Hockenheim is ready to step in at short notice, should the Nurburgring be unable to organise next year’s German grand prix.<\/p>\n
The Nurburgring has been given only a conditional date on the draft 2013 schedule, due to the circuit’s well-documented financial problems.<\/p>\n
According to the alternating scheme in place between Germany’s two grand prix hosts, Hockenheim – having hosted this year’s race in the country – is not officially scheduled to return to the calendar until 2014.<\/p>\n
But with the Nurburgring grappling with its financial problems, Hockenheim chief Georg Seiler said he is open to thinking about a 2013 event “in the right financial conditions”.<\/p>\n
“At the moment, we wait,” he is quoted by the DAPD news agency.\u00a0 “Should there be a request, we would consider it.”<\/p>\n
Seiler said he hopes the Nurburgring’s race can survive.<\/p>\n
“It would be a real shame for them, in their difficult situation, to lose the grand prix,” he nobly said.<\/p>\n
