• ‘We’d like London to complement Silverstone, not replace it’
• Grand prix would likely be on periphery of the city, not central
Ross Brawn, Formula One’s head of motorsport, has again raised the prospect of holding a race in London but insisted it need not be at the expense of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where the contract ends next year.
Brawn, who plans the future of the sport for the owner Liberty Media, said the idea is being revisited but any grand prix would not be in the heart of the city. “I think because F1 is a week-long activity minimum, the disruption it would cause in the centre of London would be unacceptable,” he said.
