The track itself is going to change. -
I'm not keen either. The changes made at Donnington over the next 2 years will be massive though, imagine all the tarmac run off's they are going to have to lay now!
At least Suzuka is back next year. My dodgy memory seems to tell me they are doing a year on year off rotation with Fuji though I'm not 100% sure on that.
Quick, call Tilke and get him on the case! Bet Bernie already has actually!Originally posted by ChrisField View PostComment

Suzuka is on rotation with Fuji Speedway. As Alastair says, there would be no way Bernie would sign unless the venue is going to go under the knife to bring it up to GP standards. A 10 year deal is long though. Who else gets the feeling that Eccelstone is having a petty dig considering the announcement just happens to be on the British GP weekend. Nasty little prick.Comment

This fits in with the long time rumours that Donington could be losing the MotoGP and it going to Silverstone.Originally posted by ChrisField View PostCya Silverstone. British F1 GP moving to Donington from 2010.

A tad more local for me!Comment

I wonder how this will effect the plans to redevelop Silverstone? They obviously would have been relying on the F1 to recoup the costs.Comment

Silverstone will probably fall to pieces now as why bother to invest if the 'Grand Prize' of Motorsport has gone to a rival circuit and for 10 fooking years,too. Why they didn't do a rotation, Suzuka/Fuji style is beyond me.
The trouble with Bernie is that for him its just $$$. He doesn't care about history at all. It's beyond comprehension that the the home of motorpsort, not just F1, Great Britain should be without a GP. The mere fact that he has hinted and threatened is enough to
prove that. We should be extremely proud of the fact that our country leads the world in motorsport and specialist sports car production, considering how much our car industry has crumbled in recent decades. The Govt should recognise that too. Literally, the world comes to the country for motorsport expertise, it provides billions in tax revenue yet it's treated like a minority sport, akin to hockey or snooker or something.
The one ray of hope is that maybe the money will not materialise for Donington's redevelopment. Its a promise after all and if it fails (who knows) then Silverstone will be back on track. Its rightful place :-: :-: :-:Last edited by Richard.John; 05-07-2008, 00:49.Comment

Just watching the build up to qualifying. Brundle looked decently fast in this year's Red Bull. Nuff respect to the guy.
Loved Hamilton's expression as he read out the first option in this week's competition. Hilarious.
Now, come on Kimi!Comment

I love the palpable air of disappointment when Hamilton bottles it again. Entertaining session again. Shame Webber didn't get pole, he's a good driver. Well done to Kovalinen. Let's hope it rains tomorrow.Comment

Yeah his expression was gold "Not bloody likely"Comment

Looks like it's sewn up for Lewis at the moment. Tactically poor from Ferarri today and the driver errors haven't helped. Ferarri used to be the best at tactics but not anymore!Comment

Wonderful drive from Lewis, should shut up the doubters for a week or two.
Ruben's was comedy gold on the podium as well. Ironic that Ferrari messed up tactically, while Ross made all the right moves over at Honda.
Shame about DC though

Quality drive from Lewis, can't believe he was so much faster than anyone else! 70 seconds ahead of second place, amazing.
What the hell was Massa up to though?

Heidfeld looks like he's back on form. He had a respectable qualifying, and had great pace in the race. He is only 10 points behind Kubica, Hamilton was 10 points behind Massa a few hours ago so it shows how quickly things can change.Comment

Brother in law just booked us tickets for next year's race. Pit Straight A
