i'm not 100% convinced this is the end of the British GP just Bernie's way of forcing Silverstone and the BRDC into action.

if you look at it the only income Silverstone get from a GP is from ticket sales and merchandise and the rest goes to paying Bernie for the race. We pay 9 million but some races in Europe and other areas pay more.

if you look at the circuit it is a classic with lots of fast sweeping corners rather than just 3rd and 4th gear turns which is all Herman Tilke seems able to design.

Spa, Brasil, Imola have worse facilities and maybe even Monza as well.

Of the new cuircuits they are GPs of nowhere that circuit could have been built by anyone on any bit of land
