Hockenheim is understood to the latest track not on the original 2020 calendar offering to stage a race to help Formula 1’s bid ♍to get its season off the ground.

The German Grand Prix dropped off the 2020 calendar due to Hockenheim failing to agree fresh terms with F1 to host the race this year, after title sponsorship from Merceﷺdes had helped retain the event last season.

Amid the major disruption to the o🐭riginal 22-round 2020 season schedule caused by the coronavirus crisis which has seen the opening 10 races eith🔜er postponed or cancelled altogether, F1 chiefs are desperately trying to piece together a rescheduled calendar.

A initial blueprint was revealed by F1 ea🐎rlier this week, in which it is targeting staging between 15 and 18 events with a number of European races held behind closed doors in July and beginning with potential double-headers in Austria and Great Britain.

Imola and Portimao have recently offered to host races in order to help F1, and according to reports in German media, Hockenheim has become the latest circu💎it to throw its hat into the ring for a possible round during the summer🌊.

"We have been in regular contact with Formula 1, since the last race in 2019," Hockenheim CEO Jorn Teske told .

"The topic was 🎉indeed broached. We all see that the Formu🎶la 1 calendar is messed up by the circumstances.

"If there is any interest in Formula 1 driving in Hockenheim this summer, we would be willing to talk. The preꦉrequisite is, of course, that all health requirements and financial feasibility are guaranteed."

Any plans woul⛦d need to be approved by the German government and follow national restrictions.

Germany recently extended its travel ban until mid-June and has seen💫 a rise in coronavirus infections during the past week a𒅌fter easing its lockdown measures on April 20.
