Silverstone should not mortgage its future for the benefit of staging a once per year event, Let BE/CVC take their race to another desert camp, the world fans would loose interest and Circuits like Silverstone would eventually be reinstated.

Silverstone should say: NO thank you, wish BE/CVC well and Good bye!

I would offer Bernie and CVC/FOM half of that iwth no increase per year and say to them take it or leave it. Silvestone doesnt need F1 but F1 does need Silverstone.
Tracks like Silverstone , Spa, Monza, Imola, and a few others are the backbone and the sould of F1.

Anyone know about some kind of Bernie’s successor?

Let’s face it; none of this wrangling is about what’s good for F1, or for the British Grand Prix. This is only about what’s good for Bernie Ecclestone. If it was, Silverstone would have been off the calendar a long time ago in favour of much more interesting tracks like Donnington or Brands.

I am not from UK (Poland) and have to admit you are lucky to have several champions, now back-to-back.
You have several racing track within UK and it is quite easy to attend F1 race for you.
Now you are in danger that f1 will withdraw from UK.

The hell he must be crazy to request £370m !!!
I wish FOTA will withdraw from $$BernieF1 circus.
Don’t get on your knees and do not accept this offer from that *******!

BTW, Monco is free. They don’t get charged. Bernie has stated that, “Monaco brings much more to us than we bring to Monaco.” Go figure. Who says he doesn’t have a soft spot!
