Nurburgring Ready to Welcome F1 in Response to Domenicali’s German GP Wishes

Hosting a Formula One Grand Prix in a country is a huge deal. The Covid-19 pandemic has made it an even bigger deal, as many races have been canceled. With uncertainty still looming over the world of Formula One, F1 boss Stefano Domenicali is disappointed not to have one particular race on the calendar, i.e. the German Grand Prix.

Although the 2022 Formula One calendar is set, the F1 boss hasn’t given up. He is optimistic about Germany’s return soon.

Speaking to Sport1 as quoted by PlanetF1, Domenicali said, “I’m disappointed and also sad that we don’t have a German Grand Prix at the moment. But unfortunately, I don’t see any real interest from Germany in becoming part of the Formula 1 calendar again. That’s a shame and actually hard to believe. I hope this will change again in the future.”

However, the communications director of the operating company, Alexander Gerhard, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur, “We are still willing to talk. We continue to take the view that we can very well imagine Formula 1 at the Nurburgring, but under economically sensible general conditions.”

When is the first race of the 2022 F1 season?

Currently, the world of Formula One is enjoying the winter break, but fans are desperate to see F1 return to their screens. They will have to wait for the five red lights for just over two months as the first race of the new season, the Bahrain Grand Prix, will take place on March 18-20.

With teams using their time off to build the next generation of Formula One cars, who do you think will take home the first win of the season? Also, will Germany make its way back to the calendar? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
