No concerns over EU investigation <\/strong><\/p>\n

Berine Ecclestone has dismissed concerns regarding the possibility of an official European Union investigation into Formula 1. The way the sport is run and the way revenue is shared could be Investigated by the commission if \u00a0a formal complaint about the way F1 is run.<\/p>\n

Kvyat bounce back<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dannil Kyvat is keen to bounce back ahead of his team\u2019s home race next weekend in Austria. Kvyat was Red Bull\u2019s sole point\u2019s scorer in Montreal after he finished ninth.<\/p>\n

He told NBC Sport \u201cI was at Toro Rosso last year so we didn\u2019t have too much pressure from a media point of view, certainly not as much as the Red Bull Racing guys, so it was pretty easy from my point of view.”<\/p>\n

He says he knows the Red Bull Ring well because he raced on it in junior formulas. Adding \u201cI think one of the best circuits on the calendar. It\u2019s fast, it flows well, the lap is pretty busy. It\u2019s a good circuit and I have good memories of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
