SEPANG, Malaysia (AP) β Formula One commercial head Bernie Ecclestone says the German Grand Prix could remain off the sport’s calendar after this year’s cancellation, and warned that the iconic Italian GP may be next to go.
Speaking Friday after a meeting with team leaders ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix, Ecclestone said he could not confirm the return of the race in Germany in 2016.
He says the contract for a race at Hockenheim next year “doesn’t make a difference. A lot of people have a contract.”
Ecclestone said the continual reduction in races in the sport’s European heartland is “terrible,” but then said “whatever goes, goes” when asked about the future of the Italian Grand Prix.
