It’s not being run! This GP, steeped in history, is not being run, because Bernie and the FIA want too much from the organizers.
Past exploits in the German GP include six wins for Rudolf Caracciola and an amazing win for the Italian legend Tazio Nuvolari, driving a hopelessly outdated and underpowered Alfa Romeo against state-of-the-art Mercedes and Auto Unions. He was second by the start of the last lap, 35 seconds behind leader Manfred von Brauchitsch in a Mercedes. Nuvolari caught the German and took victory in front of the stunned German High Command and 350,000 spectators.
That was 1935, and in 1957 it was the famous win for Fangio where he broke the lap record nine times.
So no GP this weekend, but the Hungarian GP will be next on July 26. Where has everything gone wrong, I wonder? ;-))
