Former F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone claims the sport's new owners do not want him to attend races anymore.

Liberty Media took control of Formula One in February, replacing Ecclestone as CEO with American businessman Chase Carey. The new top management also consists of Ross Brawn on the sporting side and Sean Bratches on the commercial side, while Ecclestone, who was given the honorary role of chairman emeritus, says he no longer has an office at race weekends.

"Chase sent a message to one of the girls in the office to tell me that they haven't got so many offices at the circuits -- only what the race promoter gives them," Ecclestone told the Daily Mail.
