Even though there's already a race being added in Miami and a whole list of potential races that could be added to the calendar, Liberty Media CEO Chase Carey has now suggested that a race in the German capital Berlin could be a possibility for the future.

The Formula E already has a race in Berlin, which will be driven this weekend. A battle in Formula E could potentially be a stepping stone for hosting an F1 race.

"If the Berlin people want it too," Carey told German news outlet Bild Sport.

"We're definitely open to the idea.

"Germany has a high priority for us anyway since the country is really important because of its car industry."

Freshly after finding out that Hockenheim might be hosting its last ever German Grand Prix this year, this is some good news. Hockenheim, much like Silverstone, has struggled with the financial side of hosting an F1-weekend for years.
