SEPANG, Malaysia - Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has cast doubt on Germany's return to the calendar in 2016 and indicated that Ferrari's home Italian GP at Monza remains at risk beyond next year.
The 2015 German GP in July has been cancelled after the troubled Nurburgring was unable to reach a deal and Hockenheim was unwilling to step in at short notice after poor ticket sales in 2014.
Hockenheim has a contract for 2016 but Ecclestone, 84, suggested that was no guarantee of champions Mercedes' home race returning.
