Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly had a change of heart regarding his attendance at this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.

Earlier, amid the high-profile sale of the sport to Liberty Media, the F1 chief executive said that he would stay in London to help existing owners CVC with the transaction.

However, Bild reports that Ecclestone, 85, has "changed his mind".

Not only that, he will reportedly be trackside at the glitzy night race with Chase Carey, who will be F1's new executive chairman.

It was announced that Ecclestone has inked a new three-year deal to stay in his role, but other reports suggest that he will actually leave F1 at the end of 2016.
