That is partly true (on the face of it) and partly Bernie's way of trying to get some more from the BRDC. It wasn't the best possible piece of media relations for the BRDC to build themselves a nice new clubhouse before doing (or appearing to do) anything else.
However, if you've been to Silverstone this year, you can see for yourself that there is much work underway. Not entirely sure what they're doing, but it looks good...
