The director of the Circuit Barcelona-Catalunya expects Formula 1 to continue in 2020. Joan Fontsere: "In these years without Alonso fighting to win people has been losing interest" This weekend is the Grand Prix of Spain of Formula 1, at the circuit of Catalonia. In T4 with Vicente Ortega we analyze what the competition weekend will bring and we chat with Joan Fontsere general director of the circuit. Much has been said about the continuity next year of the grand prize, something that is still in the air. The economic injection that leaves the race is something very positive: "Only with direct taxes of what is the sale of tickets, about 200,000 to 21% VAT, these taxes always go to the public coffers and leave in the territory more 300 million euros, "said the director of the circuit. Fontsere also pointed out that:" We are working because the Ecclestone stage ends now, the legal and contractual framework of Ecclestone is not the same as the one we want to have in the future with Liberty Media , the new owners, and have a much more modern vision of what a Grand Prix has to be and what Formula 1 has to be, so it implies that the negotiation and detail of the agreement has to be worked hard, and we are in it. " This Friday starts the first free practice where the Mercedes want to continue dominating the workouts. Carlos Sainz hopes to continue improving and be in the points.
