Marko heard Monaco wants spectators during next race
Jan.22 - The fate of Monaco's fabled grand prix this year is about more than just a press release.
That is the news from Red Bull's highly-influential Dr Helmut Marko, who was speaking with the German media after the Automobile Club de Monaco earlier this week scotched rumours the street race may once again be cancelled.
"I heard that they are currently working on a concept to allow the race to take place with half of the spectators," Marko said.
The Austrian said he has faith that new F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali can navigate the sport through a second consecutive covid-affected season.
"The new Liberty CEO Stefano Domenicali is doing an extremely good job," said Marko. "You can tell that he's a racer."

Time this boring procession was binned. The only thing that benefits from this farce, is Monaco.
IF, and I emphasise if, this is an accurate quote, Marko has again demonstrated his ignorance. Greg Maffei is the CEO of Liberty, Domenicali has simply been hired to manage F1. Liberty was shopping F1 around before the pandemic and they remain eager to offload the albatross if they can return F1 to profitability. Ecclestone and Penske are both a bit gray at the edges, maybe Stroll? We need a RACING leader, not a corpfreak.
Monaco F1 race hasn't been worth watching for years now.
just a procession from start to finish...
