Mexican GP promoter denies involvement in Liberty statement

Following the statement released by Formula 1 race promoters, the Mexican Grand Prix promoter has come out and denied his participation but accepts the worries of other promoters.

The original FOPA statement included concerns over the lack of free broadcasting available, with the British market being dominated by Sky with only highlights and the British Grand Prix being shown on Channel 4, which is free to air.

In a press release which was seen by racefans.net the Mexican Grand Prix promoter accepted the decision and the collaboration saying: “Following the statement made by the Formula One Promoters’ Association (FOPA), the Formula 1 Gran Premio de Mexico promoters want to express their sympathy with the promoters from other countries understanding that each country and race is different.

Despite being encouraged by the collaboration between promoters he distanced himself from the meetings and statements.

“However, Formula 1 Gran Premio de Mexico did not participate in said meeting and appreciate the work that the new owners of Formula 1 are doing to understand the promoters’ requirements and concerns, as well as those from the fans,” the Mexican GP promoter said.
