F1 » Donington F1 partner admits funding fears

One of the key partners in Donington Park's £100 million British Grand Prix re-development plans has admitted that it is far from the ideal economic climate in which to be trying to raise funding for the project.

"and Gillett's with 30 million of his money"

"I thought that Gillett and White with their personal money [millions]"

:) I'm crying here! Trust me, he hasn't got a personal pot to pi55 ***** None of this venture so far has involved any of his own money....he has none! He's got to where he is by blagging and if he pulls this off, it should go down in history as the biggest blag ever! :)

In my opinion i just think Bernie does not want an F1 race to be hold in England fullstop!
The poisoned dwarf (Bernie) got rid of Silverstone so it could go to Donington park in the hope it would fail, so then he can pull the plug on the British Grand prix in the hope he can take his F1 circus elsewhere!
Bernie just wants to go where the money is, and yet he does not have the teams and most impotantly of all us the fans interests at heart!
If Bernie messes up the sport then fine, but then a rival series which is fair to all could be created to rival F1 and bring back the entertainment we all are looking for!
Times are changing, even Ferrari have turned against their biggest fan (Bernie)!

Perhaps Bernie doesn't understand the meaning of the law of diminishing returns. At least 4 multi-billionaires have taken their own lives over the few weeks. Max & Bernie should follow their example to save the sport.

In regards to my post, when I say 'World Class' I didn't mean the layout of the track and the racing spectacle, the infrastructure and the venue as a whole is the problem.
Dated and screwing the fans for cash spring to mind with no return.

Bernie said it in a nutshell. He stated that when other countries are interested in hosting a GP he would love to take them to look around the British circuit to get an idea.. NOT have to steer them away and look at some other countries circuit!!

Bernie I'm sure would love to show them round a decent well invested British Grand Prix circuit as he is British himself. Shame he has to bend arms in all sorts of ways to get what Britain should already have!

British as I am...if Donnington doesn't work out I'd rather we not have a Grand Prix than to go back to shabby embarrassing Silverstone.

Perhaps then and only then will someone think 'whoops we better pull our fingers out of our behinds and actually do something here!!!''

I've been to Silverstone many times and cannot believe how a developed nation like ourselves cannot manage to have a Grand Prix circuit that is World Class...
Hmm then again I take my mind back to Wembley Stadium.... what a fiasco that was!!!

Sunny you always crack me up. Silverstone is a privately run concern unlike most government backed european circuits that cannot afford to keep making a loss. Bernies excuse that the facilities are poor is also known to be rubbish, just look at Brazil!

I can't see Donington finishing in time or sourcing the cash, however if they do get started they will have plenty of building firms to choose from at the moment and should get a good deal!

I'll play the Devils' Advocate here. Bernie has every right to take his "show" where ever He wants to. Perhaps losing the British GP will be the final straw that causes the FOTA and the Fans to Revolt and Dispose of the GLB. If it takes the Brit's GP to do it. Fine. Take one for the Team Guys :) Down with Bernie! Down with Max!
