President Monaco Automobile Club, who is also a senior official FIA, confirmed media reports that the main disputed point of negotiation for a new contract with a Formula 1 owner that he wants Liberty Medium more control over the race in the princely city at Cote d'Azur.

"That is, we would have control over the track, over the commercials, over the awards ceremony, the choice of marshals - all of the above and more,”Is Boeri told the portal Monaco Info. "Sorry, but we've already run 79 Grand Prix races and as far as I'm concerned, it's clear that I won't follow them in all their demands,He insisted Boeri. "You may think I’m not flexible enough, but I still think, as far as Monaco is concerned, that this is not a race modeled on others (maybe Miami or Las Vegas next year, op.p.). Contrary to what Liberty Media thinks, the uniqueness of any race is essential."

Contract Monaka with Formula 1 ended after Sunday’s race, however Boeri reveals that the negotiations brought at least an agreement on essential topics. "We currently have a constant dialogue and everyone plays their part, everyone is on their side. They are there to reap our benefits, and we are here to keep them. They are not completely stunned and neither are we. There may still be about 10 percent for negotiations,He added Boeri.

That they want to Americans as large as possible control of Formula 1, is nothing new. That's why they are race organizers under increasing pressure, especially those to whom contracts expire and those who would like to join the calendar. A good indicator, for example, is the race in Las Vegas, which will be on the program next year, where the promoter is Formula 1 or Liberty Medium. Understandably, this is about money. If the organizer is willing or able to pay a huge amountas it happens on The Middle East, Americans will not interfere in the control of the race, v Monaco so is the second song. If they are not ready pay more, they will have to relinquish control An American, who will replenish their coffers from this race.

The Americans, however, have not only turned a blind eye to promoters who do not pay high enough fees, but also to significantly reduce the influence of the FIA ​​umbrella organization, currently chaired by Mohammed Ben Sulay, which is not to Liberty Media's taste. - Photo: HB Press

Goal Liberty Media after more control in Formula 1, it is also dispute with the FIA, which we have already reported. The new president of the umbrella organization Mohammed Ben Sulayem, which replaced Jean Todt, namely, it was not a choice to the taste of Americans, so you are great Liberty Media with the President Greg Maffei at the forefront strive to make a significant reduce the impact of the FIA to what’s going on in Formula 1. No one would be surprised if the owners of the royal class of motorsport decided to start write technical and sports rules yourself.
