Ecclestone admits races in Korea, Qatar unlikely
Bernie Ecclestone has admitted Korea is unlikely to make its return to the F1 world championship next year.
That is despite the country being listed provisionally as one of 21 races on the FIA's 2015 calendar.
Insiders interpreted the sudden appearance of a Korean race with high scepticism, as it is a neat way to give each driver an extra engine next year without having to obtain the unlikely agreement of all the teams.
Meeting with a group of reporters in London on Thursday, F1 supremo Ecclestone did not confirm that suspicion but he also agreed that Korea is perhaps unlikely to happen.
"We have a contract with them," he told Forbes' F1 business journalist Christian Sylt.
