[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 605689, member: 259515"] Hot from Planet F1 News Bernie Ecclestone has ruled out Silverstone hosting the British GP next season and says he is prepared to shelve the race for a year in order for Donington to complete its required revamp to host the event." Donington has a long-term contract to host the race from next year onwards but its ability to do so has been cast in considerable doubt after the circuit's owners instigated legal proceedings against Donington Park Ventures. However, Ecclestone emerged from a "very good" meeting with Simon Gillett, the company's chief executive, on Monday to give the circuit his seal of approval and announce he would prefer to jettison the British GP for a year rather than make a return to Silverstone. "If the work at Donington is not finished in time, we would be happy to skip a year," Ecclestone told The Times. "I don't want to lose the British Grand Prix - that's the last thing we want to do, but we aren't going to Silverstone for sure."
