the modern Nurburgring is an example of a modern European circuit. Requiring medium downforce, medium cooling, medium braking and not overly stressing engines, emphasis is on a rounded package with excellent traction.
Being based on a series of mostly slow corners, the circuit mostly fairly narrow, but it has a couple of quicker corners and a couple of overtaking opportunities; passing is not easy, but it is possible if the leading car fails to be effectively defensive.
