Bernie has said the German GP may not happen this year as he does not have a deal with Hockenheim and Nurburgring is not in a position to hold the GP.
It would be a sad state of affairs if a core motorsport country like Germany cannot afford to hold a GP. After all the current world constructors champions are German and they have at least 2 drivers who are capable of winning the drivers championship.
