Overview

• Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says he is ready for talks to revive a race in Germany and describes money as secondary at this stage.
• F1 has not secured a promoter, venue agreement, or calendar slot, with Domenicali stressing a long waiting list of prospective hosts.
• A rotation model is under consideration as a possible route back, with recent Belgian GP deals used as an example of non‑consecutive scheduling.
• Germany last hosted F1 in 2020 at the Nürburgring under the Eifel Grand Prix, after Hockenheim and the Nürburgring lost regular calendar places due to finances.
• Germany’s deep ties to F1 include Mercedes’ factory team and Audi’s planned 2026 entry, even as domestic interest has waned and Nico Hülkenberg is the only German driver currently on the grid.
