It is possible Marussia will be notably missing from next weekend’s coverage of the 2013 season opener.<\/p>\n
That is because Bernie Ecclestone is yet to agree a new Concorde Agreement with the backmarker team.<\/p>\n
The F1 chief executive said recently that he has agreed bilateral financial deals with every team, Marussia included.<\/p>\n
But, apparently, that deal does not include provisions for images of the Marussia car and driver to be broadcast on television.<\/p>\n
Asked by ESPN whether it is a crucial missing element for Marussia just a week before opening practice in Australia, team boss John Booth answered: “No.<\/p>\n
“It’s vital for Bernie because he won’t be able to film us without it.”<\/p>\n
A team spokesperson confirmed that talks are now taking place.<\/p>\n
“Nothing is signed yet,” agreed Booth, “but it’s getting pretty close now.”<\/p>\n
