ORF says F1 future ’not decided yet’

The Austrian broadcaster ORF says it has not taken a decision about its future in formula one.

Reports this week claimed the long-time F1 broadcaster may no longer be prepared to pay the annual fee of EUR 15 million to Bernie Ecclestone.

An ORF spokesman said: "Whether and under what conditions formula one will still be seen on ORF is the subject of constant discussion, and has not yet been decided by director-general Dr Alexander Wrabetz."
