German GP Very Likely To Be Dropped From 2017 F1 Calendar

It seems likely that the German Grand Prix will be ditched for the 2017 Formula One season due to financial issues.

Motorsport reports that the promoter of the Hockenheim circuit doesn’t want to pay the fee proposed by Bernie Ecclestone, having received a discounted deal for 2016.

Confirmation of the German GP’s future will come on November 30, when the World Motor Sport Council releases the finalized 2017 calendar. If Germany is scrapped, then the Hungarian Grand Prix could be held on July 30, the date originally set for the German round.

Back in September, the FIA released the sport’s provisional calendar and, alongside Germany, it cast doubts over the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal and the Brazilian Grand Prix hosted by the city of Sao Paulo as well.
