F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone said that the fate of a German F1 Grand Prix for '15 "is due to be decided in the coming days," according to DW.
When asked in an interview with German news agency dpa on a deadline for the decision, Ecclestone stated "certainly by this weekend."
Ecclestone: "[I'm] not sure it's going to happen." If the race is canceled, it "would be the first time that Germany has not hosted a race in the Formula One season since 1960."
Despite having two possible venues, the German Grand Prix's "inabilty to attract fans and therefore revenue in recent years, has forced it's position in the race calendar to come into question" (DW, 3/5).
THE SHOW MUST GO ON: In London, David Kent reported in a letter that has come to light, Ecclestone wrote to former Caterham Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul requesting, "Please be reminded that where possible, grid access passes should be used for celebrities or people of note or as always, really glamorous ladies. This is not so much a sporting matter but a part of the show business of Formula One" (DAILY MAIL, 3/5).
