Korea GP cancellation rumours 'rubbish' - Ecclestone

Bernie Ecclestone on Sunday insisted next month's Korean grand prix will go ahead.

It has emerged that despite September 21 being the originally belated date for the Yeongam circuit's final inspection, the FIA is not now expected to sign off the track until next week or even later.

A South Korean delegation is in Singapore this weekend, triggering the latest round of paddock rumours about whether the race will take place -- including talk of a looming typhoon.

"We're happy with the circuit at the moment," F1 chief executive Ecclestone told the Korea Herald newspaper from Singapore.
