Very disappointed, Silverstone is so boring! Better there than losing it altogether though.

 

It will all come down to money. If Bernie thinks he can make more money with an F1 race in another country than with the British GP at Silverstone (there's no alternative venue) he'll have no qualms in cancelling the British GP. There's no room for sentiment in F1 is big business and it'll be down to which is most profitable.

 

Brazil is partly replicated in Turkey; that first corner is pretty much identical. But Turkey, despite being the best of the new circuits, was dead this year, whereas at least Silverstone will be packed. So where would you rather go?

That's not entirely true. The sport is paid for by the sponsors, and particularly the motor manufacturers, and they won't want to lose the British GP, or the German GP, or the Japanese GP for that matter. We've seen that with Canada probably coming back; the teams and their sponsors are all very unhappy at losing the only North American race.

I think Bernie should recognise the importance of the classic circuits and give them a bit of a financial break, and then in turn they could spend some money on improving the facilities.

 

Eventually it has to move away from having so many European rounds to become a true World Championship. Africa needs a race, so do the Americans (whole different debate!) and possibly the Russians, im sure we will get there in the end.

If we lose the UK from the F1 calendar then eventually teams will move elsewhere too, followed by suppliers etc.

Silverstone needs to shape up and become more of a motorsport 'resort' as the americans like to say. An onsite hotel is a must along with developing an academy type racing school like La Filiere. Proper conference facilities would be helpful too, also a museum similar to Donington or Indy would again attract more people there.

 

I'm sure Bernie would take all the variables into account when deciding if it would be more profitable to move the British GP or not.

 

Its no use it being in Turkey, no turkish drivers I am aware of, remember what Spain was like pre Alonso. I would not go back to Silverstone s the track does not create excitement for the spectator, Im sure rearranging some corners could alter that, all they have to do is make one Brazil start finih straight to make it interesting.

 

Donington not Donnington

How difficult is it to spell the name correctly?
