Fans would like to see a race at Germany’s Nürburgring added back to the F1 calendar as part of the new rotational policy of races, according to the result of a RacingNews365 poll.
When the Belgian Grand Prix’s contract was recently renewed, it came with a twist.
As it stands, Spa will not be on the calendar in either 2028 or 2030, opening up the possibility of rotational races on the calendar.
In terms of European races, the Dutch GP at Zandvoort is to drop off the calendar in 2026 after one final race, with the future of the Emilia Romagna GP at Imola also in doubt after its deal expires after the upcoming 2025 race.
The Spanish GP is also set to leave Barcelona in 2026 in favour of Madrid, although the Catalunya circuit does have a valid contract to host a race that year.
It means there could be as few as six permanent European races on the calendar in the not-too-distant future – with the Monaco, Spanish, British, Austrian, Hungarian and Italian GPs on long-term deals.
However, according to the results of a RacingNews365 poll, F1 fans would like to see Germany added back to the schedule.
The country was the first to try rotational races, with Hockenheim holding the German GP in even years between 2008 and 2018, with the Nürburgring in odd-numbered years between 2009 and 2013.
The final German GP was held as a one-off at Hockenheim in 2019, with the Nürburgring hosting the 2020 Eifel GP as a COVID replacement.
The two circuits, when combined, ran out comprehensive winners of the poll, with the Nürburgring just pipping Hockenheim to top spot.
