F1 | Silverstone, target of 140 thousand people for this summer's GP

Despite the emergency Coronavirus and the spread of the "English" variant of the virus, Stuart pringle is working to the best of its ability to ensure that a British Grand Prix takes place with fans in the stands.

In an interview given to the newspaper Independent, the current Director of the circuit Silverstone he did not rule out an open-door competition, highlighting how the organization is developing a health plan to comply with all the rules imposed by the government for the containment of the epidemic.

“The possibility of hosting the entire public in our stands is still absolutely on the table,” said Stuart pringle. "Silverstone it's not a small stadium. Our 70.000 thousand seats are spread over three and a half miles. We have a lot of space available and being outdoors we have several entrances and exits. Everything is possible at the moment and I don't feel like ruling anything out. There is no guarantee, but we are doing our best."

On the 2021 edition he added: “I want as many people as possible in the stands. This is an extremely important aspect for Silverstone and we will do everything necessary to demonstrate that it is safe to do so. People want to get back to normal and appreciate a Formula 1 Grand Prix. We need to create the right environment."
