Description

The 2018 German Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Emirates Großer Preis von Deutschland 2018) is a Formula One motor race held on 22 July 2018. After a one-year absence from the championship, the race returned to the Hockenheimring near Hockenheim in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The circuit last held the race in 2016. It will be the eleventh round of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship, and marks the seventy-eighth running of the German Grand Prix, and the sixty-third time the race has been run as a round of the World Championship since the series' inception in 1950.
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel enters the round as the leader of the World Drivers' Championship. Lewis Hamilton is in second place, eight points behind Vettel. In the World Constructors'
Championship, Ferrari hold a twenty-point lead over Mercedes.

Hamilton started only 14th in Germany following a mechanical failure in qualifying, but he scythed his way back through the field, and then took advantage of a dramatic rain-hit conclusion which involved his championship rival Sebastian Vettel crashing out from the lead as he sealed a famous win. Bottas crossed the line 4.5 seconds adrift of Hamilton with Raikkonen in third. Max Verstappen finished fourth, but his Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo retired for the fourth time this season following an engine problem.
On an extraordinary day, Hamilton's victory then hung in the balance for close to 90 minutes after the race as he was hauled in front of the stewards for aborting a late pit-stop, cutting across the grass, and re-joining the track.
