F1 boss says he is determined to keep British Grand Prix at Silverstone ‘forever’ (Daily Mail)
‘I am ready to discuss that (a new deal). It is just a matter of sitting down and finding the right conditions. Silverstone deserves to be on the calendar. It is forever. There is no other place in the UK, not Brands Hatch, not Donington, that has the necessary capacity for Formula 1. We are too big.’ (…) A street circuit in London has long been mooted, but Domenicali has categorically ruled that out as impractical.

‘Despite the absence of outward confirmation, McLaren hasn’t hidden its giddiness within the paddock as numerous members of the organisation have quietly stated that Dixon is signed and headed their way.

‘The last few race weekends have shown encouraging progress and, while we know there is still a lot of work ahead of us, it is important that we keep moving in the right direction. Austria, in particular, was one of the best weekends we have had, from an operational point of view, and a blueprint of what we need to do to keep progressing. We have seen positive signs from our car and from the way we have been operating together, and now the goal is to turn that into concrete results.’
‘It doesn’t feel like a school, it doesn’t look like a school. We’ve got incredible workshops sat there with glass walls that you can see through. It’s a beautiful building, a really stunning place and the sound of the track alongside it is just an added bonus really.’
