Oh, he did also intonate that he expects the dispute with the Wheatcroft family to be resolved out-of-court, but couldn't exand on that point as it's an ongoing legal matter.
There was also a rumour that Bernie Ecclestone is set to buy Silverstone, which if true would clearly indicate he intends to run the GP there.
Yep, take the GP away from Silverstone, thus significantly denting it's market value, then buy it.Quote:

Agree totally. I little while back Max drew up a list of tracks which are the core historic circuits where Formula 1 will always visit, Silverstone was one of them as well as Monza and Monaco. That lasted all of about 5 minutes before they went back on it.

Well, that's one roadblock removed. The legal side is sorted.
Even more good news: they've got the block to their planning permission sorted. Building work will recommence on Monday.

Of course, they might just be playing host to Williams and Force India by then, while the bigger boys play down the road at Silverstone :eek:
Bernie's just told the BBC that should Donny not be ready, the British GP will return to SIlverstone, a fantastic about-turn! :D
It also backs up what Mosley says here:
