Ecclestone: Donington is Britain's last chance

According to Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone Donington Park will be the only option for Formula 1 to host the British Grand Prix. Ecclestone has warned that in case Donington is not ready to host the race in 2010 F1 won't ever race in Britain again.

"We won't come back," Ecclestone told The Times when asked if F1 will ever return to Silverstone. "We're in the same situation as we were before Donington came into the deal. I am sure they will be ready but, if not, we will sign with another country. There won't be a British Grand Prix. Pure and simple."
