LONDON (AP) One day after Silverstone’s owners announced they will terminate their British Grand Prix contract, Formula One’s new leadership said Wednesday they had been inundated with interest from around 30 places looking to stage races.
Liberty Media has spent its first six months in charge of F1 trying to exploit the commercial opportunities it believes were not being seized on toward the end of Bernie Ecclestone’s control of the motorsport series.
”Since I’ve been here, probably 30 countries, municipalities, principalities have reached out to me about interest in bringing Formula One to their cities, their countries,” Sean Bratches, F1’s managing director for commercial operations, told The Associated Press.
