First 2 races will be held on saturday instead of sunday due to Ramadan.
If the ME races are going to make sure they’re the first races of the season they shouldn’t get to dictate the schedule around their other events.
If they need to be off on Sunday for a religious holiday F1 should be racing somewhere else that week and only go back after the holiday is over.
Really wish the organizers at tracks like Hockenheim or Sepang had the budget to host a race. So many tracks here that are simply all right, buying their way in, while truly stellar ones just wither away on the sidelines.
Very curious to see if the Chinese GP even happens next year.

If only there was an Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team with connections to both countries that would push for that...
Mercedes the company put a boatload of money into the German GP and lost a fair amount of it.
"Lost"? Advertising itself does not make any profit at all. It's about promoting the brand and making money from selling the product. Ask Red Bull for details. They spend loads of money (including hosting their own GP) to promote canned soda.
I'm not talking about advertising money, I'm talking about them contributing to the fees paid to the FIA to host the actual Grand Prix. The organizers lost money on that race most years. It ran, and 2019 was no exception.

Because the German car brand is not interested in paying the fees of a German GP to promote "quality made in Germany".
Glad Spa is still there.

Fuck that death trap and get some actually good tracks back on the calendar.
