Not sure what it means for British GP next year - but it involves a lot of people responsible for the success of the F1 British GP.

It seems to revolve around certain Silverstone high end people and their failed attampts to sell the circuit for some reason.

 

I think maybe losing MotoGP, a big income stream might have been a factor.

 

But it seems to me that BRDC want control back, the previous lot in my opinion made a right mess of the Wing so much so that bike teams no longer use it.  It is almost a white elephant.

 

And they have failed to get a buyer and also industyr has not flocked there, no shock as though easy to get to now its miles form motorway networks for a hub.

BRDC have gone round and round in circles since the first proposed Silverstone buyout, maybe the circuit isn't viable as a high tech industrial park and it isn't the cash cow some members of the BRDC think it is!

 

Hopefully it will be the usual coup where nothing happens as I bought my GP tickets on saturday!
