It is currently a little over 5 million euros, and the target would be to bring it down to a little over 2 million euros, potentially by negotiating a reduction in the F1 hosting fees paid to Bernie Ecclestone.<\/p>\n<p>This desire to continue with F1 follows the abandonment of the alternating project with a French circuit, as Andr\u00e9 Maes explains to <i>L&#8217;Echo<\/i>: \u00ab The election of Fran\u00e7ois Hollande as French president changed the situation. We no longer have contact with the team set up by former Prime Minister Fran\u00e7ois Fillon to manage the alternating Grand Prix file. So, it became clear to us that the French no longer wanted to play a part in this. Hence the proposal we made to Mr. Ecclestone. But I am bound by a confidentiality clause, I can&#8217;t tell you anything. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Due to a lack of decision on the French side, the organizers of the Belgian Grand Prix have decided to continue to go it alone and attempt to reduce the deficit caused by the race in order to survive and remain on the Formula 1 World Championship calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spa-Francorchamps circuit hopes to sign a new contract to host Formula 1 on the basis of an annual Grand Prix and not a race alternating with another country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":39816,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[161,1494],"class_list":["post-19161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-circuits","tag-spa-francorchamps"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
