None of the Germans competing in Formula One this season have won the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, giving Nico Rosberg another incentive on Sunday. Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel’s win on the Nurburgring circuit last year was his first German GP victory, highlighting the difficulty German drivers seem to have in triumphing at home. Vettel is one of just three German drivers to have claimed victories on home soil in 60 German GPs. Michael Schumacher’s four wins are more than any other driver, while his younger brother Ralf had one triumph in 2001.
Ukrainian, Russian clubs to be kept apart by UEFA
UEFA has decided to keep Ukrainian and Russian clubs from playing each other “until further notice” because of the continuing unrest between the neighboring countries. European football’s governing body made the ruling “in light of the current political situation” after the Russian and Ukrainian associations “expressed concerns about safety and security.” The UEFA emergency panel ruling means Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg and Ukrainian club Dnipro cannot be paired against each other in the Champions League third qualifying round draw today.
