Whitmarsh wants to race in Great Britain

If Bernie Ecclestone declared that he did not regret Donington, this does not seem to be the opinion of everyone. Thus, Martin Whitmarsh, the director of McLaren, reacted to indicate that “the loss of the British Grand Prix would be very damaging for the sport. »

« I don?t think it?s not just McLaren, I think all the teams in Formula 1 know the importance of the British Grand Prix ", he added. " I am sure that McLaren, all the teams and FOTA will do everything to preserve this GP on the calendar. »

The organizers of the British Grand Prix at Donington failed to raise the necessary sum (135 million pounds) to renovate the circuit and host F1. The deadline having passed, Bernie Ecclestone should now turn to Silverstone even if the big financier of F1 has indicated that he will not sell out the British GP.
