Championship Race Off
An evenly-matched race
The Mercedes team has two top drivers, Hamilton and Rosberg, and knows how to win Formula 1 grand prixs. In 16 races in 2014 there was always at least one Mercedes driver on the podium. No wonder, the current car has the Midas touch. However, Ferrari is also on the track with one of the most reliable cars in the sport. The accelerators on the controls are almost always pressed right down, so there are no breaks for the drivers, certainly not in the tight 'Su?dkurve' bend. Whoever is ahead on the long straight has an advantage, but that can change instantly in the loop. A battle of nerves is guaranteed, right up to the chequered flag.
