Mr. Ecclestone had said last year that Brazil would be extended but there were apparently a few things on teh to-do list before making it official. Mr. Ecclestone held off signing the deal until it could be shown that the organizers were going to spend $15M in paddock improvements.
The good news for Brazil? Mr. E finalized the details and signed the deal this weekend. Brazil until 2014!
