According to Crash.net, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta has denied reports that suggested he could become embroiled in the ongoing battle between the Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) and the FIA.

Monday, news started to circulate, stating that Ezpeleta’s organization could run the breakaway Formula 1 series should the FOTA teams decided to split from the FIA.

Ezpeleta has responded to the reports by denying that he has any intention to do anything outside of MotoGP.

Crash.net adds that the Spaniard businessman admires Bernie Ecclestone and would never want to go up against him.

The Englishman also helped Ezpeleta regain control of Dorna, which runs MotoGP, when IRTA (International Road Racing Teams Association) attempted a breakaway in the mid-1990s.
