Moss Calls For Silverstone F1 Return

Racing legend Sir Stirling Moss believes Donnington Park will not be ready to host the British Grand Prix in 2010 and thinks Silverstone should retain the race.

The Northamptonshire track is due to host its last race next year before Donnington takes over.

Commented Moss: ‘I don’t think Donnington is capable of holding it because it’s a tremendous change. Silverstone can cope with it, it’s greatly improved.

‘The drivers like it and it’s quite exciting there. I’m hoping that it will happen and it would be good for all of us.’

Speaking about the facilities at Donnington, Park Moss said: ‘Have they even got planning permission yet? I doubt that and to get it done it’s very difficult.

‘I think you’ll find that when it comes to it there won’t be anywhere else it can go other than to another country.

‘England is so important in motor racing. We have so many drivers and cars, so many parts and we manufacture a lot of cars here too.’
