Speculation this week suggested that the 76-year-old's visit to Valencia for the spectacular McLaren Mercedes launch, where 200,000 locals turned out to watch the team's racers in action on a street circuit, was a sign that Ecclestone is serious about granting Spain a second Grand Prix.
It is also suggested that parts of the temporary McLaren circuit matched a Valencia street layout devised by Hermann Tilke on a recent visit.
Ecclestone, who on the morning after the McLaren launch met with Valencia president Francisco Camps, told El Mundo Deportivo: "If we do something in Valencia, it will be on a street circuit."
Two races in Spain? C'mon! I'd rather see Kyalami or Buenos Aires or Moscow or India - anything but the land of the funky goatee!
