F1 boss says Interlagos must improve track
1 August, 2010
Start of the 2009 Brazilian GP at Interlagos
Aug.1 (GMM) Organisers of the Brazilian grand prix need to improve the Interlagos circuit.
That was the clear message given by Bernie Ecclestone in an interview at the Hungaroring with the O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper.
“Brazil will organise the next World Cup and the Olympics in 2016,” said the F1 chief executive.
“It makes sense. Long ago I believed in Brazil and took formula one there in 1972. But the future depends on significant improvements to Interlagos.
“These events (World Cup and Olympics) represent a great opportunity to renew the race track as well.
“I can no longer be questioned by the teams about the worst circuit in the championship and will have a serious conversation with the mayor,” added Ecclestone.
