German Grand Prix officially dropped from 2015 calendar


The FIA announced that the German Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2015 calendar. The race was originally scheduled to be held from July 17-19 and it ill not be replaced. This means that there will be just one race over a seven week span during the summer. The cancellation of the race comes after both the Nurburgring and Hockenheim would not agree to host the race. The race was orginally planned to take place at the Nurburgring as the two tracks have alternated hosting the race over the last few years but the new owners of the track did not have a contract for the race. Hockenheim then said that they could not be ready to host the race in time. The rest of the calendar remains the same as the championship will now be contested over 19 races instead of 20.
