The 2011 Formula One World Championship reaches the midway point this weekend as the Nürburgring plays host to the German Grand Prix.
The FIA have fully retracted all mapping restrictions whilst off-throttle, although mapping changes from the start of qualifying are still strictly limited.
The weather looks set to be variable, with cool conditions predicted throughout the weekend. Whilst this will help boost raw engine power, the low ambient pressure of approximately 950mbar will negate any benefit.
