The person in charge of the Hockenheimring have reacted cautiously to the possible extension of the European season in formula 1. It is “currently just speculation” that the eight race comprehensive Europe-the calendar will be extended, it said in a statement on Friday: “in the same way, whether such a race would be held for us at the Hockenheimring.”
The Ring-managing Director, Jorn Teske and Jochen Nerpel were open in principle, but again significantly, for the formula 1 to the financial risk: “Certainly, we are happy to check with the appropriate question the feasibility.”
It was clear, however, that in the progress of time, the chances of that are not necessarily increased. The priority lie on a maximum economic utilization of the circuit, “and in this respect we can hold for several weeks, any unconfirmed dates for the formula 1 free”.
formula 1 sports boss Ross Brawn had asked on Thursday for more Europe-race in prospect. “Yes, it is possible to extend the season in Europe to one or two races, if it should be necessary,” he said.
finally, the formula 1 had terminated the first eight races, Hockenheim has not been taken into account. Go for it in Austria (5. and 12. July), the Great prize of Hungary. In addition, two races at Silverstone in England on the programme, then in Spain, Belgium and Italy.
