The German Grand Prix promoters tried to add a Formula 2 round at the track to capitalise on the popularity of Mick Schumacher after he joined the championship.
Schumacher won the FIA Formula Three championship last year and moved up to F2 with Prema.
Hockenheim, which did not hold an F2 race last year, saw the possible impact of having Michael Schumacher’s son racing on the support bill for this weekend’s grand prix.
Teske: “There were many initiatives to bring F2 to Hockenheim, especially this year, when it was noticed how much the impact of Mick is in the German market.”
