British Grand Prix 2010 Race Report

British Grand Prix 2010 Qualifying

The British Grand Prix is to stay at Silverstone for the foreseeable future after the circuit and its owners, the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), signed a deal to retain the event for the next 17 years. The race had been due to switch to Donington Park from 2010.

Silverstone had always said it was ready to step into the breach if Donington faltered, provided it was offered a similar long-term contract.

“This is tremendous news,” said 1996 Formula 1 champion Damon Hill, who is president of the British Racing Drivers’ Club that owns Silverstone.

F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone welcomed the deal, adding: “This will ensure the British Grand Prix is included on the Formula 1 calendar for many years to come, which is something I’ve always wanted.

As part of the deal Silverstone has promised to upgrade its facilities. Work on the pit and paddock complex is expected to start early in the New Year and be completed by the 2011 race.

British Grand Prix 2010 Qualifying

British Grand Prix 2010 will be held at Silverstone. After a lot of speculation and doubts that Donington Park will be ready to host Formula 1 Grand Prix in 2010, it was announced in December 2009 that the British Grand Prix will return to Silverstone after all.

The staging fee agreed is believed to be £12m for 2010, rising by 5% per year thereafter. The deal has a break clause after 10 years.

Silverstone, which first staged the British Grand Prix in 1948, admitted it needed to improve its ageing facilities but insisted it required the security of a longer-term contract to justify and help raise the finances needed to upgrade.
