I hope an agreement with Paris for 2009 is possible - Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone is pushing ahead his plans to organise the French Grand Prix at Paris in 2009. The Formula One supremo has been looking into an alternative for Magny-Cours for a few years now as the attendance figures at the Nevers Circuit were poor.
Ecclestone declared to news agency 'SID': "I hope we will be able to put something in place in Paris. We need a site for the French Grand Prix as we won't go back to Magny-Cours.
"The government has understood. We had originally decided not to go back to Magny-Cours this year.
"A Grand Prix in London or Paris would be better for spectators and for television. But I hope an agreement with Paris for 2009 is possible."
