After a one-year hiatus, the German Grand Prix is back. Hockenheim, in southwestern Germany, near the French border, hosts the race on Sunday.

Mercifully, the German race marks the end of a ridiculous six grands prix in eight weekends and the beginning of the four-week summer break.

Lewis Hamilton leads the championship for the first time this season after a dominant performance at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

On the constructors' side, Mercedes are once again running away with the title, but Ferrari lead Red Bull by one point for second place in what should be a fascinating battle for the rest of the season.

From 1977 to 2006, the Hockenheimring hosted the German Grand Prix every year except for 1985 (Michele Alboreto's last Formula One win). Then, from 2008 to 2014, the race alternated between Hockenheim and the Nurburgring before the latter's financial troubles forced the race to be scrapped last season.

Going forward, it seems the Nurburgring is out of the loop, with F1 journalist Joe Saward reporting on his blog that, "It looks like Hockenheim will get the German race full-time and the Formula One group will become the promoter, keeping all revenues, including all the local subsidies."

The last two German Grands Prix were won by German drivers: Sebastian Vettel in 2013 and Nico Rosberg in 2014. The Schumacher brothers are the only other Germans to win their home race in the F1 world championship era (since 1950).
