It's at times like this, I'm disgusted to find myself thinking "Come on Richard Branson, throw a couple of million out of umm patriotism or something." The thing is, I've just moved 120 miles to within 10 miles of Castle Donington, to find that the MotoGP is gone and now the F1 probably ain't gonna make it. Brilliant .

And now the scramble starts to ensure we have a british GP. Doesn't matter to Bernie though, just who offers the cash (or hasn't upset him once, a long time ago). Never mind that we've had two successive british champs, a lot of the teams/technology is here... |

It annoys me that we can't seem to come up with the funding for a British GP given that, as previously stated, we have had consecutive world champion drivers and alot of the teams are based here. It would have been sad to see it move away from Silverstone had Donnington been able to secure the funding. As a business Silverstone need a reasonable contract with the poison dwarf in order to make the investment required to the facility. Damon Hill is not going to commit to spending obscene amounts of money to make facility improvements required if Silverstone is to be only seen as a 'stop gap'. Thats business! Sadly the poison dwarf does have the advantage of being able to sell to the highest bidder. Lets hope that this is not the case and they can come up with a reasonable solution. These things tend to sort themselves out. | |

| Might be an inflated salary to buy him out of his Ferrari contract.

| Lewis signed his contract years ago though I think which is effectively for life so thats why his contract is relatively low

It says it's a 2009 salary which is being paid by Ferrari iirc. I doubt he negotiates his own contract so I guessed his manager got him a good deal. Finnish interest was presumably worth that much to Ferrari. I think he'll take a pay cut for 2010. | |

Toyota have just announced they're pulling out of F1 (according to Aunty Beeb) That'll probably be Koybayashi's drive gone then. |
