German Grand Prix

• Posted in German GP . German Grand Prix

The first ever German Grand Prix was organized back in 1926, but because of Germany’s expulsion from international events after the WWII, the German GP didn’t return to the Formula 1 calendar until 1951.

There was a controversy about the name of the event in 2009 because it took place at Nürburgring while the Hockenheim holds the rights to the German Grand Prix.

German Grand Prix 2010 is back at Hockenheim but the future of the event remains uncertain because the organisers, city and state officials are unhappy about the high fees demanded by Bernie Ecclestone.

Michael Schumacher is the driver with the most wins, 4 in total – 1995, 2002, 2004, 2006.
