it has been revealed that the long running saga, that is the future of the British Grand Prix. has finally been resolved. The owners of the Silverstone circuit (British Racing Drivers Club) have signed a 17 year deal to host the iconic race until 2027.

I for one am relieved that there will be a Formula 1 British Grand Prix from next year. This due to the fact that Donnington Park, the circuit that was due to host the race, had to be withdrawn because of financial irregularities.

One of the reasons why it is good for Formula 1 to have a British Grand Prix is that there are a lot of teams who are based in Britain. If there was no Grand Prix they would be denied a home race. There is also the fact of Britain’s long standing history with Formula 1 and motor racing in general.

This was one of many problems to dog the sport this year, and I for one am glad that this particular issue has finally been resolved.
