The former F1 supremo is not one of those looking forward to the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. Here’s what he had to say ahead of the weekend in Nevada.
Bernie Ecclestone, former F1 supremo, criticized the Las Vegas Grand Prix, stating that it has nothing to do with Formula 1. Despite F1’s efforts to promote the event and increase popularity in the United States, Ecclestone expressed his lack of enthusiasm for it. He played a significant role in expanding the sport globally, bringing Formula 1 to new countries, including those in the Middle East. Ecclestone believes that F1 should continue to compete for a World Championship, rather than focusing solely on Europe. Even though F1’s reach has extended, he emphasized the importance of maintaining its global development.
