Sounds marvellous and Bernie's paying! what's not to like?

[jno]

driving round and round Buckingham Palace at speed? I can see that going down well.

[Gromit]

8 days of disruption.

[lcg]

in his dreams! queenie wouldn't want the racket and riff raff at an f1 session round her 'yard!!!! he may have lots of money, but she'll call the shots on this one....x

[jno]

why would Ecclestone come up with an idea like this now?

Could it be he wants to distract us from thinking about the guy who's just been sent down for eight years for taking £28 million in bribes from him?

Why can't they bloody well do it up north somewhere?! Why does London always have to be disrupted.... I know it's the capital but it's not the only decent part of England!

[B00]

Ahhh, I wrongly assumed it was about doctors.

[MoonRocker]

I see, AB seems to have more than the average amount of the "half empty" brigade! Lighten up, please!

[erin-x]

I think they should have one in Scotland. England already have Silverstone! Perso, I think my town would be ideal ;-)

[Frank97]

I would love to see it happen, just don't think it will though!
Hope I'm proved wrong!

[cazzz1975]

would this replace the british grand prix at silverstone?

[Frank97]

European grand prix perhaps.

[cazzz1975]

although germany and spain have been fortunate enough to have two grand prix's in the guise of "the european gp" along with their national gp I cannot see britain being as fortunate, though it would be nice

[HowardKennitby]

I thought this was someone looking for a doctor in London.

[DaisyNonna]

London gets everything. So pleased I do not live there.

[HowardKennitby]

never seen the point of street circuits

[snags]

^ Agree. Monaco is a fantastic driver's track but boring as hell from a spectator's viewpoint imo.

I seem to remember a Birmingham Grand Prix, or an exhibition event. About 20 years ago. It rained and was terrible.

It was a superprix - not a Grand Prix or exhibition event
I remember it well - I was there
