HOCKENHEIM, Germany - The Hockenheim racetrack and Bernie Ecclestone on Wednesday (March 26) have denied responsibility for the demise of the historic German Formula 1 GP.
The Nurburgring was scheduled to host this year's July 19 race but confusion over ownership of the fabled track moved Ecclestone to observe in January: "It can't be Nurburgring because there's nobody there."
Talks then kicked off with Hockenheim about stepping in at short notice, even though the circuit was only contractually obliged for alternate years.
