The 2021 provisional calendar has been thrown into disarray before the start of the season, due to the postponement of the Australian GP and the uncertainty surrounding other races, including the one in China. The organisation involved with the Nürburgring has responded to this situation by announcing that it is open to hosting a Grand Prix in the short term.

The classic circuit made a return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2020, and with success. With this experience in mind, a spokesperson for the legendary circuit has already made public that it is once again open to hosting a race weekend.

Nurburgring makes itself available

The spokesman explains, as quoted by F1-Insider.com: “Basically we are available for discussions with Formula 1. Everything else would have to be revealed in the course of possible discussions.”

The spokesman continued: “The discussions last year were very pleasant and we showed that we can hold a Grand Prix in a short time. So far, however, we haven't heard from Formula 1 - so let's wait and see what happens. You can't say more at the moment."
