Epsilon Euskadi has a better chance of winning a spot on the formula one grid now that Max Mosley has departed.<\/p>\n
That is the suggestion of Carlos Gracia, the head of Spain’s motor racing federation.<\/p>\n
He told the Marca sports newspaper that the Spanish outfit has the “best facilities” of the other hopefuls but still missed out on a 2010 debut to HRT, Virgin and Lotus.<\/p>\n
“When the old FIA granted the licenses to be in formula one it was done with haste and with not accurately assessing the infrastructure.<\/p>\n
“I think and I hope that now it will be different,” added Gracia, referring to the appointment of Jean Todt as the new FIA president.<\/p>\n
1996 world champion Damon Hill, who acted as a steward in Monaco last weekend as part of a Todt initiative, also backs the sport’s new regime.<\/p>\n
“I think we’ve come through a phase in formula one history that has been quite turbulent,” he told GP Week.<\/p>\n
“Now things seem to have settled down and we’re focusing again on racing.\u00a0 That’s the way it should be.<\/p>\n
“Before, it was like having a film director who wanted to be in his own film,” added Hill.<\/p>\n
