Interviewed by the German press, Andreas Seidl promoted the choice to bring Germany back into the Formula 1 world calendar, underlining how the Nurburgring, theater of the future Eifel Grand Prix, is a route rich in history and charm.

According to the Team Principal of McLaren, the next weekend will offer several interesting ideas, both for the weather conditions that teams and drivers will find at the 'Ring (temperatures below 10° are expected, with a high risk of rain) and both for the heat and the fans, present in 20.000 over the weekend, they will offer to Sebastian Vettel, the only German left on the grid.

“It is important that there is a race in Germany on the calendar,” said Andreas Seidl. “It is a country rich in history, especially when it comes to motorsport, and there is a lot of passion towards Formula 1 and racing in general. I think it is also important for Sebastian Vettel and for the fans who will have the opportunity to support him during the race."

Over the weekend he added: “I'm curious to see how the weather will behave, given that in some areas of Germany it has already started snowing. We will bring updates and hope to fight for third place behind Mercedes and Red Bull."
