Pringle: "Silverstone is the rock in the surf for this championship''

Together with the Red Bull Ring, Silverstone is currently the best candidate to hold the first races. It is not crazy according to the director of the circuit, who sees especially street racing in trouble.

Eight races have already been postponed from the official calendar of 2020, but there is still hope. The next races on the calendar are those of Austria and England and there the sounds are positive. Austria would have already tested the staff on the coronavirus and Silverstone would also like to organize one or more races.

''When you see which races are currently falling over, those are the races that are held in the centre of a city. That's great if all goes well, of course, but on a permanent circuit like Silverstone's you can always race and that gives certainty,'' Stuart Pringle says opposite The Race.

Pringle is proud of 'his Silverstone'. "Silverstone is the rock in the surf for this championship. Formula 1 recognizes that too. Monaco, Spa, Monza and Silverstone are just the cornerstones of this sport and can't really disappear'', Pringle concludes his self-promotion.
