Korean F1 GP in doubt, says Ecclestone

Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone has admitted concerns over the readiness of the Yeongam track for the Korean GP on October 24.

According to the BBC, a FIA inspection is scheduled for October 11 and could prove crucial for South Korea’s Formula One debut to be upheld.

“It’s not good. It should have been inspected six weeks ago,” said Ecclestone after yesterday’s Singapore GP.

“What we’ve done is quite dangerous. It’s a question of do we cancel the race or not? They say everything will be OK – we have to hope they’re right.”

The Korean race is the only new GP on this year’s Formula One calendar.
