VETTEL on Formula 1 race in GERMANY: "Government will not give 30 million dollars"

The German Grand Prix race had a permanent place on the Formula 1 calendar until 2019. Otherwise, they also raced at the Nürburgring in the 2020 season, as races outside Europe were canceled due to the coronavirus. It seems that there will be something left in this race, which is a pity for Sebastian Vettl.

Formula 1 and Germany the two are in fact inextricably linked. Mercedes has won the design title in the last eight years, Michael Schumacher together with Lewis Hamilton, he is a record holder with seven championship titles, Sebastian Vettel as a four-time world champion he is still racing and joined him this year Mick Schumacher, son of Michael. The German contribution was (was) large.

Germany's problem is currently in that organization Formula 1 races too expensive. If you want to host the fastest circus in the world, you have to majority owners Liberty Medium to punish a few tens of millions dollars fees. That's why organizing a race not profitable and it depends on the sponsors, although these too do not fill every gap. Hag is in conversation for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung He said he did not expect the German race to return to the Formula One calendar in the near future. "There will not be that $ 30 million from the government, as is common in some countries. Politicians see more important things. The subsidy seems unimaginable to me at the moment."

On the other hand Liberty Medium it doesn’t need to be so urgent Germanyto fill my ever-expanding calendar as it grows popularity more and more countries are ready to cut deep in your pocketto host the royal class of motorsport. They belong here Qatar, which will host Formula 2023 for at least ten years from 1, however Saudi Arabia, which joined the calendar this year, Vietnam , which will probably carry out its repeatedly canceled premiere race in the near future, and in the end it is still here South Africa. The governments of the listed countries are willing to fund the race, therefore Germany he has no options.
