Since Bernie Ecclestone takes so much of the ticket funding away from Silverstone, I wouldn’t guarantee a sell-out for just one year would satisfy Bernie’s greed. However, it could help.

As I’ve said before, Lewis Hamilton has saved Silverstone. Bernie won’t directly bail them out, but Silverstone has now been handed a golden opportunity on a plate. If it still can’t manage to make those renovations, I don’t think they’d have any excuses left.

I’m pleased Silverstone is benefiting from Lewis Hamilton’s successes. The Murray Walker “Â£99-for-three-days” ad must have helped (banishing the idea that British GP tickets have to be pricey), but having a local hero doing particularly heroic stuff must be the main reason why the general admission has gone. And that can only help Silverstone’s future.
