Vettel: Home GP is motivation posted in F121 | 07 | 2010

Fresh from the controversy at Silverstone where he appeared to receive preferential treatment from his Red Bull bosses, Sebastian Vettel heads to his home grand prix comfortable he will not feel extra pressure from the German crowd.

"The fact the next race is my home grand prix doesn't give me any extra pressure," the 23-year-old, who has yet to win a grand prix on home soil, said.

"If anything, it's extra motivation so maybe I can squeeze an extra tenth or two out of myself and the car simply because of that support.

"We have a strong car and should be able to put a good show on. If it's your home grand prix and you have so many people cheering for you, it's something you will always remember.

"You look forward to your home grand prix, but what you like to see is that the people around the track are enjoying it and being passionate.

"There are some races that have something special about them and hopefully plenty of people should come to Hockenheim."
