Future of British Grand Prix at Silverstone at risk over 'potentially ruinous' costs
"The last Grand Prix held at Silverstone in July 2016 attracted 139,000 fans to the circuit and was won in dramatic circumstances by a British driver, three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
It was an organisers' dream but the event still "fell short of budget". The same race in 2015 ended up costing Silverstone £2 million."

A return to Brands Hatch ........or Donnington perhaps?
Bernie Ecclestone, chief executive of the Formula One Group which manages Formula One, said: "If they want to activate a break clause, there is nothing we can do.
"Two other tracks have contacted us and we are keen to keep a British Grand Prix, there is no doubt about it, we want to have one.
"As far as Silverstone is concerned, it's not in our hands."
