(GMM) Bernie Ecclestone has admitted that he is on the hunt for an 'alternative' to the US grand prix at Indianapolis.
Hinting that negotiations are now on with Tony George about a new contract, the 75-year-old told Autosprint, an Italian magazine: ''I don't yet know whether there will be the conditions to renew it.''
Last June's farcical race at Indy, scene of the fabled Motor Speedway, enraged fans and circuit bosses alike.
Acknowledging that the collaboration might have been damaged beyond repair, F1 supremo Ecclestone ruled out returning to Long Beach, but likes the idea of a street race.
He said: ''Ideally it would be a track in Las Vegas, (on) the road with all the most important casinos.
''We are trying that, we're working on it.''
