Will racing at home in 2020 be a success? 'That will make the race unpredictable'

Rain and cold conditions are expected this weekend at the Nürburgring and that combination has come as a surprise. Toto Wolff is therefore not completely confident that his team will win.

In 2020, as in previous years, Mercedes have been the dominant force. The German team has been dominant since 2014, but on a track where cold and rain are expected, things could be different. Nevertheless, Wolff hopes to do well in his team's home country.

''We are very excited to go back to the Nürburgring. It is an iconic race circuit that plays an important role in Mercedes' racing history. It's where the legend of the Silver Arrows was born in 1934 and we're very proud to have added a few chapters to that rich history,'' Wolff explains in the Mercedes preview.

''The Nürburgring also brings back some personal memories for me: I watched my very first race here on the track, it's where I fell in love with motor racing. I also drove many races here and even tried the lap record of the Nordschleife in 2009, which was not my best idea,'' Wolff recalled.
