SILVERSTONE -- British Racing Drivers' Association (BRDC) president Derek Warwick says it is wrong to blame Liberty Media for Silverstone's current stand-off with Formula One as negotiations also came to a "dead end" in the Bernie Ecclestone era.
Earlier this week the BRDC, owners of the Silverstone circuit, announced the triggering of the break clause in its contract, meaning it can walk away from its current deal after the 2019 event. The circuit hopes to continue negotiations with new F1 owners Liberty in the hope of settling on a more financially agreeable deal to the one it signed with Ecclestone in 2009.
