There are more and more stages on the Formula 1 calendar every year, but not a single race takes place in Germany, despite it being one of the biggest automotive powers in the world. The last time the German circuit hosted a World Cup stage was in 2020 – the autumn Grand Prix of the Eifel at the Nürburgring.
Norbert Haug, former head of Mercedes Motorsport, does not believe Formula 1 can return to Germany in the near future.
“If politicians could work together as constructively and purposefully as a successful racing team, I would not worry about the state of motorsport in Germany,” Haug told Baden’s Pforzheimer Zeitung newspaper. of this country). “Then everything would have developed very differently than now.”
There are still very few people for whom the car is a cult object, but they must take the initiative and convince potential sponsors to support the idea of organizing a Formula 1 race, as it generates income.
If the government of the state of Baden-Württemberg were to invest 20 million euros in holding the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim, it would already earn it around 50 million euros, and the budget alone would receive 10 to 12 million euros in taxes. After all, enormous amounts are being invested in the reconstruction of the football stadium in Stuttgart, and these investments are paying off.”
