Moss expects Silverstone to retain British Grand Prix

Sir Stirling Moss has said that he believes the British Grand Prix will not be held at Donington Park in 2010 but at Silverstone. According to Moss Donington Park will not be ready in time to host the British Grand Prix.

"I don't think Donington is capable of holding it because it's a tremendous change," Moss told the BBC. "Silverstone can cope with it, it's greatly improved. The drivers like it and it's quite exciting there. "I'm hoping that it will happen and it would be good for all of us."

Speaking about Donington Park Moss said: "Have they even got planning permission yet? I doubt that and to get it done it's very difficult. I think you'll find that when it comes to it there won't be anywhere else it can go other than to another country.

"England is so important in motor racing. We have so many drivers and cars, so many parts and we manufacture a lot of cars here too."
