This situation upset Toto Wolff, the executive director of Mercedes AMG F1.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab It&#8217;s not satisfactory. If you compare Friday at Hockenheim to Friday at Silverstone and Friday in Austria, it&#8217;s a different world, \u00bb he lamented during the official Friday afternoon press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab We must understand why. I&#8217;m not sure we have an exact number for Sunday yet \u2013 you know, there are probably many people deciding at the last moment, depending on the weekend \u2013 and we need to analyze the phenomenon. If the weekend continues as it is, we need to think about it. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Such a situation seems surprising even though Sebastian Vettel has won the last four world championship titles and another German driver, Nico Rosberg, is leading the championship and is in a position to be crowned at the end of the year. Moreover, Mercedes is largely dominating the season.<\/p>\n<p>However, <i>Sky Sports<\/i> notes that the number of spectators at Hockenheim has been steadily declining since the mid-2000s and the end of the Schumacher-Ferrari era. Thus, the figure of 50,000 people was reported for Sunday&#8217;s race, half of what it was when the Baron was still red.<\/p>\n<p>Such questioning from Toto Wolff comes in a context that today suggests the German Grand Prix could be permanently hosted at the N\u00fcrburgring, which has expressed its desire to host the event for 5 years. Currently, the two circuits alternate in organizing the race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The executive director of Mercedes AMG F1, Toto Wolff, was not satisfied with the low number of spectators who attended Friday&#8217;s free practice sessions, compared to previous Grand Prix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":40247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[593,1601],"class_list":["post-15042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-hockenheim","tag-toto-wolff"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
