Renault team boss Flavio Briatore has revealed that part of FOTA’s plan for the future is to ensure that fans get a better deal by offering them more spectator friendly racing, cheaper ticket prices and a return to some of the sport’s more famous circuits that have been removed from play due to Bernie Ecclestone’s high financial demands.

Speaking after a FOTA meeting on Thursday afternoon, Briatore referred to the recent Turkish grand Prix where just 36,000 fans passed through the gates over the three day weekend and assured fans that they are working on ensuring a better show to take place in front of packed grandstands.

"Even if the likes of Turkey are paying more money, we would rather have stadia that are full," said Briatore. "It is better for the spirit of the sport. We want stands full of fans. There is no point spending money on an empty cathedral.”

“We have achieved what we want, a Formula One with the best drivers, the best teams and we want to work to have a better show. We want to make sure the fans are with us and are enjoying the fight between the drivers. The fans like a show, they like a race and we need to talk about the sport again. We are happy to achieve that situation."
