Seen this today and it looks like more bad news for Donington's plans to be the next venue for the British GP.
Could it really be that the thousands of fans who at the time said "this will never work" actually knew what they were talking about and that in some way Mr Ecclestone was wrong on this one??

Silverstone and Brands managed to share the Brit Gp through most of the 70's and early 80's but could that sort of set up work again in this country? It makes it more likely that we could find ourselves in the same situation as Japan and Germany with the non-host track refusing to take up the slack left by the host year track pulling out.
At least in the plus column Bernie is saying that there will be a British GP and that Silverstones case to hold it is looking stronger.
