French GP: Deschaux not very confident

In an interview given to the press this morning in Paris, on the sidelines of the presentation of the French championships, the President of the FFSA admitted that the holding of the French Grand Prix this season, replacing Bahrain, had very little chances of success. “ Yesterday, during the World Council, the FIA ​​granted a deadline until May 1 to replace the Bahrain event, Nicolas Deschaux explained to us. If there must be a return from the French Grand Prix, it must be considered in a calm manner. The equation remains unchanged, you must first find a promoter able to bear a minimum of the costs of a Grand Prix so as not to lose money. Then, in the current economic and political context, we must motivate the State which remains very discreet on this subject. This does not mean that the file is at a standstill. But to say I'm super confident, the answer is no ».
