Does F1 need a British GP more than it thinks?

There is still no certainty that there will be a British F1 GP next year. Donnington haven’t come up with the money and Bernie is not prepared to give Silverstone the deal it wants when there are other countries willing to pay astronomical fees to host a race.

Seen as Donnington nor Silverstone are anywhere near oil fields and certainly don’t have a government/Royal Family willing to stump up unreasonable cash, things are looking rather bleak.

The last Silverstone GP?

I hope this isn’t the end of Silverstone, or the British GP in general, but both seem uncertain at the moment.
