Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has poured cold water on the possibility of the RedBull Ring hosting a return to Austria next season. The commercial right's holder of the sport has said that the only circuit that he is in contact with is the Istanbul Park circuit in Turkey.
The 2013 Formula One calendar has a hole in it as the proposed race in New Jersey has been postponed until 2014. Turkey was taken off the calendar for 2012 as Texas became the 20th race on the calendar.
Last week, Dr Helmut Marko, RedBull's motorsport director suggested that the RedBull Ring was ready to host an F1 return in Austria, however Mr Ecclestone has said that it won't happen.
In my opinion, it would be fantastic to see F1 return to Turkey. The race is classified as a 'European' race however the circuit is located on the Asian side of Istanbul. The circuit is extremely fast including the incredible turn eight.
So we will have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of week's.
