It never made sense to move the race to Donnington. I suspect that Bernie used this as a way to put the screws to Silverstone and extort yet more money from the British Drivers Club, which he appears to hate passionately.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Probably because the BRDC is a stuffy, tweedy, exclusive club and would never admit a jumped up used car salesman like Ecclestone into their hallowed midst, especially when his own people don't want anything to do with him.
I've like F1 so much more since he retired. And an Alles Deutscher Mercedes team might annoy a lot of people. But maybe Bernie would put on a Sudetenland GP for them.
@Maxichamp: Well, now is as good as ever to introduce this wicked video of a young Michael almost being run over by an even younger Heidfeld. Plus, bonus chubby Ralf cameo.

That said, shutting down London and racing would be awesome (see that London track in Need for Speed Shift. I can see my flat from it!)

Let's see the Eurowunderman run the cushion right up against the wall at Eldora. We'll see what he is really made of then.

Mike just wants to bust out the old Merc uniform and the mullet for old times sake.
By the way, the guy in the middle is the one everyone had their money on being world champ.

I think it'll be sweet. If he wins again, you've got to put a lot of faith in the the Brawn/Schumi combo.
