F1 CEO hints at potential return of German Grand Prix at Hockenheim

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed discussions regarding a potential return of the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim during Liberty Media's Q2 2026 earnings call. The German GP has not been part of the F1 schedule since 2019. Hockenheim's managing director Jörn Teske noted a strong interest from F1, indicating that financial backing from new ownership may support the event's comeback. Although Domenicali expressed optimism, he mentioned logistical challenges, with F1's calendar cemented until 2028, likely delaying a potential race until 2029. The discussions mark a significant shift in interest since last year, with potential for a rotational race arrangement similar to other European tracks.
