Indianapolis back in F1?

Anton Hulman George, better known as Tony George, owner, among others, of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, went to Shanghai this weekend, as part of the Chinese Grand Prix of Formula 1, can reveal AUTOhebdo.fr to you. The businessman notably had lunch with Bernie Ecclestone in the Paddock Club. Ecclestone, representing the commercial rights holders of F1, has a very important voice for the future of Formula 1 Grand Prix in different parts of the world. We can therefore think that the discussions between the two men were very constructive?

If Bernie Ecclestone has expressed his wish to see F1 arrive in New York, a return to Indianapolis cannot be ruled out. Relations between the US circuit and F1 have often been tumultuous but both parties know that they stand to gain mutually from such an agreement, especially F1. Americans are not big fans of this sport, preferring the more indecisive races of?IndyCar Series or long races on ovals Nascar. But the presence of a World Championship on American soil would be welcome and, for F1, reconquering the West in these times of economic crisis would not be useless.

Korea arrives on the World Championship program this year, India must have its Grand Prix in 2011, the United States is in the running, France wants to find its Grand Prix? While there are already 19 races on the program this year, the F1 seasons will become real marathons! “ Prepare to see 25 races per season » warned Bernie Ecclestone in Shanghai this weekend. The “big moneyman” also knows that, despite the difficult economic situation, he has gold in his hands. He will therefore not give any gifts to anyone who wishes to welcome the “circus” on his soil.
