Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is reportedly planning to monetize fans' access to team radio communications in F1.

At the recent Strategy Group meeting, the controversial restrictions on radio communications between driver and team were dropped completely, with the FIA confirming that this was done "at the request of the teams and commercial rights holder."

Part of the deal is that messages that were kept private by the teams even before the radio clampdown was ever implemented will now be available to everyone.

The FIA said this is to provide improved content for fans and spectators.

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports that Ecclestone plans to make available this full access to all the communications between cars and the pit wall to the public -- for a price to be determined.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said that he welcomes the moves to make all radio traffic available to the public.

"We believe that it is a necessary part of entertaining the fans," Wolff said.
