Ecclestone: There will be a race

NEWS STORY
09/09/2005

Following media reports that Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix could be called off, should the weather forecasters be proved right, and it continues raining, F1 supremo, Bernie Ecclestone, has said that the race will go ahead, no matter the weather.

"They've been racing in these conditions for years," he told BBC Radio. "There will be a race on Sunday."

Several drivers have expressed concern at the conditions today, which culminated in Tonio Liuzzi aquaplaning off the track at Les Combes, resulting in a ten-minute red-flag period. It was subsequently claimed that should conditions fail to improve the race could be cancelled or run (all 44 laps) behind the safety car.

Any such move, especially in the wake of the Indianapolis fiasco, would inflict further damage on the sport, at a time when it appears to be winning back its credibility.
