The German Grand Prix has been missing from the Formula 1 calendar since 2019. A disaffection for the Circus that President Stefano Domenicali cannot explain, a chill that continues despite the presence of the Nürburgring on the 2020 tracks. But it was a patch. , as it would be Hockenheim. The latter tried to return to the calendar both in 2020 and in 2021 to ‘make up’ when the Coronavirus pandemic was beating stronger than those of now (which in any case should not be underestimated). Hockenheimring has not forgotten Formula 1, in fact the opposite is likely to have happened. Because the problem is always the same: the money.
Economic difficulties have always prevented the track from returning to the calendar. But the ambassador of the German automobile club AvD Christian Danner has re-launched the candidacy. However, putting a substantial stake as a stake Discount by Formula 1, like what was given – according to him – to Imola: “We want to bring the Grand Prix that was taken away from Russia to Germany.

Outside of the German hypotheses, the candidates with the best chance of replacing Sochi are two extra-European tracks: Lusail and Sepang. Jerez de la Frontera is also hoping for the Old Continent, albeit with more limited possibilities than the Asian circuits.
