Domenicali visited Paul Ricard for the French Historic GP, but there may be more behind his presence
Stefano Domenicali was at Paul Ricard for the French Historic GP, and a new possibility may emerge in the coming weeks. The French circuit is hosting a weekend featuring many historic cars, with several F1 figures in attendance. Among them are Ocon, Hadjar, and Gasly, as well as Mekies and Vasseur, alongside former champions like Prost and Alesi.

Alongside Ferrari’s team principal, the Formula 1 CEO was seen surrounded by a remarkable crowd. The paddock has attracted many visitors, drawn by affordable prices and the chance to meet their favorite drivers. But why is Domenicali attending this weekend at a circuit away from the calendar since 2022?
A hopeful scenario amid fantastic fan turnout
France has always shown strong passion for F1, hosting several Grands Prix over its history. Perhaps Domenicali aims to revive this enthusiasm. During the weekend, Ocon remarked that “the French fans are amazing, providing a wonderful backdrop to this event and the circuit.”
It’s possible the Italian CEO witnessed this passion firsthand. The F1 calendar continues to seek new ways to attract fans, including rotating Grands Prix. Similar to changes coming in 2027 with Spa and Barcelona, France could rejoin the rotation to host a GP again. European circuits remain the top candidates, and timing will be key.
The situation may evolve over the next weeks, especially given some contracts expiring soon. Meanwhile, Paul Ricard dreams of returning to the pinnacle of motorsport.
