Mercedes will not “interfere” with any decision regarding the uncertain fuﷺture of the German Grand Prix and its pla🔥ce on the Formula 1 calendar.

The German manufacturer helped save the Hockenheim🔯 eve💧nt for 2019 after striking an agreement that saw Mercedes become the race’s title sponsor following talks between F1 bosses and team management.

Despite its short-term deal to retain its place on the calendar for this year, Germany looks set to be axed for 2020 with the addition of two new r🔯aces in Vietnam and the Netherlands. Next year’s calendar looks set to feature an unprecedented 22 races with the Spanish Grand Prix understood to be closing on a fresh deal despite the suggestion this year's race at Barcelona could be the last. 

“The deal came up prett🔜y spontaneously,” Mercedes boss Toto Wolff explained about the manufacturer’s deal for the 2019 round.

"We had a meeting on Sunday morning with Chase [Carey] and Sean [B♌ratches], and they said, 'Would you be able to help us [in♌] bridging the gap?'

"And in🍌 half an hour we bartered out 🐼a deal in order to make the German GP happen. But this is not something which we are in a position to continue.

“Also because I believe that we shouldn't really be interfering in the business of Liberty and F1 - it is up to them to decide which trackꦉs are on or off.

"I believe it's really encouraging that there is lots of interest in hos൩ting a race," he a🦄dded.

"Liberty has the great problem of having more demand than supply, and that is good, and also good for th🅠e teams, becaus🔯e fundamentally we share a large part of the prize fund.

"And this is where I would like to leav෴e 💖it, because it's Chase's and his team's call to decide where we go.

"F𝐆or us the German GP is important, because Daimler is a German company, and there are lots of family and friends in Germany, but we can't interfere in their business."
