F1’s Arm Twister’s at it Again
Either the French Grand Prix is held in Paris or it will not be held at all - that is the warning from Bernie “Wish I Were Sicilian” Ecclestone, as he insisted F1 would never return to Magny-Cours.
“I hope we can put something together,” the sport’s supremo told German news agency SID. “We need a place for the French Grand Prix because we are not going back to Magny-Cours. The government understands this.”
The Circuit de Nevers has hosted the French round of the F1 World Championship for the last 17 years, but due to its remote location it has never proved a great hit with either participants or fans, and last March it was chopped from the calendar.
Ecclestone’s arm twisting has met with some local disagreement that Paris - his preferred choice for the return - is indeed the place for an F1 street race and return of the French Grand Prix.
A dissenting voice to Bernie’s Parisian dreams (no not this kind, Champs-Elys
I will laugh if it ends up at that FIA F1 approved track Paul Ricard………….Bernie owns it
Nope,Can’t see him footing the bill at his own track!
So, Paris it will be. With Nick Heidfeild in a BMW, when was the last time a Hun in a Munich mobile drove through France that quickly? LOL
Your cruel Peter, a cruel, cruel man.
