I read that the current contract was a rising cost contract year on year negotiated with Ecclestone.
Silverstone will exercise the break clause in the contract due to rising costs, then renegotiate with Liberty at a slightly reduced cost (perhaps even with some input / contribution from the Gov't as other countries do - I don't think it was coincidence that there was an F1 event in Central London on Westminster's doorstep demonstrating how popular the sport is).
Watched a bit of yesterdays race, quite a good ending, what with punctures for the Ferrari's - taking away Raikkonen's podium then giving it straight back to him, with Vettel falling low enough to bring his championship lead to just one point.
Also positive to hear that Martin Brundle appears to be doing OK after he was taken ill during the broadcast on Sky - stomach virus, apparently.
