'No progress' on French GP future
Negotiations ongoing

May 11 (GMM) Bernie Ecclestone insists there is still no guarantee France will return to the formula one calendar in 2011.

Following the demise of the Magny-Cours event, authorities in March unveiled detailed plans for a new grand prix venue at Flins-Les-Mureaux, northeast of Paris.

But as for the venue's inclusion on a calendar of the future, F1 chief executive Ecclestone told the French radio station RMC that there is no progress in particular to report.

"We are still in negotiations but there is nothing to announce," the Briton said.
