Hockenheim has increased security for this weekend's German Grand Prix at the track in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Europe.
The Telegraph has reported that Formula One's regular security contractor is almost doubling its staff for the event, and that the Bernie Ecclestone-led FOM is working closely with Hockenheim promoters.
"Everybody is a bit concerned," admitted Ecclestone. "I can't see what they can do but they're doing whatever they can. Everybody is on alert, especially Germany. The race it not targeted at all."
A spokesman for the circuit reiterated Ecclestone's claim that the German Grand Prix is under threat, but confirmed that police and security "will take all necessary and appropriate actions to ensure the safety of everyone attending this weekend's race".
