Bernie Ecclestone believes Formula 1 will make a big mistake if the Monaco Grand Prix is excluded from the World Cup calendar.
The promoters of the legendary race are in talks with Liberty Media about a contract extension, but it is rumored that as more stages come and they are held in such attractive places as Miami – and Las Vegas is planned – than from the traditional Grand Prix to the narrow urban highway will have to be abandoned.
Ecclestone, the former head of Formula 1 management, met with Michel Boeri, president of the Auto Club de Monaco, on Thursday before telling Reuters in an interview: “I don’t think anyone has the courage to leave this race. from Monaco.The organizers are happy with everything and are sure that there are no dramas to be expected, so I don’t expect any problems.
Whether it’s the worst race on the calendar or the best, it’s the crowning glory. Think of the Miami Grand Prix: it wasn’t like Formula 1, but like a local race at a club level. They tried to make everything look like Monaco there, and before that they had yachts in the parking lot.
Ecclestone means that in the area adjacent to the Hard Rock Stadium complex, where the stage of the Miami stage took place, they set up an area called the “Beach Club”, although in reality there was no beach or water. True, the yachts were real, but mounted on concrete blocks. And the illusion of the water’s surface was created by the sea-green plastic sparkling in the sun. In general, it also happened in a purely American way.
