2010? It'll be getting dark then. Couldn't they put it on around 1500 like all the other races?

Shame, I was hoping they would switch it to Brands Hatch.
Still, important thing is they have kept a British Grand Prix. Little Bernie has had it in for Silverstone for years, so it was a matter of time before they lost it.

Brands Hatch would be great but its majorly lacking in decent facilities, Donington should be alright as it hosted the European F1 race some years back. Silverstone had their chance and it seems as though Bernie has had enough, shame cos most people have had enough of him!

I am guessing that there will be some pretty major investment in the circuit before 2010...just hoping that they don't have to jump through as many hoops as we did with Falmer.

yeh it said on internet that theres going to be 100 million investment, but will be hard to find places for 100,000 seats like at Silverstone

Is it me or is there something decidedly wrong with her Norks, after from the fact they would knock his eyes out.

Nice work by Bernie there, to reveal Silverstone are losing the GP in the same weekend that they host it.
Top marks for diplomacy, as usual. He does seem to be on a continual power trip (short man syndrome?).

Come to think of it, it would be way more entertaining if he decided that Loftus Road wasn't fit for purpose (ie wasn't paying him enough money) and announced he would be staging QPR games at, say, St James's Park from 2010.

I for one am glad silverstone is going, i went there in 1999 and the views are limited and the track is flat.Donnington has tighter corners and has inclines to add to the excitement
