Chase Carey eyes Berlin to host German Grand Prix

Chase Carey is eyeing the German capital as a potential replacement for Hockenheim. F1 will race at Hockenheim in July, but circuit boss Georg Seiler is yet to agree a 2019 deal with Liberty Media.

"We want to keep traditional races on the calendar," F1 chief executive Carey told Bild when asked about the German GP.


"With its great automotive industry and tradition, Germany is important to us. We are open to a road race through Berlin," Carey revealed. "If the Berliners want that, we can talk to them."

Berlin already hosts a round of the Formula E series. Carey said: "Formula one is about heroes, drama, emotions. Formula E is more of a street party."

    That dude is stringing so many cities and circuits along it's not even funny.
    I don't mind more races being added, or some replaced. But I'm not too excited about more street circuits.

    • I mean in the name of baby Jesus, just look at the raw amount of good tracks in Germany that are all very close to civilization and have decent potential to be their own take on what Liberty is clearly chasing. But no, apparently we need more street races...

    This guy is not interested in racing, merely chasing pathetically around the world in search of an audience. A very sad time for F1, maybe even the end of it.

    Think they get far too caught up in the idea that street races are the most glamorous ?
