Ecclestone says News Corps' image to damaged to takeover F1

Ecclestone: "If they were to bid for F1 they might find that people would object to it. We have still had no contact from News Corp about a takeover of F1."

The 80-year-old also ruled out a move for F1 to Murdoch’s pay-TV networks and said he hoped the sport stayed with the BBC in Britain.

"Let’s wait and see about the BBC because at the moment they want to make a noise," said Ecclestone. "I can’t see how the BBC could cancel (its contract). We could probably sue them."
