Sebastian Vettel is targeting his first grand prix victory on home soil on Sunday, despite qualifying third on the grid at the Nurburgring behind Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
It will be the first time Vettel has not started from the front row of the grid this season, but he still fancies his chance of victory.
"It will be a long race and you never know what can happen with the weather here," he said. "Rain is forecast, but we don't know how much we will have and when. However, in the end it doesn't really matter, the most important thing is that we have a solid race and the target is to win, which is not impossible from third - it's the clean side of the track and we go from there.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow - it doesn't happen too often that you have so many people coming here and supporting the German drivers, so I will make sure I enjoy the race tomorrow."
He admitted that he did not put a perfect lap together on Saturday and praised Webber's performance.
"It was tough session," Vettel added. "I think we had a good recovery, as yesterday I didn't really find my way, but the car felt much better this morning. I think we could have been a bit quicker in qualifying here and there, but Mark did a good lap and I think we still have a good chance from third on the grid."
