Russian federation president Victor Kiryanov said he was confident the
country's presence would grow while Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said
he was also pleased with the development.
"Russian motor sport needs support from big business to develop," said
Kiryanov. "Getting a Russian team into Formula One is a crucial step forward...
"Acquiring the Russian licence marks the first step of a long journey for the
Russian motorsport and for our country toward reaching the highest levels of
international motorsport.
"I hope that some day, thanks to our joint efforts, Russian drivers will be
racing and excelling in Formula One," added the Russian.
