F1 CEO Chase Carey Says He Wants More German Carmakers To Join Circuit

Formula 1 CEO Chase Carey said that he "wants more German carmakers to join the category," according to GRAND PRIX. Carey also said that he will "fight to keep a German grand prix" on the calendar. Absent in '17, Hockenheim "returns to the schedule" for '18. Carey said, "We have a German champion, a German car as champion, a German fighting for the title this year and we would like to have more German teams." Asked if by "more German teams" he is referring to BMW, Porsche or Audi, Carey said, "Of course. Our goal is that companies like that want to run teams in Formula 1, and it's why we are adjusting the technical and economic conditions" (GRAND PRIX, 7/20).
