Hill fears for British GP future

[DJBoddington]

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill says the future of next year's British Grand Prix is far from certain because of competition from around the world.

With contracted venue Donington Park struggling to find the cash to redevelop its circuit, Hill is trying to move the event to Silverstone.

But he fears F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone may look elsewhere.

"F1 can go anywhere in the world and get a huge amount of money," Hill told BBC Radio 5 live.

"That's what Bernie's wrestling with. But it's not his job to give a discounted job to the UK."

The British GP has been held every year since 1948 and has a rich history, while recently English drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have won 2008 and 2009 world titles respectively with Brackley-based Brawn also clinching this year's constructors' crown.

Hmm yeah I hope there is a British GP too, just for the sake of the f1 fans so that they can be happy :) I don't watch f1 myself so it wouldn't affect me either way.

I've only really got into F1 this year.
Started watching it randomly when I was bored and now I love it!
Really hope they stick with Britain for 2010. From what i've read and that - there's alot of bad stuff happening to F1 next year xD
