Bernie Ecclestone: 'Korea not keen on hosting Grand Prix in 2015'

By , Reporter
Bernie Ecclestone says that organisers of the Korean Grand Prix do not want to host the event in 2015.

Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has revealed that organisers of the Korean Grand Prix don't want the race to take place next season.

The event at the Korea International Circuit is set to return after being left off the 2014 itinerary, but Ecclestone has revealed that local promoters are less keen on staging the grand prix.

He is quoted by Reuters as saying: "[They local organisers] would rather it not happen.

"We have a contract with Korea... we have to put it on the calendar. If we hadn't have done they could have sued us. We let them off for a year on the understanding they would be back."

Korea is one of 21 races on the calendar for 2015.
