Hill admits the BRDC need to be open to ideasBritain might have to share its annual Grand Prix with France if the countries want to remain on the calendar at all beyond 2009. That is the admission of BRDC President Damon Hill.
The 46-year-old admitted that, as has
become a traditional experience with Bernie Ecclestone, the Northamptonshire race's long term future is not secure.
Asked by reporters about suggestions that Silverstone could alternate a single annual event with French Grand Prix venue Magny Cours, Hill said: "We should remain open to all sorts of plans.
"It would be a last resort because we want to keep Britain in the frame every year," he cautioned.
There is some uncertainty about plans to redevelop the ageing circuit, which held the inaugural world championship race in 1950, amid a new era of competition against government funded events in Asia and the East.
Hill admitted: "(The Grand Prix) certainly would be very difficult to get it back if we lost it."
The circuit has a contract to host the British event for the next three years.
