| | FORMULA ONE: Germany to lose Grand Prix?: Latest Motorsport news, results with radio player |
 | | Accountants at the Grand Prix venue which once boasted dramatic long straights heading out into the forest, and which saw epic slipstreaming battles with low downforce spec cars, have felt the repercussions of the decline of enthusiasm for the event over the past few seasons. |
 | | Of the two German locations the Nurburgring has a history stretching further back into Grand Prix history, with the German Grand Prix being held there from 1951 to 1976 on the glorious Nordschleife, with only the interruption of Avus holding the event in 1959 and Hockenheim in 1970. |
 | | The new Nurburgring first held the European Grand Prix in 1984 and in 1985 it held the German Grand Prix for the first time in ten years, but the circuit was never seen as challenging by drivers and the next season F1 returned to Hockenheim and would not return to the Nurburgring until 1995. |
