The French Grand Prix left Formula 1 after 2022 due to financial problems, but being a strong country in the automotive industry, there are always rumors about a future return… to which the premier category shows openness.
Frédéric Ferret, from the newspaper L’Equipe, spoke with the CEO and president of F1, Stefano Domenicali, who made it clear his opinion about a GP in France: ‘F1 and France make sense together’.
The Italian executive assured that he does not close the door to any proposals, but the journalist himself acknowledged that there are ‘very low’ chances. A scenario recently discussed was that of a French GP on the streets of Nice, on an eventual annual alternation with the Monaco GP considering the geographical proximity.
Christian Estrosi, president of the municipality of Nice, commented a few weeks ago: ‘If, at some point, the President of the Republic [Emmanuel Macron] and Prince Albert of Monaco say “There can be an agreement,” then why not?’
