Donington, an English dilemma

The 2010 season calendar Formula 1, communicated on Monday, poses a problem in Great Britain. The National Grand Prix, scheduled for July 11, is already on hold due to the progress of work on the Donington Park circuit, which is to replace Silverstone for hosting the British Formula 1 Grand Prix. However, if Donington does not If he wasn't ready, Silverstone would be a great fallback solution.

But the date chosen, July 11, is also problematic for certain observers across the Channel. The same day as the Grand Prix will be held the final of the Football World Cup, and the English hope to see the national team shine there. Many people dream of the Three Lions reaching the final and would not like to choose between the stands of Donington Park and that of the Johannesburg stadium. As things stand, fans of football and Formula 1 will have to choose between supporting their drivers, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, and their national selection.

En WRC, the “clash” was avoided, at least for the viewers. THE Rally of Bulgaria, which will be played on the second weekend of July, will end on Saturday July 10, the day before the World Cup final.
