Germany could join the list of F1 casualties with Hockenheim bosses revealing that the circuit has hit financial difficulties.
Circuit boss Karl-Josef Schmidt revealed on Sunday that the future of the German Grand Prix is on the line unless the state can help finance the race.
"Without grants from the state (of Baden-Wuerttemberg) there will be no more Formula One in Hockenheim," Schmidt told the Der Tagesspiegel newspaper.
According to the report, this year's Hockenheim race made a staggering loss of 5.3 million euros, however, the German government is not in favour of taking on the loss.
This means that Hockenheim, which alternates hosting the German GP with the Nurburgring, could lose out permanently to Germany's other F1 race-track.
However, should the Nurburgring also find dwindling spectator numbers putting its race in jeopardy, Germany could go from two races in 2006 to none at all in 2010.
This year alone Formula One lost the Canadian GP after it was revealed that the race organisers did not have the finances needed to pay F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone to host the race.
