F1 CEO opens door to iconic venue return but issues warning: ‘Time is running out’
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali expressed openness to a possible return to the Nurburgring, emphasizing that time is limited to make it happen. The Nurburgring was last part of the F1 calendar in the disrupted 2020 season during the pandemic, marking Germany’s recent hosting of the sport. Germany has historically been a significant player in F1, although interest has waned since Michael Schumacher’s retirement, despite subsequent successes like Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg’s victories. Domenicali stressed that Germany deserves a spot on the F1 calendar, emphasizing the importance of the nation’s connection to the sport, beyond monetary concerns. However, Domenicali also acknowledged the global competition for hosting F1 races and the urgency in making decisions, given the high demand globally.
