How certain is the event in Montreal - and since Donington is getting more unlikely every day, will there be a replacement?
Is there still a chance that Donington may be ready for 2011? Probably.
So Bernie just needs a replacement for one season.
As opposed to Bernie, Silverstone want the GP for the whole 17 years at an affordable rate.
There might be other circuits interested in a one-off event at a last-minute starting fee for 2010, but none of those are from the UK.
Who would I like to see as a replacement, besides Silverstone?
Portimao for sure. Imola deserves a chance. Indy won't be possible because the date is not back-to-back with Montreal. Dubai Autodrome could probably afford it the easiest. Magny-Cours might also be a possibility, since there are still plans for a revival of the French GP.
It's better to have a one-off replacement than no GP at all.
