Ecclestone says Spa can go on

Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula one supremo, says in the Belgian newspaper 'Het Nieuwsblad' that the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps can go on this season. The Walloon government makes a decision about the 2006 GP this week.

Serge Kubla and Eli Di Rupo, 2 members of the Walloon government, are spreading the word that the Belgian GP won't take place this season. They say that it's impossible to fulfil the requested renovationworks on the circuit.
Ecclestone says that they don't need to do the renovationworks if they just live up to the contract...translated: If they pay the €14 million.
