F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali insists that Formula One is not up for sale despite reports of $20 billion bid
A $20 billion offer was made by Saudi Arabi♏a’s investment fund last year to purchase F1 from its current owners, Liberty Media, according to Bloomberg.
That led FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem to query the huge pric🃏e-tag - lawyers on behalf of F1 wrote him a letter to accuse him of commenting on issues outside of his remit.
Asked if F1 was up for sale, Domenicali told Sky: “I should ask 🌃my 🧜shareholder, but I don’t think so.
“We are investing in F1. You saw what real money we hav🌜e put into Las Vegas, land for $240m. We will invest half a💯 billion there.”
F1 purchased land in Ve🌠gas and will spend a total of $500m on the site of the new grand prix, a new business strategy which deviates from working alongside local promoters.
“We are happy,” Domenicali said. “It is the jewel of the p𒅌ortfolio. They are comfo🦂rtable in what we are doing.
“We are delivering a good job.”
