Reminds me of the Ferrari / Mansell / Silverstone years

Sam Crawford I couldn't agree more with you.
Such a post would be understandable if the opposite outcome were true.

Probably produces the best races these days, with the possible exception of Interlagos

Strongly agree.

Maybe a good sign that other old favourites are getting new deals. Suzuka (last week) was “a special circuit and part of the fabric of the sport.” Wonder if there's a DomenicAI that generates these phrases?

Same as Spa. Now just sort out a deal please…

Good to see it remain on the calendar for a long time.

I hope you're joking.

What a weird comment

Silverstone does tend to produce pretty exciting races. It would have been mad not to renew the contract and would have put a lot of people off of F1 for good.

Or trying to make a street circuit happen.

If I start saving now I might be able to aford a race by 2034…

It's so well attended and obviously produces one of the best atmospheres on the calendar, it seems a no brainer. It's nice we seem to have moved on from the Bernie vs. BRDC years.
