Formula 1 is testing alternatives to its racing calendar, which has been mixed up by the corona pandemic. Hockenheim was not planned for 2020, but has now been contacted. The management of the traditional Baden course is open to the possible staging.
According to their own statements, the operators could quickly set up a Grand Prix in a light version. “Within a week, the alignment would be feasible in a significantly slimmed-down version,” said Jochen Nerpel, who among other things. runs the business.
The advantages of the course are only too well known to the Formula 1 bosses during the crisis: The Hockenheimring has tradition, experience and reliability. Formula 1 had a guest at the Motodrom for the 37th time last year. The spectacular race in Germany could only be saved by a sponsorship from Mercedes. For 2020, the German Grand Prix could not be financed by the operators.
