Formula -1 boss Stefano Domenicali said that he expects the British Grand Prix to be “forever” on Wednesday.
Domenicali and at least a quarter of the 20 drivers of the network – including the British rookie Ollie Bearman and the former Ferrari man Carlos Sainz – will be held before the race of this weekend in Silverstone by Starrer in a downing street reception Sky Sports F1.
The American owners of F1 Liberty Media last year closed a new 10-season agreement with Silverstone last year to protect one of the jewels in the country's sporting summer until 2034 to be worth £ 300 million.
And before the 12th round of the campaign, in which the British driver Lando Norris won, Domenicali said: “I think Silverstone has the right properties to stay in the calendar forever because there is no other place where they can develop such a large event in Great Britain.”
During his meeting with a rigor, Domenicali will push home how important it is to develop the street infrastructure around Silverstone and the importance of the motorsport industry in Great Britain with an estimated annual value of £ 12 billion.

Stuart Pringle discusses whether he believes that McLaren will be victorious in Silverstone and which driver he believes is that he has his nose ahead.
It is believed that six thousand people in Great Britain are employed directly in the F1, while seven of the 10 teams on the network are located here.
Domenicali will also try to iron visa problems for some of the low -qualified workers of sport after the Great Britain exit from the European Union.
The 60-year-old Italian continued: “I will highlight the Prime Minister:” What are the numbers with Formula 1? “And:” How high are the technology and the excellence centers in Great Britain? “
“There are also things that we have to solve to solve the Brexit that there are visa and movement complications. We cannot be limited by people who have the opportunity to stay here for the weekend because they come from another country.
“I will also add the fact that Silverstone will represent the greatest sporting event in Great Britain, it must ensure that your plans have to be followed correctly.”

Domenicali, who has operated the sport since 2019 and recently passed a new five -year contract for his post, also admitted that there is an emergency plan for the last two rounds of the season – a week later in Qatar and in Abu Dhabi – in a week later – in the middle of political tensions in the Middle East.
He added: “We monitor the area and in daily contact with the racing gatherers there. So far we have not received the signal (that the races are at risk).
“We really don't hope and I don't even want to think about it, mainly for the overall picture and not for the race itself.
“We have a plan, but we hope that this cannot even think. Things change so quickly. We talk about running in December and now we are in July. We just have to be ready.”
