I hope Silverstone stays but it is not an easy problem.On Sky coverage on Friday someone said Liberty would take over the race but they needed the venue for 3 weeks for free for set up and pull down.BRDC said no so there goes one option.
Re the section I've stressed - doesn't Monaco have a "no-sanction fee" deal?

I think it would be politically very difficult for a UK Government to introduce a subsidy which would effectively be paying Liberty an unjustified chunk of money.......
