Sebastian Vettel’s home town is planning a big celebration in the event that he is crowned world champion on Sunday.

Heppenheim town officials are holding off on finalising the plans, but organiser Adi Doersam told the DPA news agency that a motorcade could take place.

“It is possible, I am positive,” he said.

In reality, German Vettel’s championship chances are relatively slim. If he wins in Abu Dhabi, Fernando Alonso must finish in fifth or worse for him to be champion.

And if Vettel finishes second on Sunday, Alonso would have to be ninth, and teammate Mark Webber fifth, for the 23-year-old German to win his first title.

The sports information service has for the Hungarian Grand Prix calculated that Sebastian Vettel are gone because of the numerous mishaps this season 128 World Championship points through their fingers.

But the Red Bull driver still has every chance of winning his first world title, he just ten points missing on the leading in the standings Mark Webber.

This objective can not Vettel during the four-week summer break, the Formula 1 in mind. “Nothing in the world counts for me as much as winning the World Cup”, the Heppenheim quoted by the ‘world’.

For this he had waived at a young age to many things.
While his friend had spent the summer, usually in the pool, he was himself in karting been away. “How I wish I’d been there, but I had to work hard and train. I already was working for my goal in life,” said Vettel. However, that has always been part of his job. “One is forced to live with some form of unfairness.”

When everything is rosy red, with black and silver one looks for Red Bull Hockenheim is not brilliant. The Grand Prix of Germany was the great show of Ferrari. Fernando Alonso put in a hard battle over 67 rounds through with difficulty, hardship, great determination and the kind assistance of the team to his stable mate Felipe Massa. Sebastian Vettel was in third place in the fight for victory do little.

Massa had laid the foundation for a beautiful duel by a rocket launch. When the box was sent to the great journey, Vettel and Alonso blocked in the battle for the top one another, the Brazilian shot by loosely at his side. The Heppenheim also got second place even to his Spanish rival, the Ferrari-train could pull away again.

Behind the leading trio, Lewis Hamilton had the better top speed may push past the McLaren in the first round to Mark Webber. The Briton made his Australian opponent in the braking zone before the hairpin, no chance. For Webber, the already difficult race was later complicated. Even Jenson Button came through a better strategy yet by him.

Front left Alonso in the fight for the victory of patience in the meantime. On lap 20 his efforts culminated in an attack on Massa, who fought but successful. “This is ridiculous”, sparked fury of Asturias to the pits. He had hoped that one on him vorbeilotst Brazilians – but not yet. Alonso was unnerved to fall back to three seconds later to start a new hunt.

With fast laps he pushed himself up again to Massa. It was clear who is the faster Ferrari man. About 25 laps later Alonso finally got his way. With a few well-concealed position request to exchange Massa was slowed, the ostentatiously went to the hairpin on the gas and pull Alonso did. “Sorry,” were the words of Massa engineer Rob Smedley to his protege sad.

“Adjutant” Massa had the remaining 15 laps, only one job: controlling Vettel. The Red Bull Local Hero had been able to conserve his tires for a long time and threatened to catch up to the top. While Alonso was able to free forward well, made the German more and more pressure on Massa. Vettel was the last Rendrittel many fast laps, but was again thrown back lapping at something. Massa thus saved second place before the Germans.
While the British silver arrows drove into Hamilton ahead of Button in order to Paarflug places four and five, the concerns of the German Silver Arrows were clearly visible. Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher caught behind Mark Webber (Red Bull) and Robert Kubica (Renault) in the stands while eight and nine points, but were overtaken both! Mercedes was in phases two seconds slower than the top.

The last point landed Renault rookie Vitaly Petrov at number ten. could do little, the two Williams drivers Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg, both of which fell back immediately at the start and were later able to make little impression. Adrian Sutil had to make three pit stops and ended up in 17th place, Timo Glock was with his rank behind Virgin’s best driver of the three new teams. The Swiss Sébastien Buemi (Toro Rosso) was eliminated early after a collision with his teammate Jaime Alguersuari.

Sebastian Vettel roared the joy from his body as he had won in the qualification for the Grand Prix of Germany in pole position – to thin two thousandths of a second ahead of Fernando Alonso in a Ferrari. Impressively, however, was the lead over team-mate Mark Webber, who was fourth in 0.556 seconds behind.

“It will be interesting to calculate how big the distance of two thousandths of seconds,” the Red Bull driver. “The whole unit over Fernando was very strong. Ferrari is generally very competitive,” says Vettel, who feels vindicated in his prediction after free practice on Friday.

“It was very exciting. In the second qualifying round, I knew that we have a round, get it right. It was close, and therefore makes it a little more pressure to lose the ideal point of the tires and feel that you time, forfeit. My last lap was not 100 percent perfect. I went here and there something about the limit, but in the end it was enough to keep almost anything to get ahead and to the poles. ”

Of course it is to be allowed to go for the driver from Heppenheim of particular importance, at his home race at the very front in the race: “I am extremely happy. I will be at home for the first time on pole, but the main challenge to come tomorrow. We have here a very strong car and a very tough fight against the red cars. ”

After three pole positions in a row and lost starting duel at Silverstone hopes Vettel, that this time all goes well, “I think the clean side of the track as opposed to Silverstone this is worth something. Fernando and were I the last race surprised by the poor adhesion on the clean side. This should be good for us. ”

“We have a very strong car, it goes against the Ferrari to be very close. We usually have a decent speed in the race. It’s a long race, anything is possible. We start looking for a good job today of the best position, but the The goal is the next day. Today there is apart from the fact that you go to bed with a good feeling, nothing. “

For the first big adrenaline Sebastian Vettel had early on Sunday morning at 7:15 clock care as he rushed completely unannounced with his Formula 1 car on the old market square. It was the ultimate wake-up for “his” day in his home city of Heppenheim, scheduled in the afternoon quite the hag-fever. Some 120,000 fans celebrated the runner, which is spectacular mood for the home Grand Prix next Sunday at the Hockenheimring.

“Sensational, gigantic, towering,” Vettel said, given the Fanmassen and searched for the right words: “It was a complete success, the atmosphere was fantastic. The people are standing in several rows, and tear up his arms. I think that had fun I, in any case. ”
Heppenheim is to “Vettel home”

Because of massive interest had to be closed in both directions, police records, even the exit Heppenheim an der Autobahn A5. Some town signs adorned the name “Vettel home. ‘The streets of Monaco are forgotten. I need to talk with Bernie Ecclestone times, if we do not make the future here,’ smiled Vettel.

On the evening before, he had a little bit afraid that maybe would not get enough viewers admitted Vettel. His fans, however, instructed him one better, transforming the city mere hours before the official start in Germany’s largest paddock. Together with Mattias Ekström Vettel also turned in his DTM-Audi, Smudo Fantastic Four from their laps.
His first exit 14:44 clock lasted only a few minutes because the first course on strike. “Since you can not then the car rumwerfen correct. But do not worry, it was only a prelude,” Vettel promised his fans that were part of several hundred kilometers traveled.

While his mechanics changed the gearbox, Vettel bridged the time for the fans with additional autograph sessions at the track. He was still in the passenger seat of the Ekström DTM Audi chauffeur on the slopes.
Sign the guest book of the city

When his mechanics with the repair was finished, it was Vettel at 16:08 clock itself once again fly right past the station and the stadium. “As I have just tried to play football. They went well not so much, so I am racing then become,” said Vettel.
“I want to show people something,” said Red Bull driver, as he wrote on a piece autographs and caps tossed into the audience. “I’ve never eaten something!” At 10:00 clock, he also had an official appearance as it is in the presence of Hessian interior minister and future prime minister Volker Bouffier into the Golden Book of the City earned.

About a kilometer of road had turned the city into a racetrack Heppenheim. “The road I know so, usually because the speed is 50th, but today there are no speed cameras,” said Vettel, who was driving early Sunday morning for three shots with his Formula 1 car on the cobblestones at the old market square. “That was before secret,” he told and apologized for the unusual disturbance: “As has already stretched one or two head out the window.”

Over the past four races had Sebastian Vettel Mark Webber from his teammates were beaten in qualifying at the European Grand Prix in Valencia could fight back the German. Accordingly, happily presented itself the Red Bull pilot.

“In the last few races we had a good run on Saturday, so it is a good result,” said Vettel, who was quicker to just 0.075 seconds as his Australian team-mate.

“These lines do not, Canada and here in Valencia are among those, usually our strongest. It is good for this reason that we have set the car on the pole. Our speed looks good.”
A hair of the driver from Heppenheim would have to hire again later: “Until the end it was a tight qualifying session. On the first attempt I had a huge shock moment in the first sector. I knew I was in the second test everything on must set a card, and it worked. ”

After the qualy for once again successfully ran Vettel now looks optimistic for the race: “To this day I’m happy. It was out there very difficult, especially since we installed the F-shaft, and many other things back to the car have. Some mechanics had only an hour of sleep. ”
In the first race with the F-bay system says Vettel, for the racers expect a benefit, even if this was enormous: “He’s probably not too big, but we feel the difference. We see how much so that McLaren rectified by. We get on each round and at every attempt. ”

“Yesterday we were not quite so happy, but overnight we have taken another step forward. We sat in front of the monitors to see how we can optimize and improve the system. Also, thanks to this circumstance we find ourselves for tomorrow’s race in a good position. “

After two double victories in a row, the McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button tip lies in the Formula 1 World Championship, but Sebastian Vettel wants a new car in Valencia back to the place in the sun. “We can be back in front after the next Grand Prix,” said Vettel’s team boss Christian Horner before the Grand Prix of Europe. The bulls want to “keep up with the new R-bay system and without problems in reliability even local hero Fernando Alonso at bay.

The confidence in the camp of Red Bull is based on several pillars. On the one copied from the “inventor” McLaren F-shaft system, which is not satisfactory after a test in the free practice in Istanbul for the first time in the race and used in the simulation is to represent a time savings of three tenths per lap. “We hope an ordinary leap forward,” Horner said in the journal ‘Speedweek’.
was distributed to the other, the team hopes that repeat the transmission problems of Montréal and the defect is not the devil, who followed the team and especially since the start of the season Vettel. “Yes, we had defects, but every mistake only once. We are all the quirks to the bottom left. It’s just incredible bad luck, which happens especially in Sebastian this year, everything,” said Horner.

At the very least, the Heppenheim, which is before the ninth of 19 World Championship races in the championship behind Hamilton (109 pixels), Button (106), Webber (103) and Alonso (94) with 90 points in fifth for Valencia to be transmission probably can not change. The new device has “lost a bit of oil,” Horner gives as reason that Vettel was in the final stage in Canada are clearly lying in fourth place from the gas, “he can use it again in Valencia. Team-mate Webber, who lost by Vettel finished fifth behind the championship leader, had lost in Montréal by an unscheduled gearbox change shortly before the race five starting slots.

The Aussie, who recently was quickly four times in a row in qualifying wants to beat Vettel in Valencia again. “That he can create. For if he was behind it, it’s because of a defect, as in Turkey, due to a driving error like in Montreal or he was beaten only a tenth of a second,” said Horner.

imagine Despite the current benefit, the McLaren drivers not in security: “It’s a surprise that the Red Bulls are not in leadership. They were at every race so fast, but we have more made of it,” said defending champion button that as Webber and Hamilton this year has already celebrated two victories. Hamilton also sees its first championship lead since winning the title in November 2008 “not granted” on.
The Mercedes team with Nico Rosberg and world champion Michael Schumacher, who is the first time since 2004 on an unfamiliar route hopes in Valencia placements at less concerned with the tires and thus better. Meanwhile, Alonso is Ferrari’s home race at a comprehensive revised version of the B-F10 available, which also has an R-bay system and has taken some of the bonds in the aerodynamics of Red Bull. With the new car he was allowed to drive even at short film, Alonso will now shine on home soil – and to inspire both the Spanish and the Italian fans.

“The Italian mentality, and the Spanish are similar, and the habits of life. We both also have the same passion for the race,” Alonso describes in the ‘Sport Bild’, why he feels so comfortable at Ferrari. “We might have to say: There are two grown together, which somehow belong together forever. I have the impression that the people enjoy this combination in the world. Especially in Spain and Italy, the mood is downright enthusiastic about it. It makes me proud.”

The Grand Prix of Canada is traditionally a race where there is a number of incidents. This year’s edition after a year break made no exception dar. a rare circumstance but then it was reported: There was no safety car phase. Otherwise, the fans were many – see, fortunately harmless incidents – and especially a lot of tire problems, which determined the race significantly.

In the end, as in Turkey two weeks ago, Lewis Hamilton in the lead – ahead of McLaren-Mercedes team-mate Jenson Button. After China and Turkey, the team was happy about the third double victory of the season and twice the championship lead.

The Formula 1 2010 season includes 19 races and only two have been completed, but already has Sebastian Vettel to reason to be disappointed. In the first two Grands Prix of the Red Bull Racing driver was dominant on the way to win both races and would be 50 championship points can have on the account – would not have made him both times the technique a spanner in the works.

Thus the German ranks with twelve points on the seventh instead of a clear edge on the competition from Fernando Alonso (37 points), Felipe Massa (33), Jenson Button (31) and Lewis Hamilton (23) have. The “Project World Cup title had” the 22-year-old differently.

“In the first moment you’re incredibly angry,” the driver from Heppenheim in an interview with ‘World Online’, which reveals that he his team to radio in the first moment of his displeasure quite clearly expresses: “You cry mostly out loud ‘shit ‘”.

There was currently “no reason to panic” and of course he would already show in the next race, he can also take the victory to the finish: “The first moment is a failure always frustrating, but the next day, everything looks different again from .

“We have no big problem that could plague a team half a season,” Vettel reassured his fans. “Only the problems we got, we’ve never had, and they came quite unexpectedly, that you can not prepare you.”

could expect in the coming race Sebastian Vettel one of ups and downs at the moment we make no clear favorites – including Red Bull Racing is not a clear favorite to win at the next race. If anything, he would call the Ferrari at the moment the strongest team.
