Could a former F1 favourite be headed back to the F1 calendar?

Formula 1 bosses Liberty Media are reportedly in talks to bring back the Argentine Grand Prix, starting from 2019.

According to Arturo Rubinstein, president of Blue Capital, told the Independent that he is holding negotiations with Liberty.

The race would be held at the Autodromo Juan y Oscar Galves, the same track as the Grand Prix was held intermittently between 1958 and 1998.

Rubinstein admitted that the track needs some work: "The works to repair and improve the circuit will start as soon as we sign the agreement to hold the race in Buenos Aires for a five-year term. In an expert's opinion, the works may be finalised six months after they start.

"Our preference is to have the race held in 2019, at the beginning of the calendar, back to back with Australia.

"Historically, the Formula One races in Argentina were held at the beginning of the calendar. Another alternative is to have it in November, before or after Brazil.

"In early 2014 we had our first meeting in London with Bernie Ecclestone, but the political and economic situation in Argentina did not help to make it happen during the following years but now it's the right time."

Michael Schumacher won the final Argentine Grand Prix in 19998 for Ferrari.
