No matter that the promoter of the Belgian Grand Prix has gone bankrupt, and the Wallonian government has said that it will not underwrite the costs, Bernie Ecclestone says that a contract is a contract and demands that the 2006 race goes ahead.

Talking to Belgian daily, Le Soir, Ecclestone said: "There is a contract between us and the Walloon government, I am held to with it and I do not see why it would still be necessary to discuss it.

"We have but one concern," he added, "that the contract is respected. When a contract is signed, it should be respected, there should be no need for further debate."

The Wallonian government is seeking to discuss the situation with the F1 supremo, but he claims that there is no need.

"Why do we need to negotiate?" he said. "The contract exists."
