[Saba Sports News] According to Jon, the general
manager of the Hockenheimring F1 German Grand Prix, in a recent media interview,
the German Grand Prix is still absent from the Formula 1 calendar for various
reasons. One of the main challenges is the high operating costs associated with
hosting the race. Unlike the European Heritage Tour, the German Grand Prix
relies on multiple sources of funding, including government support, sponsors,
ticket sales, and business partnerships. However, raising ticket prices is not
a viable solution as Germans are known to be price-sensitive. The German Grand
Prix holds significant historical value and has been held at the Hockenheimring
since 1970. The Hockenheimring itself is located near the town of Hockenheim in
Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. The track is characterized by gentle terrain and is
known for its high-speed nature. The editor shares the sentiment that it would
be desirable for the German Grand Prix to make a return in the future.
