Others have a contract in place which might be a bit more complicated in regards to costs they had already and other costs coming up because of preparations which were initiated already, we can just say OK, if we find a time slot then we have these costs. And then we come together or not. This might be a little advantage in our talks.

We are talking with F1, that's correct. We have spoken about the idea of having a race without spectators here at the circuit, we already checked if this could be possible, from dates as well as the legal general point of view. For us, it is an option.

As long as we have no financial support from the government side, or from whomever else, we couldn't manage the normal fee. The risk is by far too high, we found a solution for 2019, quite surprisingly, but this was a special situation. If we could find another solution for a mid-term agreement we would like to have it but at the moment we are concentrating on this season. This is challenging enough.

What is really crucial for us is not to be pending now for months. We have to get our circuit booked and there is a high demand on track days... but Formula One is aware and understands our situation.
