No 2007 Formula 1 videogame

For the first time since 1996, Formula One looks set to miss out on the videogame market about Sony and Bernie Ecclestone failed to agree a new deal.


Sony has held the exclusive rights to produce F1 games since 2003 with the most recent edition of the game, which was based on the 2006 F1 season, coming out on the PS3 last year.


The five-year license reportedly cost Sony $15m per year.


However, it expired at the end of 2007 meaning a new contract was needed but that has, according to GamesRadar, failed to materialise.


The website reports that Ecclestone is "playing hardball" over the fee, wanting more than what Sony are prepared to pay.


And with no resolution on the cards as well no work having begun on a new edition of the game, it looks as is F1's gaming fans will be without a videogame this season.
