British Grand Prix may be cancelled
With the future of F1 in Britain still in doubt after Donnington Park was unable to prove funding for the development of the circuit, British F1 ex-world champion Damon Hill has stated that even Silverstone – the home of F1 in Britain for the last 20 years may not be able to stand in to host the race due to competition from other countries who have better funding and infrastructure already in place.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 live he stated:
“F1 can go anywhere in the world and get a huge amount of money,”
With British drivers winning two F1 Championships in the last three years, the exclusion of Britain from holding a race will be a major body blow to the sport in the UK. Discussions are currently taking place and hopefully a resolution will be found soon.
