Hockenheim dropped

Hockenheim still has a contract for 2016 and 2018, but it was never contracted to host the race this year. The Nurburgring was dropped this year and Hockenheim just failed to take up the slack.
From what I understand there is a cut off date whereby the circuit must inform the FIA if they can't hold the race. If they miss that date, then they will not be eligible to hold the race in 2016.thegreenhell said:

Wouldn't agree. I think the ticket prices are purely supply and demand. Bernie would not reduce ticket prices because he gets paid more from the hosts. Not at all. He will want as much as he can get from wherever he can get it.
I didn't think the ticket prices were anything to do with Bernie. That is the one and only thing he leaves to the individual circuits to make money from to cover their own costs, and if they're very lucky make a small profit from. Allyc85 said:

Hockenheim died when they took away the forest section - it's just another Tilke identikit borefest now. Won't miss it.
Despite lacking any character, it actually gave some great racing! Last years battles were certainly good!Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
