[QUOTE="Topper, post: 605768, member: 186250"] Seeing as the taxpayers already own 75% of the banks I fail to see the significance of your statement about the taxpayer. To compare a small operation like Silverstone to the third largest company in the world is a futile comparison. Silverstone do not sell goods essential to human existence they are merely an entertainment industry. In comparision to the supercircuits built in the past 10 years yes I agree, more suited to the country we have become perhaps......... That still does not mean that we should have to do without a British Grand Prix for one year, I am confidant that if the general public put this to the vote they would vote for Silverstone for one more year rather than do without. The actual problem is, it would mean that Bernie would have to eat humble pie and talk to people he has fallen out with. As you say this happened 20 years ago the poor old fool obviously still bears grudges and is prepared to cut off his nose to spite his face and the British motor sport supporters suffer the consequences of his childish and unprofessional actions My comment is not a distraction it is firstly topical and secondly meant to highlight the fact that the government of the moment never have been sympathetic to sport or motor sport. It is my opinion, one which on this forum I am allowed and one which I think is valid. Firstly your statement is regretably incorrect Secondly the British weather does not allow for much dry weather testing and is therefore not the preferred circuit for testing, I do not find that unusual. Lets be honest here you prefer the sunshine in Spain I am sure!:) [/QUOTE]
