Unfortunately, Formula One officials have confirmed that the German GP has been dropped. Hockenheim GP was reintroduced into the F1 calendar during 2016 on a special deal. The circuit organisers and F1 officials could not come to a reasonable deal.
During the 2016 season, Formula One teams had to work hard during seven back-to-back races. For 2017, they have reduced back-to-back races to five times. This surely will ease the pressure on teams, drivers, and technicians, who are under immense pressure.
