Cornering the market
Article Abstract:
Formula One Owner Bernie Ecclestone plans to float around 50% of his equity on the stockmarket whilst retaining a 30% holding. The new company will be called Formula One Holdings and it is predicted that it will be worth between 1.5 billion-2 billion pounds sterling. Advertisers wish to make motor racing more popular by increasing the number of countries who hold Grand Prix races. Plans to ban tobacco advertising may force the Formula One management to race in countries such as Malaysia where a ban has no affect. Formula One has plans to move into merchandising and developing restaurants.
