Barcelona's track manager has denied reports that the circuit is facing financial woes that could cost it the Spanish GP.
Earlier this month, it emerged that officials in Catalonia had doubts about whether the Barcelona circuit could, based on finances, continue to play host to both a F1 grand prix and a MotoGP race.
"We may reconsider holding Formula One and motorcycling Grands Prix here," Catalan economy minister Andreu Mas-Colell told RAC1 radio. "It is not clear whether we can do so in the current climate."
This prompted suggests that Barcelona could alternate with Valencia, Spain's other venue, which had almost admitted to financial difficulties.
However, Barcelona's track manager Salvador Servia is adamant the venue can and will continue to host the Spanish GP.
"Only a disaster - say, an earthquake - is a problem," said Servia. "Forget all the rumours and headlines, we are still working as we were before."
As for F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's warning that the number of European races could be cut to five, Servia said: "If there are five then we want to be one of them, and we will fight to be.
"We have had no communications from Ecclestone or his organisation regarding these rumours and headlines.
"We are here, working to fulfill our contract until 2016 and thinking about 2020 as well."
