How can Bernie say that the British GP isn’t important? Britain has provided the last two world champions (drivers and teams) which *has* to be a revenue earner. Lewis is likely, if not Jenson too, to be going for the title again next year.

Bernie will come out with any old rubbish to get a contract signed.

Wasn’t Campos the team that was complaining that they signed up for a budget limit and that that was suddenly dropped?

They did some work for a new tunnel a while back, but it was still being used as a race track recently.

The track should be available for racing, but haven’t they already lost MotoGP to Silverstone in leiu of the F1 grand prix? As for being a rock venue, that was just a tiny sideline to bring in a few extra quid, it isn’t the future of Donington.

If Busch only wants to come into F1 and dick about for a couple of years, I doubt that would endear him to fans or teams.

17 years isn’t enough? Nurburgring and Hockenheim have trouble committing to more than a couple of years at a time.
