To absolutely no-one's surprise, the stakeholders in Donington Park are falling out already (owners suing the new leaseholders/promoters for unpaid rent).
Will Bernie snap this one up for himself (probably not) or does this just play into his hands and allow more room for another Grand Prix in another hotbed of motor sport fervour like India or Russia?(see the packed grandstands in China, Turkey, Bahrain, Malaysia).
Oh dear. The country that invented the Grand Prix is off the calendar already and will Britain now follow? For one thing, it would be so unfair on the hundreds of F1 employees working for teams based in the UK who only get to go to one GP a year.
Damon was on the radio this morning saying Silverstone is ready and willing but I think Bernie would rather chew off his own arm. Now is the time for Sir Frank and Sir Ron to do a bit of leaning.

How about sitting down with all the parties Bernie and sorting something out instead whinging to the press.
The government here did all it politically could by building proper access roads for Silverstone. The tarmac is barely dry and Bernie moves the race to Donington which is served by country lanes even smaller than Silverstone in the bad old days!
Anyway, he doesn't care about Europe. The economics of CVC's debt mountain mean Bernie needs the millions willingly paid by undemocratic governments in the 'new territories'. It is a disgrace.
