Stefano Domenicali has left the door open for F1 to return to Germany
“Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is willing to have discussions to bring back the German Grand Prix, given its historical significance in F1 since 1951.
In its heyday, Germany hosted two F1 races annually – the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim and the European Grand Prix at Nurburgring from 2008-2014.
With Nurburgring and then Hockenheim dropping off the calendar, the last F1 race in Germany was in 2000.
Despite F1’s focus on new markets, Domenicali emphasized Germany’s importance, open to a revival if there’s interest from a promoter.
With a legacy of top drivers like Schumacher and Vettel and strong car manufacturers like Mercedes and Audi entering F1, Germany’s potential return could fit into a calendar rotation system like the Belgian Grand Prix recently did.”
