| Circuit Details |
Hockenheim will forever be known as the circuit at which Jim Clark was killed in a 1968 Formula 2 race. The first race at Hockenheim took place in 1977 after Niki Lauda's near fatal crash at the Nurburgring the year before. Fittingly, it was Lauda that took the victory.
Throughout the Eighties it was McLaren who were the dominant force, Alain Prost taking victory in 1984 and Ayrton Senna winning in 1988 and 1989. Michael Schumacher's emergence in the Nineties gave the Hockenheim crowd a hero of their own to cheer, although 'Schumi' has not had the best of luck at his home grand prix, winning only twice.
Hockenheim used to be renowned for its unique layout, which combined a twisty stadium section with a flat-out blast through the forests. However, the circuit was extensively modified in 2002 as it was no longer deemed safe by modern standards. Unfortunately, like so many newly remodeled tracks, the circuit has none of the character of its predecessor.
