(GMM) Beverage giant Coca-Cola has denied that it is contemplating a grand prix attack.
In response to reports that 'Coke' could become either a team title sponsor or even buy the championship's naming rights, director of communications Philipp Bodzenta told German publications that there are 'no discussions at present' about F1.
He denied that talks about F1 sponsorship, 'in whatever form', have occurred either with teams or Bernie Ecclestone.
''That is not to say that we can never hold a conversation (about F1) in the future,'' Bodzenta added.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, similarly, fired a blank when asked about Coca-Cola. ''We are in constant negotiations with many enterprises,'' he said.
