Historical event currently protectedGermany's traditional spot on the annual Formula One calendar is not in danger.
That is the insistence of Nurburgring boss Walter Kafitz, whose race - previously a standalone event - must now alternate every year with Hockenheim
as Germany's calendar-count drops from two to just one Grand Prix per season.
Some observers have also expressed fears that the absence of the 'German Grand Prix' descriptor in 2007 may be a prelude to the total disappearance of the sport from the country.
But Kafitz told Auto Bild that Germany's calendar spot is '100 per cent safe,' protected by its historical status.
"Germany is considered by the FIA in the same way as Italy, Great Britain and Monaco," he reported.
