Nurburgring yet to secure 2015 German GP contract
The venue of the 2015 German Grand Prix is still uncertain after the CEO of the Nurburgring confirmed a deal is not yet in place for the circuit to host this year's race.
The German Grand Prix alternates between Hockenheim and Nurburgring and the 2015 edition - set to be held on July 19 - is scheduled to be held at the latter. The Nurburgring has suffered financial trouble for many years, with Bernie Ecclestone even making an attempt to buy the circuit last year.
Circuit CEO Carsten Schumacher is hopeful a new deal can be sorted out but remains wary of the rising costs affiliated with hosting a race on the Formula One calendar.
"Formula One is welcome at the Nürburgring," Schumacher told Crash.net. "It provides worldwide television pictures, a positive image and would bring high sales to the region. However, Formula One has to remain affordable. We don't comment ongoing conversations. We will communicate this, if there is a concrete result".
