The 2021 season had a whopping 22 rounds and will be eclipsed by the 2022 season, where the F1 circus will visit 23 destinations. Thus, multiple drivers experience the glorious feeling of a home race. However, the beloved Germans on the grid will miss out. Thus, F1 boss Stefano Domenicali hopes to give Mick Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel a home race soon.

The last time F1 visited Germany was for the Eifel GP in 2020. Thus, the iconic Nurburgring has remained and will continue to remain devoid of F1 cars. Further, the historic Hockenheim circuit awaits F1 action. In a recent interview, nostalgia hit Domenicali, who hopes to bring back the German GP. “The Germans are passionate motorsport fans…”

Serious about the discussion, Domenicali promises to do everything he can to make it happen. “This is one of the reasons why I would like to talk to the promoters and other interested parties in Germany at the beginning of 2022. It should be an open discussion to sound out how Formula 1 can return to Germany. And I will take an active part in it.”

In order to get this done, Domenicali believes he’d have to market the German drivers on the grid. “With Seb (Vettel), you have a four-time world champion and an incredibly talented pilot in the field. You have Mick Schumacher, who is at the beginning of a promising career.”

The resurgence of interest in the sport in the country will be crucial to pulling this off. “It’s about bringing back the interest that Germany should have in Formula 1. For me, it’s a priority.”

Volkswagen introduction could further boost German F1 sentiments

Volkswagen has been interested in making its way into the sport. Therefore, the CEO believes it would further propel the German emotions he wishes to evoke. “I hope that this can be an additional, positive element.”

VW has been on the fence, and Domenicali awaits its decision. However, he hopes the manufacturer will fall into F1’s sustainability practice. “I hope that they will make a decision soon. It was great that they were involved in developing the new drive rules. Now it’s up to them to take the final step.”

To conclude, the honcho added, “Mercedes that have won the constructors’ world championship title and have dominated Formula 1 since 2014. Eight manufacturer titles in a row, nobody has achieved that before. A great achievement. But anything that increases the interest of the Germans is welcome.”

So will the German GP find its way back into the F1 calendar? Stefano Domenicali seems eager to pull it off; hence, it’s only good news for Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher.
