Reports: F1 boss strikes Nuerburgring deal BERLIN (AP) German media reports say Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has struck a deal for a grand prix as planned at the financially troubled Nuerburgring this summer. The Rhein-Zeitung newspaper says Ecclestone and Karl-Josef Schmidt, chief of the state-owned Nuerburgring operating company, agreed on a contract on Wednesday. Bild says government sources in Mainz confirmed the deal, which ensures the July 7 race can go ahead despite the racetrack's insolvency. Still to be decided was whether it would be called the German Grand Prix or European Grand Prix. A news conference to confirm the details will reportedly take place on Thursday. The Nuerburgring filed for insolvency last July. Updated January 30, 2013
