Potential return of German Grand Prix

Overview

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has confirmed that discussions are underway regarding the potential medium-term return of the German Grand Prix. Discussions have re-established contact with the Hockenheimring, which is currently undergoing a €250 million redevelopment project. This includes a new hotel and a ‘Motorworld’ visitor centre, with the latter slated to begin development in 2027 and full completion expected by 2030.

Hockenheimring managing director Jorn Teske has acknowledged the interest but noted that there are no concrete outcomes or results to report yet. The circuit is also seeing structural changes, with a group of German companies now holding nearly 75 percent of the shares.

Domenicali emphasized the strategic importance of the German market, citing the involvement of major partners like Mercedes and the entry of Audi. The potential for a return is further supported by a broader motorsport revival in the country, including the scheduled return of a German Formula 4 championship in 2027. Additionally, interest in the market is reflected by expectations of competitive bidding for F1 TV rights following the expiration of current exclusive deals after 2027.
