Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has said the organisers of the US Grand Prix are not doing enough to promote their race. The US Grand Prix has a contract until the end of this season, and Ecclestone's negative comments won't help secure the F1 race at Indianapolis.
"They haven't done anything to really get behind it have they?" Ecclestone told Reuters. "We arrive in town, what do we get? We get banners saying the Indy 500. Not really the way to promote Formula One. They haven't got behind it, full stop."
When asked if Ecclestone is on the lookout for a new US venue he said: "We're talking to everybody. We were speaking with (Indianapolis track owner) Tony George yesterday, we'll chat to him next week and see what we come up with."
