MIAMI (Florida): Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has hinted that Singapore Grand Prix chiefs no longer want to hold an F1 race, reported Motorsport.com. 

There has been speculation for several months on whether Singapore is renewing its current contract, which runs out after next year's race. However, in an interview with German publication Auto Motor Und Sport published Sunday, Ecclestone said that his belief was that Singapore was not going to extend its race deal.
