Hockenheim Circuit boss Georg Seiler has revealed that the German Grand Prix will be removed from the Formula One calendar this year.
Following months of uncertainty regarding the country’s Formula One race, the removal was finally confirmed due to the limited amount of time available for preparation.
“We have no more hope of having a Formula One race here this year.” Seiler told Bild newspaper.
“We did everything in the last few years to keep the fans happy.”
While Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone kept the doors open for them, Seiler claimed that time had run out and that the quality of the Grand Prix will suffer should they go ahead with it.
“We had declared ourselves willing to step in for Nuerburgring, something we were contractually not obligated to do. There were talks with third parties over taking over the risk but they were not successful.”
