Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali has indicated that Germany’s prospects of hosting a race could be boosted if, as expected, Audi and Porsche join Mercedes on the starting grid.

The country, which hosted two races a year at the height of home hero Michael Schumacher’s dominance with Ferrari in the early years of the century, last had a grand prix at Hockenheim in 2019.

“But one thing is to say we would like to have the grand prix, the other thing is to put on the table the things that are needed to discuss about the grand prix. Domenicali, who was speaking on a visit to Germany, did not spell out what he was referring to or refer to the Volkswagen brands. The cost of hosting a race has been the main stumbling block to Germany’s return, with the 2019 edition going ahead after a last minute title sponsorship deal with Mercedes-Benz, parent company of the then-dominant Mercedes team.
